*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Pateron, link below.* Lion El’Jonson, the stoic and enigmatic primarch of the Dark Angels, stands as a figure defined by both tragedy and resurgence. During the Horus Heresy, the Lion was a masterful tactician and relentless warrior, yet his story was marked by mistrust and division, culminating in the betrayal of his closest confidant, Luther, and the shattering of Caliban, his homeworld. While other primarchs fought on Terra, the Lion’s campaign saw him hunting traitors across the galaxy, often operating in isolation, embodying both his strength as a hunter and the secrecy that would come to define the Dark Angels. In the Era Indomitus, millennia later, he awakens as a warrior reborn into a galaxy engulfed in darkness and despair. Unlike his brother Guilliman, who rebuilds the Imperium with a statesman’s hand, the Lion emerges as a lone knight-errant, clad in relic armor, bearing ancient weapons, and stalking the stars to deliver vengeance. From the haunted forests of his past to the battlefields of the present, Lion El’Jonson remains both a savior and a shadow—a warrior out of time, yet perfectly suited for the grim reality of the Imperium's darkest age.

These mighty legions, each led by a primarch, were the Emperor’s most trusted warriors, created to bring the light of the Imperium to every corner of the galaxy. As the Crusade advanced, the legions grew in power, but with the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, the Great Betrayal shattered their unity. The aftermath saw the fragmentation of the legions, and in the wake of the Heresy, they were reorganized into the Space Marine Chapters. This shift marked the beginning of a new era in the Imperium, one defined by the stoic and grim heroism of these smaller, more autonomous units, carrying the legacy of the legions in their blood.
