Uriel Joaquin César Vaquero y Delgado de Salazar Bakaran, more commonly known as Uriel Salazar was the Primarch of the The_Justicars, the 13th legion of the Legiones_Astartes_(Hektor_Heresy). Uriel lead the 13th to a multitude of great victories, many unsung, and kept a watchful eye over the Imperium and it's citizens. Ultimately, he would fall to Tzeentch and become a Daemon Prince.

Personality

Uriel was driven by a singular belief in justice, and doing the right thing. In his youth, Uriel was idealistic and hopeful, but since then he seems to have had little left in him save a dark, witty sense of humour, and an incredibly jaded cynicism. Uriel tends to brush over pleasantries and small talk in favour of cutting to the heart of a matter. This has alienated more than a powerful individuals, including some of the Primarchs. Though usually quiet, his manner of speaking when he does is peculiarly plain in language, direct, and baritone, but accentuated with pop-culture metaphors, snide, sarcastic remarks, and references to esoteric lore.

Being betrayed by his adoptive family seeded within Uriel a pathological distrust of authority. His passion for justice would evolve with said distrust into a fierce ideology espousing the vigilante spirit; none would stand in the way of justice, and none would be above it. Uriel was however, tempered by a thoughtful, humble, and highly observant nature. Very well-read, his knowledge of risk analysis, psychology, and deductive and inductive reasoning were second to none, but it was his dogged determination and incredible eye for detail that made him dangerous. That, and his penchant for powerful slug throwing pistols, and the unmatched speed and accuracy with which he could wield them.

Despite all of this Uriel wasn't taken very seriously by many of his peers; he was somewhat contrarian, prone to wistful melancholy, and seemed incorrectly, to be paranoid and obsessive to his brothers. Those who listened and checked facts for themselves however, would find that Uriel was almost always correct, and would pay closer attention to him more in future. Those who bothered to do such though were few, and Uriel was oft overlooked. His popularity was mainly with the civilians and soldiers of the Imperium; despite his brutal methods, Uriel made life better for them all, and his strict but protective paternal leadership engendered multitudes to him, often resulting in cults of personality on worlds he had conquered.

Wargear

slug throwing revolvers. Curved cavalry sabre and or 2 daggers. Shotgun to end all shotguns. Probably the 2 daggers as no primarch is a knife fighter, and why fight with sword when you can shoot?
