I'm assuming most of the people here aren't familiar with 40/30k. For those who are curious what Primarchs are arguably the greatest creations of the Emperor, a superbeing created by several powerful shamans committing mass suicide to shield earth and forge a leader. Supertall, supersdtrong, and almost certainly the powerful psycher (mage, telepath, telekintetic, precog, and more). After humanity was split by hyperspacce/hell storms, civilization splintered, an he stepped out of the shadows to force it all together again.

As ridiculous as that setting is, even he knew he needed help, so for his generals, he didn't recruit, he created. The 20 superbeings he created for the task, the most impressive specimens of "humanity" short of the the emperor Himself, are the Primarchs. They all have unique quirks and specialties, to varying degrees. They were also the source material/templates for the Space marine legions they commanded, with each marine being a weakened echo of their primarch. Also, almost all of them had thoroughly conquered the planets they grew up on (got taken from terra and scattered in the galaxy as infants) age 50, if not 25.

Not done yet, please hang in there, this is a very abridged version of depleted uranium dense lore.

Of those 20, 2 are suspicious unknown (we know their legions' original numerical designations, but those are the only facts), 9 fell to Chaos, with the remaining 9 staying loyal. The resulting civil war was what ended Humanity's restoration, killed two primarchs on each side, started 10k ish years of stagnation at the best of times, established the bulk of Chaos forces, and set up most of the "modern" dynamics.

As for the 18 (and their marines) themselves, in no cohesive order outside of allegaiance

Vulkan: one of the nicest and most concerned with preventing collateral damage and protecting civvies, draconic theme, depiste being nice has strong pyro tendencies, very tech savy, effectively immortal short of magic chicanery

Sanguinius: If big E is god, then this is jesus, angelic hawk wings that work, possibly nicer and gentler than even Vulkan, sacrificed himself for the empire, has a winter holiday for his death (Sanguinala), despite being so nice his sons (his marines, they undergo extensive genetic rewrites in creation, also 10-16 tops when recruited) have two separate intense bloodlust conditions (red thirst and black rage) the second being a psychic backlash from his death, which he did try to hide

Rogal Dorn: stubborn, likes fortifications, siege expert on both sides, but seems to prefer using forts to breaking htem

Leman Russ: VIKING CHIEF IN SPACE, also raised by super wolves, his marines can degenerate into borderline werewolves with some retaining humanity, independent but loyal

Jagatai: GENGHIS KHAN IN SPACE, that's pretty much it aside from him upgrading from horses to bikes for hit and run when daddy picked him up

Corvus Corvax (really):

traitors

Magnus, Egyptian theme, the most active among his brothers in utilizing pyschic potential and powers, despite the inherent genetic instability of his sons and his magic pact with... somthing (possibly Tzeentch, one of the big 4 chaos gods) to correct the instability he was one of the hardest to turn, it took his brother Leman leading the Space Wolves to destroy the people of Prospero ( the planet where Magnus landed) for Magnus to turn

Horus, the one big E trusted to lead when dad (big E) holed up in the palace for projects he didn't share with his sons, very charismatic, excellent generalist, things went wrong for him after he was resurrected after being stabbed with a magic knife in an insanely lengthy plot I don't have time for

Lorgar, preacher/cult leader, F-ck lorgar

Okay, Sentry needs a break, will update later.
