Perturabo
Perturabo, “Lord of Iron”, primarch of the Iron Warriors and the greatest siege genius, is a traitor. After Isstvan V he shattered Dorn’s fleet at Phall, was deceived by Fulgrim on Iydris and flung into the Tallarn system, where the largest tank battle in history took place. At the Siege of Terra his Iron Warriors were the first to breach the wall.

Relations
- Rogal Dorn — Perturaboenmity
The Praetorian and the Lord of Iron. Mirror-image geniuses of siegecraft: Dorn builds and holds, Perturabo breaks, and believes he is never thanked. The Siege of Terra is their main contest; Perturabo withdraws without having broken the walls down, and later takes his revenge on Dorn with the Iron Cage.
- Perturabo — Fulgrimbetrayal
The Stolen Ascension. On Iydris Fulgrim by deceit drains Perturabo’s life force in order to become a daemon prince of Slaanesh. Perturabo does not forgive: this is one of the reasons why the Lord of Iron later abandons the Siege — he does not fight for his brothers’ gods.
