*'''[[Leman Russ]]''' disappeared in the [[Eye of Terror]]. The Space Wolves hold a legend that says Russ went on a quest to find a means to cure the Emperor. His final words before his disappearance is that he would return for the '''Wolftime''' (the final battle). It is also said that Leman Russ led the 13th Company into the Eye of Terror and ordered them to hunt down the [[Traitor Legions]] which had fled to the [[Eye of Terror]], particularly the [[Thousand Sons]].
*'''[[Rogal Dorn]]''' boarded a Chaos cruiser during a Black Crusade alongside a company of his sons and died fighting. He died after many of his loyal brother Primarchs. Today, his hand is housed in the holiest shrine of the Imperial Fists chapter, and his dead body encased in amber and put in Phalanx <sup>11</sup>. Another theory states that he now commands the [[Adeptus Custodes]].
*'''[[Roboute Guilliman]]''' was struck down with an envenomed blade by his former brother Fulgrim. His body is perfectly preserved in a [[stasis field]] at the heart of the '''Temple of Correction'''<sup>3</sup>. It is rumoured that he is alive and that his wounds are slowly healing, something normally impossible in a stasis field. The truth of this rumour is unknownbut this is seen by many (including the Ultramarine captain [[Uriel Ventres]])) as mere optimistic thinking.
*'''[[Vulkan]]''' disappeared. The position of Chapter Master, filled by the Captain of the First Company, is considered to be a regency as the Salamanders believe that Vulkan will one day return and lead them on a great crusade against Chaos.
*'''[[Corax]]''' was racked by guilt and shame. In order to rebuild quickly the strength of his legion from the dropsite massacre on Isstvan V, Corax accelerated the growth of the gene-seed organs, producing more Space Marines, but this process also deteriorated the Gene-seed, causing many to become hulking monsters. Riddled with guilt over what he had done, Corax administered euthanasia to all of them and then locked himself away within his sanctum, the '''Raven's Tower'''. Exactly one year later he left his tower, haggard and gaunt, and took a small shuttle craft with the words ''Never more''. It was last monitored setting a course for the Eye of Terror.
