*20 statues of the Primarchs were erected in the [[Imperial Palace]] on Terra. By the time of the Horus Heresy, plinths '''II''' and '''XI''' "[...] had been vacant for a long time. No-one ever spoke of those two absent brothers [and] their separate tragedies."{{Fn|9}}
**This suggests that the two unknown Primarchs had been found previously and that something tragic had happened. The two Primarchs were "absent" but not referred to as "dead".
**It also suggests that the fate of the two were "seperate", ie that it was not the same incident that caused the loss of both but two distinct events.
**Prior to sending [[Sigismund]] and his Imperial Fists to Mars during the Heresy, Dorn mused to [[Malcador (Character)|Malcador]] on the loyalist support of two Legions, possibly the two unknown Legions, during the Heresy. Malcador quelled the Primarch's thoughts, stating that "They are lost to us forever."{{Fn|15}}
*Horus convinced "no less than 9" Space Marine Legions to side with him at the onset of the Heresy,{{Fn|2}} a number also referred to as "fully half" of the Legions.{{Fn|6}} When he assaulted Terra, this number was given as 9.{{Fn|10}}
