→Character: More Aurelian (Novel)
Even after suffering the worst effects of the Word Bearers' treason, Guilliman said he felt his brother's pain, felt that Lorgar had been manipulated by forces beyond his control and was agonized at what these forces had pushed him to do.{{Fn|7c}} However after the [[Drop Site Massacre]] and his duel with [[Corax]], it was said by those around him ([[Magnus]]{{Fn|10a}}, [[Horus]]{{Fn|10b}}, and [[Guilliman]]{{Fn|10c}}) that Lorgar had changed and became a different person. Dubbing himself the "Minister of Chaos Absolute", he became more accepting of war and violence, developed grand schemes and manipulations, enhanced his combat prowess, and his mastery of the [[Warp]] rapidly outpaced that of [[Erebus]] and [[Kor Phaeron]] who began to realize they could no longer control him.{{Fn|10a}}
Lorgar himself was bitter over his existence as a soldier bred for nothing but war. Wanting to understand the greater nature of the universe and build a society to venerate these universal truths, Lorgar never mastered the arts of tactics and combat like his other brothers and looked down upon acts of conquest. Because of this, he often found solace with [[Magnus the Red]], whose personality and mindset most closely resembled his own.{{Fn|3d}} Much like Magnus, Lorgar quickly developed his psychic potential over the physical. While Lorgar improved his strength from being the weakest Primarch to being able to fight evenly against [[Roboute Guilliman]] by the [[Shadow Crusade]], Lorgar's psychic talents were his most potent asset. By the fighting in [[Ultramar]], he was capable of vaporizing several [[Space Marines]] with a mere glance.{{Fn|10}}
[[Magnus]] once critizied Lorgar for beeing "selfless" and the chaos emissary said he was choosen by the Chaos gods because of this traits. {{Fn|10}} While many allied with the Chaos gods for power, Lorgar came as an idealist and that was why he was choosen to lead humanity into the embrace of Chaos. {{Fn|10}}
Lorgar thought himself as free of vanity. {{Fn|10}}
=== Martial Strenght ===

When Khorne broke the agreement with the other Chaos powers and sent [[An'ggrath]] to test and kill Lorgar, the Chaos emissary said, that martial power was not the strength of Lorgar and didnt match the martial abilities of Russ, Angron, Johnson, Dorn or Curze. Lorgar struggled in the fight against the mightiest [[Bloodthrister]] but managed to banish him. Lorgar sustained needed to rest after the fight to "stay alive". {{Fn|8}}
[[Kairos]], freed from needing to lie with one head, foretold him, that he could kill [[Guilliman]] on Calth, and the other Primarchs would finally respect his strenght, however the (dark) crusade against the Imperium would be doomed then. Kairos also told him that he couldnt stand in a fight against Corax.{{Fn|8}}
