'''Mortarion''' (also known as the '''Death Lord''', '''The Pale King'''{{Fn|21}}, or the '''Reaper of Men'''{{Fn|17a}}) was one of the original twenty [[Primarch]]s. He was given command of the [[Death Guard]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] on the arrival of the [[Emperor]] to his world of [[Barbarus]] but turned to the forces of [[Chaos]] during the [[Horus Heresy]].
