→Description
Like his brother Primarchs, Vulkan has a characteristic that sets him apart: his patience and humanity. Though possibly gene-bred into his temperament, this was also likely influenced by his upbringing in a small village. He demonstrates this characteristic many times on [[Compliance of Kharaatan|One-Five-Four-Four]]. Vulkan constantly gives commands in the heat of battle that cause the least amount of casualties to the native population against the advise of [[Ferrus Manus]] and even his own men. It is spoken of among his brothers that Vulkan is the most suited to their Father's vision of a peaceful [[Imperium]].{{Fn|3}}
Vulkan was renowned for his craftsmanship and technological prowess, constructing a great many [[Artefacts of Vulkan|artefacts]], some of which he felt were so dangerous that he later ordered them either sealed in the [[Wrought]] or destroyed outright.{{Fn|15}} During the later latter part of the Great Crusade he was also able to recover and revive the previously lost [[Saturnine Pattern Terminator Armour]] and [[Saturnine Dreadnought|Saturnine Pattern Dreadnought Armour]]. Ever the dutiful brother, he then shared the Saturnine designs with the rest of the Space Marine Legions.{{Fn|24}}
Vulkan is the largest and physically strongest of all the primarchs. He is said to be as tall in his power armor as Horus is in his own, much larger [[Terminator armor]], and is capable of overturning Space Marine battle tanks with his bare hands. During sparring matches with his brother Primarchs, Vulkan deliberately held back out of fear of hurting them.{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|8}}
