From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
→Horus Heresy
Rumor has it that [[Fulgrim]] approached Ferrus Manus before the heresy and tried to lure him to join Chaos. Ferrus Manus was so enraged at this proposal that he attacked Fulgrim. Fulgrim managed to teleport back to his own [[Battle Barge]] and escape, although barely.
The Iron Hands was one of the loyal legions the Emperor called to [[Isstvan V]]. Given the large distance, Ferrus Manus took the Legion's fastest ships and departed only with his veterans. They were all lost during the battle, when following the loss of their primarch they were struck down by the traitor legions, caught between the hammer of the [[Emperor's Children]] and the Anvil of the four support legions of the second wave.
Some say Ferrus survived Isstvan and now resides on [[Mars]], but the Iron Hands strongly refute this. Other rumors speculate The truth of the matter was that Fulgrim personally killed Ferrus during the battle at [[Isstvan V]], bringing using the chaos infected blade given to him Horus as a pledge of his allegiance to the Heresy. Fulgrim was distraught with grief for the loss of his closest brother, at his own hands, eventually giving into the whispers of Chaos, who spoke promises to ease his pain. Sadly he gave into the request of the Deamon inside the blade, which ripped apart his mind and soul, turning him into the Deamon Prince he is now, and it was this Deamon that brought the mutilated head of Ferrus Manus before Horus.
