Daemon Primarch Perturabo 1200
Perturabo was a mighty warrior with a keen tactical mind
when the Emperor discovered him on Olympia and gave him
charge of the Iron Warriors Space Marine legion. He led his
troops on many successful campaigns finding victory with
strategy and tactics if possible or with ruthless ferocity when
deemed necessary. After squelching a rebellion on his home
planet of Olympia through the use of excessive force and
mindless bloodshed, the Iron Warriors knew they could never
return to the Emperor’s light and rebelled alongside the Alpha
Legion and Night Lords at the Istvaan V massacre.
It was Perturabo that organized the siege of the Emperor’s
palace on Terra. Only Horus’ impatience at the rate of
progress caused the Warmaster to challenge the Emperor, as
Perturabo insisted that the siege was well in-hand. Denied of
his victory by Horus’ death, Perturabo took his Iron Warriors to
Sebastus IV where they designed the perfect trap to foil their
pursuers and to demoralize Rogal Dorn’s Imperial Fists.
Although unable to engineer the death of the loyal Primarch at
the Eternal Fortress, Perturabo was elevated to Daemonhood
through the sacrifice of the gene seed from over four hundred
murdered Space Marines.
Perturabo has taken the fortress-world Medrengard within the
Eye of Terror and rules over it absolutely, paying attention to
the slightest detail, ever watchful for Imperial spies or traitors
within his ranks. He sits on a massive throne, as much
machine as he is daemon, pouring over tactical displays and
reports. His red eyes burn as billions of Obliterator nanites
skitter over his armour, hardening it and preparing his body for
the next inevitable campaign.
