Their homeworlds and their infancy would influence and mould them to a large extent. There they quickly grew to adulthood and often rose to power, ruling, leading, and helping the inhabitants. As the Emperor found them, he was generaly pleased by their actions, and quickly gave them the leadership of their respective legion.
The first Primarch to be found was ''Horus'', who became the Emperor's favourite. Most Primarchs somehow recognized the Emperor on sight, and immediatly pledged their alliegiance on the spot. Others (Leman Russ, Ferrus, Manus and Manus Vulkan) only followed Him after being bested in contests. ''Angron'' refused, and was basicly kidnapped, and he never accepted the Emperor's action. The last to be found was ''Alpharius''.
At the end of the [[Great Crusade]] Warmaster Horus fell to Chaos, and eight of his fellow Primarchs followed him into the [[Horus Heresy]] against the Emperor, resulting in a full-scale civil war. Each Primarch chose his side, loyalists against traitors, leading their legions against their former comrades.
