'''Fulgrim''' (also known as '''the Phoenician''') was one of the twenty [[Primarch|Primarchs]] created by the [[Emperor]] in the earliest days of the [[Imperium]], just after the end of the [[Age of Strife]]. Fulgrim, like the other Primarchs, was sucked from [[Terra]] by the [[Gods of Chaos]] and placed on a faraway world in an attempt to prevent the coming of the [[Age of the Imperium]].

== History ==

=== The Great Crusade ===

It was not long after this that the planet's isolation came to an end. From the grey sky came a flight of dropships, armoured and battle-scarred, each bearing the same symbol, a two-headed eagle. On hearing of this, some fragment of memory stirred in Fulgrim. Chemos had no formal army, but the dropships' landing zone had been surrounded by the Caretakers, the police-soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the factory-fortresses. Fulgrim sent word to the Caretakers to stand down and allow the visitors from above into Callax.

=== Horus Heresy ===

It is now believed that this daemonsword began to exert a strong chaotic influence over Fulgrim, and that the forces he had deployed against the Laer may have become tainted by the [[Chaos]] power [[Slaanesh]]. It is in this parlous spiritual condition that Fulgrim found himself at the centre of the emerging [[Horus Heresy]].¹

=== After the Heresy ===

When Horus was defeated by the Emperor, the Emperor's Children left a trail of depopulated worlds in their wake as they fled towards the [[Eye of Terror]]. As their supply of slaves was exhausted, they resorted to raiding the other Traitor Legions for fresh meat, and in the end were crushed by their angry brethren in a series of bloody wars. Finally, the Emperor's Children were shattered into bands of hedonistic fanatics. Warbands of the Emperor's Children are thankfully rare, for there is no fate worse than falling prisoner to them.

Among his fellow Primarchs, Fulgrim's friendships were deepest with Ferrus Manus and Horus though the former was a stronger bond.²
