**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}}
→Overview
**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 was "seperate", ie that it was not the same event that caused the loss of both but two distinct incidents.
*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}}
**This also implies, but does not categorically state, that the 9 known Traitor Legions are all of the Legions that followed him into rebellion and that 18 Legions were the total number of Legions active at the time. A passage detailing Horus's plans for the various Legions at the outset of the Heresy mentions by name all 18 known Legions{{Fn|11}}.
