* AntiHero / AntiVillain:
** In stories told from the Imperial POV, the Imperium can most charitably be described as an AntiHero faction (and least charitably as a VillainProtagonist faction). They may be defending humanity from aliens, heretics, and worse, but they also uphold a xenophobic warmongering empire that brutally opresses the very people it tries to protect. It's explicitly called the "cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable", yet if the whole thing collapsed, humanity would probably go extinct thanks to bigger xenos factions or [[FateWorseThanDeath something even worse thanks to Chaos]].
** In stories told from a xenos faction's POV, the Imperium is more of an AntiVillain faction or at least a PunchClockVillain one. Sure, they may be trying to exterminate your entire race simply for not being them, but your average Imperial soldier is just fighting for his or her life and is arguably in a similar situation as you. There are (very rare) times where the Imperium is willing to tone down it's xenophobia to help defeat the forces of Chaos.

* ProperlyParanoid: The Imperium goes back and forth between this trope and ImproperlyParanoid multiple times in an ''hour''.
** Most of the aliens that allied with mankind in the Dark Age of Technology ended up betraying them during the Fall of the Eldar, so the Imperium has legitimate reasons to have a kill on sight policy for Xenos. However, this policy has made them ''numerous'' enemies, which contributes directly to how they are under attack on all fronts.
** Extreme mutations are a sign of interest by the Chaos Gods, so the Imperium understandably treats mutants with suspicion. This is often a driving factor in mutants ''joining Chaos'', though, creating a SelfFulfillingProphecy.
** On the one hand, when one single person has authority over the Imperium, they usually become a tyrant, so it makes sense that the Imperium tries to keep its various internal organizations at odds with one another. On the other hand, this has lead to many pointless conflicts where the Imperium bled itself of valuable forces because two groups had conflicting orders, showing the downsides of this disorganization. And as is shown with The Emperor, Lord Commander Solar Mecharius, and Roboute Guilliman, the few times whether one person is in charge of the Imperium and hasn't become a tyrants, they usually end up leading the Imperium into a Golden Age. So the jury is still out on how effective this is.

* FatalFlaw: Sloth, to a ''massive'' degree and in numerous forms. The Imperium refuses to innovate technologically or scientifically, adapt its tactics to fight new foes, or attempt to make alliances with other major powers to fight more pressing threats (e.g. Chaos, the Orks, and the Tyranids). It is made clear that while the Imperium [[JerkassHasAPoint has good reasons to mistrust these concepts]], it's rapidly biting them in the ass and contributing to mankind's gradual descent into extinction. A big part of why things are starting to improve in the age of the Dark Imperium is because Guilliman is willing to bin this dogma where necessary - Cawl has been given permission to advance new ideas among the Mechanicum, the Codex Astartes is being updated to account for new enemies, and the Imperium has made an alliance with of convenience with the Ynnari, and is starting to regain lost ground.

Not only it does support the sinisterness of the Imperium for the audience, it also has a good justification in-universe as the skull is notably used to represent the sacrifice of the Emperor for the survival of humanity.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: During his takeover, the Cardinals who fled from him were destroyed in a Warp storm which he saw as a sign of the Emperor's favor. Later on, the army he sent to quash the Confederation of Light was also destroyed in a Warp storm. He also claimed to receive visions from the Emperor about who to kill. He was noted as being quite psychologically unstable, so this all may have been a result of his madness. It's also possible that he was being influenced by Chaos; much more unlikely, but still possible, he ''was'' being influenced by the Emperor, who needed someone to clean house (the High Lords of Terra are notoriously inefficient and bad at their jobs).

*** In a wider display of this trope, on his return in Hive Acherone, he was regarded as a returning prince, though most of his supporters were the city's nobility. Since they were evidently more loyal to perceived social prestige or to their own class than they were to the Imperium or their own species, we weren't kidding when we said that von Straub represented many of the Imperium's woes.
