→Early Life
According to Horus himself, after his discovery he was brought from Cthonia to Terra alongside several of his elderly comrades from the gang world. He landed upon Terra to much fanfare, kneeling before the Emperor and taking an oath to serve him dutifully.{{Fn|20a}} This account however is sometimes disputed, with others claiming Horus returned to [[Terra]] itself.{{Fn|14}} Because of this early discovery, Horus grew to be the most powerful among the Primarchs as he had grown up from a child to an adult at the side of the Emperor. For a thirty years he was the only Primarch to have been discovered. Friendship between the Emperor and Horus grew rapidly and the Emperor eventually trusted him enough to give him command of the entire force of the Imperium. The Emperor had saved Horus's life at the [[Siege of Reillis]] as they fought back to back. At another battle, Horus repaid this debt when he hacked the arm off a frenzied [[Ork]] as it tried to choke the life out of the Emperor on the planet of [[Gorro]].{{Fn|5}}
The first of his brother Primarch's Horus was reunited with was [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]], who he regretted regarded as a savage and with a degree of hidden jealousy. Despite this, he fervently followed the Emperor's wish to have him get along with Russ and the other Primarchs that will soon be rediscovered.{{Fn|17b}}
