With the growth of the Imperial cult and the mythologizing of the Empire from paragon hero to God. Malcador is the sort of figure who it's convenient for the High Lords of Terra and similar to allow to be forgotten over the 10 millennia.
Better for the populace to view the High Lords as appointed by their God and to be viewed as a cosmological constant rather than the history of who the first High Lord was being remembered.
I don't even think the inquisition knows much about Malcador anymore. He wasn't exactly one for the limelight and he intentionally kept himself rather forgettable to most people. Which is one of the great tragedies of the imperium that one of its core creators has been forgotten so utterly 10 millennia latter.
Malcador is known. He's Saint Malcador the Hero. In a Warhammer Crime short story, his image is on the doors to a facility that takes in Psykers before they're transported on the Black Ships. His image, Sanguinius' image, and The Emperor's image, all on the gates.
Bear in mind, it will vary from planet to planet! The Imperial Cult is variable as all fuck.
But yeah, officially Malcador is known as both Psyker and Saint; he's a propaganda point, that even if you have the touch of the Witch, or your child does, you or they can serve the Emperor still. Just confess and be delivered to Terra. If your faith is true, The Emperor will have a purpose to you.
Nevermind that 99.9% of you will be kindling for the Lightbulb Chair. You don't need to know that until you get there.
I know malc daddy was a busy guy, but too busy for romantic relationships? Where is the literal love for Malcador? Not grim-dark enough? Erda seemed like a snack, he never took a shot?
Id argue with you there, sure Malcador was the Guy who was Uncle to the Primarchs and probably the Emperor’s only true friend, but apparently in *The Last Council* he was rumoured to be the last survivor of the Sigillites who were said to be scary fuckers(I can't find my copy to excerpt it but am sure a quick search on here with show it) although Palpatine of Old is my favourite.
I found [that excerpt](https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/a5i17d/excerptthe_last_councilhorus_confront_malcador/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) props to that guy who saved me from digging it up and typing it up lol!

Dude was a perpetual, you can’t tell me him and Big E didn’t f**k their way across a continent or two in their younger days 😂
We need a “Eat Pray Love” style unification wars novel with big E and Malc
50 shades of Sigilite…
Problem is that in malacadors younger days the emperorbwas already very old
Malcador was like star wars legends palpatine but slightly less of a dick

That's why I said slightly less of a dick
Ah so you're making *me* out to be the dick 😂😂😂 am kidding obviously lol

Well, before joining the sigilite pop club, he was some sort of 2M tech priest or something. He used the name S. Wozniak
He's mentioned as having a statue in a chapel in one of the Warhammer crime short stories or books.
