Perturabo
One of the twenty Primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind for the Great Crusade, Perturabo and his brothers were scattered to the stars by the forces of Chaos. Landing on Olympia, Perturabo found by the guards of Dammekos, the Tyrant of Olympia, while crawling in the mountains. Recognizing he was no ordinary child, Dammekos took Perturabo in and raised as his own son. While Dammekos gave the boy warmth and affection, Perturabo never returned it. When the Emperor came to Olympia, Perturabo submitted to him and overthrew Dammekos. The fallen Tyrant would try to mount a resistance, but it would fail. Perturabo was given command of the IV Legion of the Adeputs Astartes, the Iron Warriors.
During the Great Crusade, the Iron Warriors became masters of siege warfare, developing a rivalry with Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the ImperialFists, with a similar mastery of sieges. The Iron Warriors were eventually relegated to single squads being expected to keep control of planets with millions of inhabitants. Perturabo resented this, and when Olympia rebelled, the Iron Warriors launched a savage reprisal. Soon called to Isstvan V to deal with the beginning of the HorusHeresy, the Iron Warriors defected to the Chaos Space Marines, and later reveled in destroying the ramparts of the Imperial Palace. After the Horus Heresy, the Iron Warriors defeated the Imperial Fists in the Iron Cage incident, and Perturabo ascended to Daemon Prince, ruling over the Daemon World of Medrengard in the Eye of Terror.
