Editing Primarch (section)

===The '''FUCKING CUNTS'''===
## '''Mortarion''' - Described by Alpharius as being "bleakness personified", Mortarion rubbed virtually everyone the wrong way and gave precisely zero shits about it. He seemingly got along with a grand total of three people; Horus, because it was almost impossible ''not'' to like him, Konrad Curze, because he too had a garbage tier childhood, and Eidolon, because he told Eidolon he intended to work with him instead of lord over him (a statement that shocked Eidolon into silence, after the treatment he'd received from Fulgrim). Still happened though. Terse, grim and blunt, he was downright bigoted against psykers, and resented (or at the very least looked down upon) nearly everyone who he felt had it easier than him. He was also notorious for using chemical and radiological terror weapons and generally not giving a fuck about who got killed by them. In fairness to him however, he and his legion were usually (though not exclusively) deployed to environments so awful that such weapons typically didn't make things much worse. Also his opponents were usually xenos due both to them typically being the only ones who could survive on the planets he got sent to, and the fact that he really liked killing them. He also was at least somewhat justified in his hatred of psykers, as his necromancer foster father and his fellow overlords had all been psykers, and had been horrific in their subjugation of Barbarus's human population. Had he not turned Traitor, he likely would have been somewhere near Lion El'Jonson in terms of overall dickishness; a spiteful lone wolf type who had a habit of nursing grudges, gave very few shits about who or what his legion killed, went primarily on extermination campaigns, and was generally disliked by everyone for being an ass. Over time, he became more and more disgusted with people's acceptance of [[Emperor|tyrants]] and [[Magnus the Red|psykers]], and became much more likely to kill everything in the vicinity of what he considered evil. Over time he also lost what little tolerance he had ever possessed for weak mortals, and decided that the Imperium was being crafted in such a way as to coddle the weak. Not good as far as he was concerned. Interestingly he did care deeply for his own people, which is why he was so driven to take down both monsters and tyrants after witnessing how his foster father oppressed the populace, though he didn't exactly do much, if anything, to show it. Then [[Nurgle]] made him his plague-ridden bitch and Jaghatai fucked him up and humiliated him in the Siege of Terra, at which point he decided to just take his bitterness out on everyone lacking the Plaguefather's "gifts".
## '''Angron''' - Loved killing people and not much else. Most of the casualties within his legion were a result of him being a team-killing psycho because quite frankly he didn't care what he got to kill as long as he got to kill it. That said, Angron at least had an excuse for being such a rampaging dick all the time. The Butcher's Nails had effectively turned him from being a genuinely nice fellow who could empathically relieve the suffering of others by taking it into himself into a half-mindless killing machine, as it actually has not just remapped but ''replaced'' parts of his brain, effectively removing from him any emotions other than pain, hatred, and battle-lust while also destroying his capacity for empathy and compassion, which arguably means he doesn't even have any Moral Agency (that's Philosopher-speak for saying that he can't be held ethically accountable for his actions any more than a toaster can for burning your fingers). One may wonder what sort of guy he would have been without the implants, presumably he'd be more like his pre-retcon White Dwarf version where he was an honourable warrior whose martial valour ended up leading him down Khorne's path (this was very quickly retconned with the Black Library novels). But he stick to his guns despite the suffering. On top of that, he got fucked over pretty hard by Big E when they first met, so it's no wonder he went traitor the moment Horus made him an offer, we may even credit him for enduring years fighting for the Imperium instead of just getting himself killed in any of the battles as he himself personally wanted. At the end of the day, Angron was probably the Primarch who gave the fewest fucks about his legion and was content to let it run itself without his leadership, although he never really wanted one to begin with. As a result, many of the saner parts of his legion ''loathed'' him, to say nothing about his general reputation (Istvaan III wasn't the first time...). The action that places him so low on this list is the fact that he allowed the spread of Butcher's Nails throughout his Legion, despite his own hatred of the damn things and the fact they cause him so many issues, not least going psycho rage-monster most of the time; which is a pretty fucked up thing for him to condone. Then again, many of his sons accepted the mini-Nails to get closer to their Primarch, psykers, however, died horribly, not that Angron gave a shit. Perhaps he allowed it because seeing his sons with Butcher's Nails reminded him of his fallen gladiator brothers and sisters on Nuceria, but then again he blew up the planet along with all of the people he once fought to liberate just because they were bad-mouthing him. He really wasn't all that great of a guy even during his moments of lucidity, and he was one the few Primarchs to willingly kill his own men during the Great Crusade, an act even ''Horus'' thought was unthinkable.
## '''Konrad Curze''' - Arguably the most sadistic of all primarchs, Konrad really got off to torturing people and manipulating the masses through fear. What started as a quest to use fear to save lives in compliance actions turned through time and circumstance to a simple desire to torture and maim, and his wish to protect the innocent was smothered by his urge to punish the guilty. The man who was supposed to be the ultimate harbinger of justice ended up as an unholy combination of Batman and Joker. By the time the Heresy broke out, any ideas of mercy or decency he may have harbored had long ago been buried under a massive pile of flayed guts. Somewhat like Angron however, the Night Haunter's actions are mitigated somewhat by the fact that the guy practically redefined crazy. His upbringing had much to do with shaping his awful view of reality, but what really screwed him over were his visions. He saw the future in psychic visions constantly, but the futures he saw were always permutations of the absolute worst outcome to any given situation, and he couldn't do anything to stop them. These visions came with severe psychic fits during which Curze would violently spaz out. They became worse and worse as time went on, and the psychological and psychic stress of them reduced Curze from a Punisher-esque individual to a completely sadistic screwball who would build stuff out of corpses and then sincerely thank those corpses. He also suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder, with the Konrad Curze and Night Haunter personas constantly warring for supremacy within his mind. Needless to say, the Night Haunter ultimately won out. He did admit that what he had done was wrong, but instead of trying to atone for his atrocities, he used the excuse that the future was set in stone (which he mostly believed) to justify just going along with the horrors he saw in his visions. In fact, the only two things that genuinely seemed to scare him were the possibilities that the Emperor '''wouldn't''' order his death -- or even worse, be forgiven for his behavior ''(and render his entire outlook on life meaningless)''. The fact that he refused to turn back to heroism at so many opportunities because he felt himself a puppet of fate makes him contemptible and pathetic.
## '''Perturabo''' - Despite inconsistent characterization via 'too many cooks in the kitchen' syndrome, the overall picture of Perturabo that emerged over the years is far from pretty. He's a cold, ruthless monster with a massive martyr complex and [[Pun|siege mentality]]. He started off well enough by saving a local boy from being monster-chow, only for it all to go downhill rapidly. In his youth he was aloof and arrogant, leading to his bitchfit after losing to his adoptive brother in a sculpting competition. Pert's adoptive dad spurned his architectural ideas to milk his worth as a general, but Dammekos' family still did all they could to raise their adoptive son and give him a good life in space ancient Greece. Perty also never used his massive power to try and realize said dreams on Olympia, even after conquering it (pay attention to this). He'd later meet his Legion, and one of his very first acts was making his sons murder 1/10 of their own for not being good enough. He'd create the worst situations, tackle them in the worst way, and constantly whine about his struggles. Then he'd have the audacity to expect accolades after solving the problems he'd manufactured, and getting pissed when it never came. This gets worse when one sees that Russ, Mortarion, and The Lion got similarly horrendous tasks but never sulked about it or committed self-sabotage in the hopes of eventual praise. The mindset that would forge such a monster showed in his actions. Despite seeing Magnus as a beloved brother, he'd make him a warp sextant and then smash it right in front of him to 'teach Magnus a lesson'. His legion became known as the 'Corpse Grinders' for using Imperial Army units as cannon fodder, so much so that future armies revolted upon assignment to the IW. Horus had to step in and ensure all future mortal troops were penal legionnaires only. Like on Olympia, he longed for pursuits outside of bloodbath-attrition wars and then did nothing to pursue them. He had the nerve to call Corax a coward for not wanting to have his sons adopt the same retarded strategy as him at Gate 44. His petty 'woe is me' attitude caused the infamous rift with Dorn. Pert destroyed a painting commissioned for his legion after misinterpreting it. He killed the officer who broke the news of Olympia's rebellion. These are the highlights, but the mundane reality of how he had absolutely no regard whatsoever for human life despite occasionally paying lip service to the idea is truly telling. One Great Crusade later, and Pert would finally snap when a revolt on Olympia drove him to decimate his home and kill his truth-bomb dropping adoptive sister. With a little nudge from Horus, Perty joined the traitors. What makes all of this so fucked is that he had no excuse for any of it at any point. He was never a [[Angron|lobotomized murder machine]], [[Konrad Curze|driven into bat-shit insane misanthropy after living in 40K Gotham]], or [[Mortarion| raised on a toxic hellhole by psychic alien tyrants]]. He had a loving family almost on par with Guilliman, meaning he clearly knew right from wrong. And when he turned traitor, he did so out of bitterness and spite. Perturabo's defining legacy at this point is a legion that's been turned into a mirror image of himself and one of 40K's [[Honsou|most evil fuckers ever]], on par with the Night Lords, Word Bearers, and Emperor's Children. The atrocities under Pert's command come from his twisted calculus that it was the most efficient path to victory. He is a logistical and strategic genius, but rather than use said talents to ensure [[Roboute Guilliman|the prosperity of others on a large scale]], he dedicated them towards the perpetuation of a self-destructive meat grinder of his own making, and aiding the [[Horus Heresy|greatest betrayal of mankind in its history]]. The idea that Perty might be a turbo-autist or was messed up by his awareness of the Eye of Terror just doesn't cut it as a justification. Perturabo fully earns Abbadon's title '''"The Lord of Shit'''".
