Warhammer 40k

Horus Lupercal

Horus Lupercal

Horus Lupercal is one of the 20 genetically engineered sons of the Emperor of Mankind. Scattered shortly after their creation by the Emperor, Horus landed on the mining world of Cthonia. Very shortly after this landing, he was discovered by the Emperor and made the leader of the Luna Wolves Legion. Horus served as the Warmaster of the Imperium, shortly before his fall to Chaos and betrayal. In the pivotal battle, Horus severely injured the Emperor to the point he had to be put on the Golden Throne, but in turn was completely erased by the Emperor.
