Their homeworlds The new homewolds of the foundling Primarchs 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 generally pleased by their actions, and quickly gave them the leadership of their respective legion.
→Creation of the Primarchs
==Creation of the Primarchs==
They were created in a secret underground laboratory on [[Luna]] under the tightest security. However, the forces of [[Chaos]] somehow managed to spirit them away just prior to their maturation and it is speculated that they also managed to tamper with the infant Primarchs. These were scattered across the galaxy, beyond the Emperor's reach, and all of them landed on different worlds. The Emperor could sense that the infant Primarchs were alive, but was unable to reach them. Therefore he used their previously collected DNA samples to create the [[Space Marine]]s. The genetic material of each one of them the Primarchs was used to found a single [[Space Marine Legion]], twenty in total.
The first Primarch to be found was '''Horus''', who became the Emperor's favourite. Most Primarchs somehow recognized the Emperor on sight, and immediately pledged their allegiance on the spot. A few, (Leman Russ, Ferrus Manus and Vulkan) only followed Him after being bested in contests. '''Angron''' refused, and was abducted from his homeworld, something he never really accepted. The last to be found was '''Alpharius'''.
