It would be funny if he did, seeing as the largest Word Bearer guild wants him dead, so there's a damn good chance that if they decide to bring him in Erebus' campaign will go thusly.

1. Erebus arrives on Arkhona.
2. Erebus is immediately murdered by the local Word Bearers.
3. GW is left wondering what to do with Erebus' severed head.

You really think most Word Bearers are lapdogs of Erebus? Why would he need a council. He's a manipulator, not a ruler.

Aye, that's what I mean, he is the shadow ruler of the Word Bearers, always has since Lorgar was never strong enough, too kind, but not in the good way like Vulkan was

I'm sorry and it disgusts me to say this seeing as I know a shit ton about 40k. But I must claim ignorance on most of the word bearers post heresy....why exactly is Erebus hated?

he is a coward, a dick and he killed everyones favorit carectar Angel thal

Perhaps you should read First Heretic and Betrayer. Basically if Erebus had died immediately after enlightening Lorgar, we could have been the good guys.

The Emperor was an idiot.

That is all.

Somehow I doubt your reasoning for such an opinion is the same, but I concur regardless.

.....But....don't you want to be sworn to Chaos. I thought you dislike the Emperor.

I know that. But Erebus is a Chaos fanatic as all the word bearers are. Why then do they want him deposed?

Edit I am guessing he is a backstabbing prick, and this has something to do with the Word bearers for 40K books.

What makes you think it was a man?
