→List of Primarchs
*{{Endn|Note 1}}: While the official Primarch rediscovery order does not distinguish between the Second and Eleventh Primarchs, the novel [[Fulgrim: The Palatine Phoenix (Novel)|Fulgrim: The Palatine Phoenix]] confirms that the Second was one of the first eight Primarchs rediscovered.{{Fn|41}}
*{{Endn|Note 2}}: Officially, Horus was the first Primarch rediscovered and Alpharius the last. According to Alpharius's own account, however, he was in fact the first Primarch recovered by the Emperor and Horus the second, with Alpharius's existence being kept secret until his twin Omegon - the last undiscovered Primarch - revealed himself (as 'Alpharius') to Horus and the Imperium.{{Fn|40}}
*The following are not Primarchs and hence are not in this list, although they are ''thematically'' similar and predate any Space Marines coming into existence:
**[[The Angel]], a humanoid bioweapon developed to destroy the [[Emperor]]'s enemies.
**[[Arik Taranis]], one of the first and last [[Thunder Warrior]]s.
**[[Constantin Valdor]], the first [[Custodian]].
