Vulkan

One of the 20 Primarchs created by the Emperor, and the 18 subsequently found, Vulkan arrived on the planet Nocturne during the Time of Trial as an infant, and was soon taken in by the blacksmith, N'bel. The people of his home town were astounded by this child, for within the space of three years, he was stronger and bigger than any man in his town. In addition to his massive physical size, he was the quickest mind, and the greatest blacksmith anyone knew of. Indeed, it was not long before Vulkan himself was teaching forging techniques to the people that had not yet been discovered.

The people of Nocturne were frequently raided by Dark Eldar. So used to this common occurance, that each person in town had developed their own hiding place to avoid capture. When the Dark Eldar raided again in Vulkan's fourth year on Nocturne, the Primarch refused to hide and instead stood out in the center of the settlement, his two smithing hammers crossed over his shoulders. The people of Vulkan's town were so inspired by his example that they joined him and prepared to defend their town. With a primarch leading the defense, the people of the the town decisively defeated the Dark Eldar.
