'''Vulkan''' was one of the twenty [[Primarch]]s created by the [[Emperor of Mankind]] to lead his [[Great Crusade]] and reunite the scattered peoples of humanity. His [[Space Marine Legion]] was re-named the [[Salamanders]] in his honour. As with all the Primarchs, Vulkan inherited an aspect of his father. However for him this was the unique ability of being a [[perpetual]], making him essentially immortal. Vulkan was able to regenerate fully from any injury, including a death that would vaporize him completely. This ability was unknown to him until the [[Horus Heresy]], and during the [[Great Crusade]] he gained a reputation for his empathy towards average [[human]]s as well as his craftsmanship abilities.{{Fn|4}}
