Lorgar Aurelian
Lorgar Aurelian, “Urizen”, primarch of the Word Bearers, was the first primarch to fall to Chaos and the true architect of the Heresy. Humiliated by the Emperor over Monarchia, he discovered the gods of Chaos and through Erebus corrupted Horus on Davin. In the Shadow Crusade he butchered the worlds of Ultramar for the sake of the Ruinstorm and raised Angron to be a daemon of Khorne.

- Roboute Guilliman — Lorgar Aurelianrivalry
Ultramar against Colchis. It was the Ultramarines who, on the Emperor’s orders, wiped out Monarchia. Calth and the Shadow Crusade are Lorgar’s answer 43 years later: not mere revenge but the ritual destruction of a brother’s empire and the birth of the Ruinstorm.
- Angron — Lorgar Aurelianalliance
The Red Angel and the Aurelian. Lorgar is the only brother who treats Angron as a man and not as a weapon. They wage the Shadow Crusade together; on Nuceria Lorgar “saves” Angron by raising him up to Khorne — a gift Angron did not ask for.
- Horus Lupercal — Lorgar Aurelianmentorship
The Instrument and the Priest. Lorgar believes he is making Horus a god; Horus uses the faith of the Word Bearers as the infrastructure of treason (the lodges, Davin, Calth). Before the Siege Horus banishes Lorgar for playing his own game — the priest proves too dangerous even for the Warmaster.
