i know i read a couple of warhammer 40k books(helsreach,the grey knights omnibus),the emporer's about 38k?(im just guessing from the dialogue i can remember),but i figured people followed him because of his age,NOW i see its because of his age,wisdom,AND badassery
Currently the emperor is in a semi-alive state hooked to the "golden throne" which is a machine that artificially extends his life in a semi-conscious state. He continues to lead mankind through sheer force of will and badassery (seriously, he's still alive because he just doesn't WANT to die).
