Sel-Makor controlled emperor's voice that is only fact, was he weaker or stronger or at same power is speculation and nothing else. Emperor was weakened from previous voice's death when fighting with knight (it was even said in game by Scourge and hand I think ), he was in the middle of essence transfer ritual which was interrupted. Nobody could beat emperor's voice at his full power. So you can't use voice as power comparisson between warrior and knight. Everbody thinks warrior is just brute and not very powerful with force but he was compared with Exar Kun. Inquisitor beats them only with ghosts, without them he is weaker than both knight and warrior.
