The Angel
The Angel is a prototype of the Primarchs and could be said to be the Emperor's first son, colloquially called the Proto-Primarch, Primarch Zero, or the Zeroth. In this way, it can be thought of as a precursor to the Primarchs the same way the Thunder Warriors were precursors to the Custodians; psychotic, violent, single-minded and incorruptibly loyal to the Emperor and His cause to a fault.
The Angel was created for the express purpose of purging anything Chaotic in nature, making him the Emperor's personal Doomslayer, and while at first he was controllable, it quickly became a Broly and Paragus type of situation where the Emperor couldn't hold the leash on his personal attack dog any longer. This happened after their first fishing trip together in which they slayed caught and sealed away a Demon Prince known as Pharaa'gueotla. After which, the Proto-Primarch went on a genocide run on a nameless backwater planet because he just had all this pent up energy and nothing left to do with it. This transition from fishing to burning ants with a magnifying glass could possibly be motivated by the fact they didn't just slay Pharaa'gueotla when they had the chance and instead opted for the blue balls option of banishing it to the Shadow Realm for no reason.
Whatever his true motive, the Emperor had to take action and seal the Angel away in a sarcophagus by using the carved-up flesh of the daemon prince they caught together as bait. Apparently, the Angel has such bad tunnel vision that this crap plan actually worked. Then after the Horus Heresy wrapped up, the Inquisition found the Angel's sarcophagus & let him out to fight the same fucking daemon prince he fought back in the pre-Crusade days, only this time he'd kill it and then decide to do the most Inquisitor thing imaginable, exterminate all humanity before anyone else could turn to Chaos. The Inquisitors, being human, came to the unanimous conclusion that they personally quite enjoy living, and decided to bait the Angel back into the coffin using the dead flesh of Pharaa'gueotla again, and it worked, again. See what government bureaucracy can accomplish when everyone's about to die?
The Angel is also proof positive that Sanguinius' angel wings are no accident of mutation from fucking nuclear radiation or the Warp.
Description
The Angel is what a Primarch would look like if the Emperor didn't bother to nerf any of their capabilities or bother to balance their personalities whatsoever, so not only is the Angel fiercely loyal, it's also unstoppable and can't be reasoned with by the average person, let alone the Emperor himself. The Proto-Primarch is described as being twelve feet tall, having angel wings like Sanguinius, and basically looks like an adolescent version of the Emperor, complete with a blue flaming sword to match Emp's regular flaming sword. Since the Angel embodies all the qualities of the other twenty Primarchs, it's implied that this guy was supposed to be the one gene-son of the Emperor to embark on the Great Crusade with him, but there's not much of a point in ruling over ashes when your prodigy purges anything with the slightest chaotic taint. Such taint happens to include all humanity, since all baseline humans have an innate connection to the Warp due to having souls.
Capabilities
Imagine if you took out all the Chaotic corruption from every Primarch and then made them fusion dance together until there was only one left and the Zeroth here is what you'd get. He burns away Chaotic corruption with the literal force of the sun, he holds the Guinness World Record for demolishing cities and armies in the shortest possible time, he wielded a flaming sword just like Emprah and he left a trail of blue fire behind him, which was tremendously inconvenient for everyone involved who wasn't dead, which was nobody. Having a pair of angel wings, he could also fly just like Sanguinius.
So despite being a clear psyker, he's a psyker in the sense that the Emperor is, completely absent of Chaotic taint. Makes you wonder if the Emperor's brand of psyker happens to be something different from the typical psyker the same way Orks generate their own psychic fields.
Personality
The words to sum up his personality are fanatical, puritanical, loyal, vengeful, determined, devoted, tireless, pertinacious, intransigent, uncompromising, resolute, committed, undeviating and all things that would be totally NobleBright if not for being undisciplined, unreasonable, uncontrollable & psychotic. He is both at once the Imperium's greatest asset and it's biggest liability. If he were unleashed onto the battlefield during a Black Crusade, there is no doubt that he, in all of his unwavering devotion and unstoppable power, would undoubtedly shank Failbaddon the Armless in the gut, burn away his flesh in purifying flame and break the daemon sword Drachn'yen over his knee. He would then proceed to kill every other heretic on the battlefield. Then every loyalist Astartes. Then every Guardsman. Then every man, woman and child in the galaxy.
Considering his absolute obsession with expunging all things Chaos, he'd probably make the Sisters of Silence his personal harem, and from there probably start to reconsider his position on humanity's potential for redemption after releasing several millennia of sexual frustration.
It also begs the question of what he'd think of his younger brothers. Naturally, the traitor Primarchs, especially Magnus and Lorger, gotta go. Considering how puritanical he is though, and considering that all 20 Primarchs have already been tainted by the warp to one degree or another, it's probably a full bust with no chances of reconciliation.
He'd probably be chill with the Tau if he hasn't already been given a healthy dose of Xenophobia already, given they practically have no souls to speak of and thus have little to no connection to the Warp.
But more than anything, rest assured he would absolutely hate the Eldar, especially after learning that they single-handedly created their own Chaos God. Not only are they the most prolific psykers in the galaxy, they also have the largest souls of any sentient race, meaning their connection to the Warp is the greatest of all.
Not so clear would be his stance on Tyranids; on the one hand, they're the single most terrifying and threatening foe the Imperium as ever seen and Hive Fleet Leviathan is knocking on Holy Terra's door. On the other hand, the Tyranids have that fancy Shadow in the Warp thing that blots out Chaos energies. On the other hand, they still make use of psykers.
Then there's the question of how he'd respond to seeing his own father interned on the Golden Throne, which considering his bottomless devotion to ol' Emps, would probably send him into an earth-shattering mental breakdown on the spot, causing him to sobbingly vow revenge against whoever did it, only to be enraged at finding out that this "FUCKING HORUS" person is already long dead and gone.
Clearly, the only true course of action is to just drop him into the Eye of Terror and watch as it shrivels away in mere days as he slaughters every Chaos worshiper in that region of realspace. Then drop him off at Commorragh for good measure.
