The '''Primarchs''' were the twenty -one genetically-engineered "sons" of the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]]. The Emperor used his own DNA in their creation, and they were designed to be far superior to the average human: immensely larger, stronger, hardier, faster, and more intelligent. They were also incredibly charismatic, as their main role was to be generals and leaders of the [[Imperium|Imperial]] military.
