Editing Black Legion (section)

==Notable members==
* [[Horus]]: The Warmaster, the Breaker of Tyrants, the Favoured Son, the Eye of Terra, and the reason the Imperium can no longer have nice things. He was the <s>first</s> second primarch found (if [[Alpharius]] is to be believed), and quickly became [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Daddy's]] favorite warlord. Under his leadership, the Luna Wolves tallied a record of compliances and victories that was second to none, which made him the obvious choice to take over the [[Great Crusade]] when the Emperor returned to Terra to work on his super-secret Webway project. This caused a great deal of insecurity in Horus, who believed that A. Sanguinius would have been a better choice for Warmaster and B. that the Emperor clearly didn't trust or love him enough because he hadn't told Horus why he was leaving. This, combined with his desire for everlasting glory and his ingrained attitude that he was better than baseline humanity, was the lever [[Erebus]] used to manipulate Horus into turning on the Emperor, falling to Chaos, and starting the galactic clusterfuck known as the [[Horus Heresy]]. Though his intentions were good, Chaotic corruption turned him into a frothing lunatic whose mind and body were literally disintegrating by the end of the Heresy, due to the Chaos gods mainlining him with warp juice. He was permakilled by the Emperor in an epic and manly duel aboard the ''Vengeful Spirit'' at the climax of the Siege of Terra; Horus mortally wounded his father, but the Emperor rallied long enough to mortally injure him in turn and then obliterate his soul with a psychic attack so that the gods couldn't resurrect him. This didn't stop [[Fabius Bile|Fabulous Bill]] from cloning him back to life, though Abaddon murdered the clone as part of his ascension to Warmaster.
* [[Maloghurst]]: Equerry to the Warmaster during the latter stages of the Great Crusade and most of the Horus Heresy. He was known as the Twisted, initially because of his talent for politics and scheming nature, though the nickname became literal when he was shot down by noncompliant douchebags during the Sixty-Three Nineteen campaign and permanently crippled. Despite this, he people to keep calling him "The Twisted" because he thought it was funny. Maloghurst happily followed his gene-father right over the edge during the Heresy and became his enforcer and internal affairs guy, learning how to do sorcery along the way. Sacrificed his life to kill an uncorrupted shard of Horus' soul that had been severed during his fight with Leman Russ at Trisolian. While becoming senile due to Warp corruption, Horus kept calling for him during the Siege of Terra.
* [[Abaddon|Abaddon the Despoiler]]: Also known as Failbaddon the Armless. First Captain of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus and Full Moon of the Mournival during the latter stages of the Great Crusade and the entirety of the Horus Heresy, later the chosen Warmaster of Chaos after Horus' death. He was a Cthonian gangbanger who never evolved out of his brutal, might-makes-right mindset, which meant that he was fully onboard when Horus decided to kick the Emperor in the balls and take over. As the Heresy wore on, though, he became increasingly disillusioned with his gene-father, especially when Horus went full-tilt into Chaos worship, and grew to despise him for his corruption. He seized control of the remaining Sons of Horus during the Legion Wars and renamed them the Black Legion, repudiating Horus as a weak fool. Has been on the rampage for the last ten thousand years, waging the Long War against the Imperium with varying levels of success. As of 8th edition, finally got his shit together and conquered Cadia, triggering the formation of the Great Rift, though now he has a resurrected Roboute Guilliman to deal with.
* [[Tarik Torgaddon]]: Second Captain of the Luna Wolves, Gibbous Moon of the Mournival, and one of the XVI Legion's most bro-tier Astartes. He had a weird sense of humor and liked to mess with his friends for the lulz, making him one of the more relatable Astartes characters ever put on paper. Told Eidolon to shut the fuck up at one point and also backtalked Horus once or twice. He was a member of the warrior lodges and even tried to convince Loken to join, but quit when the rest of the lodge proposed making Loken the fall guy for the Luna Wolves killing a bunch of civilians in the aftermath of Horus' incapacitation at Davin. He was sent down to die at Istvaan III, but survived nearly the entire battle until Little Horus killed him in a duel. His gene-seed was stolen and used as part of the ritual to summon the Ruinstorm at [[Battle of Calth|Calth]], creating a daemon called Tormageddon. His soul remained free and appeared to Loken while he was recuperating on Luna, eventually convincing his friend to rejoin the war. Loken ultimately killed Tormageddon at the Siege of Terra.
* [[Hastur Sejanus]]: Fourth Captain of the Luna Wolves and Garviel Loken's predecessor as the New Moon of the Mournival during the Great Crusade. Was one of the most bro-tier members of the legion and a particular favorite of Horus, who valued his combat prowess, diplomatic skills, and even-handed mindset. He was killed by some pissant claiming to be the Emperor of Mankind during the Sixty-Three Nineteen campaign, which enraged Horus to no end and was probably one of the first triggers for his falling to Chaos. Erebus used an illusion of Sejanus to manipulate Horus while he was in a coma on Davin. Is probably named after a Lovecraftian demigod and a famous Roman general who commanded Emperor Tiberius' Praetorian Guard.
* [[Horus Aximand]]: AKA Little Horus. Fifth Captain of the Legion and Half Moon of the Mournival during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. He was a wise and level-headed Astartes, despite his melancholic disposition. Despite his loyalty to the Emperor, he was corrupted by the warrior lodges and followed his primarch into heresy. He killed Tarik Torgaddon and saw Abaddon (apparently) kill Loken at Istvaan III. This gave him the closest thing to PTSD a Space Marine could experience, and he suffered from hallucinations and feelings of guilt thereafter. Got his face sliced right the fuck off by Hibou Khan of the White Scars and later had it reattached, making him look more like Horus in the process. Died at the Siege of Terra when Abaddon's gambit at the Saturnine Wall went horribly wrong; Loken found him terrorizing Arkhan Land and Little Horus had a nervous breakdown upon seeing a man he thought was dead. Loken gutted him with a chainsword after telling him he'd always been "the wrong Horus" and [[Blood Ravens|took his relic power blade, ''Mourn-It-All'']].
* [[Knights-Errant#Garviel_Loken|Garviel Loken]]: Tenth Captain of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus, the last New Moon of the Mournival, and one of the most bro-tier Astartes in the legion after Sejanus and Tarik Torgaddon. He ascended to the Mournival after Sejanus was killed and was told by Rogal Dorn to serve as Horus' "naysmith", basically the guy who tries to keep his commander's head out of the clouds. Sadly, this ended with Loken being alienated from the legion as Horus led them slowly into turning against the Emperor. Survived the virus bombing of Istvaan III and the firestorm thereafter and led the loyalist Luna Wolves in fighting their backstabbing brothers. He managed to survive an ass-kicking from Abaddon and the final bombardment of the planet, but went a ''little'' crazy afterward, roaming the ruins and killing zombies while calling himself Cerberus. He didn't snap out of it until Nathaniel Garro came and picked him up. He spent a little while on Luna feeling sorry for himself until Torgaddon's spirit came along and gave him a kick in the butt. Became a Knight-Errant after this, fighting for Malcador throughout the Heresy, and got to tell Horus personally to fuck off when Horus tried to get him to rejoin the legion at Molech. Was slated to become one of the first [[Grey Knights]], confirming that he was a latent psyker, but turned the job down because he wanted another shot at Horus. During the Siege of Terra, he led a kill team during the battle for the Saturnine Wall and personally killed Tybalt Marr, Tormageddon, and Little Horus.
* Tybalt Marr: Eighteenth Captain of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus. He and his best friend, Nineteenth Captain Verulam Moy, were referred to as the Either and the Or, since they looked and thought so much alike that they were basically twins. Moy was killed during the clusterfuck on Davin, which broke Marr to the point where he joined the warrior lodges and fell to Chaos along with his legion. He defeated Shadrak Meduson in battle some time after the [[Drop Site Massacre]] and convinced Horus to put in him charge of a task force to hunt down and wipe out the Shattered Legions. He and Meduson played a brutal game of cat-and-mouse for the rest of the Heresy until Meduson's fellow Iron Fathers hung him out to dry at the Aragna Chain, whereupon Marr captured and executed him. Marr was killed at the Siege of Terra when the Saturnine gambit failed and he got ambushed by Loken's kill team. Marr was stunned to see Loken alive, having believed him killed at Istvaan III; in turn, Loken shoved a bolter in his mouth and blew his head off.
* Falkus Kibre: AKA the Widowmaker, leader of the [[Justaerin]] Terminators during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy under First Captain Abaddon. He happily followed his primarch into rebellion against the Emperor and served as his personal escort during the [[Drop Site Massacre]]. Joined the reformed Mournival alongside Tormageddon as the replacements for Loken and Torgaddon. By the time of the Siege of Terra, he was little more than Horus' attack dog. He tried to intervene when Maloghurst did some sorcery to bring Horus out of his post-Trisolian coma, only for Horus to grab him by the neck until he chilled out. Accounts of his fate diverge at the Siege of Terra; ''Saturnine'' says he was killed by Nathaniel Garro, whereas other fluff portrays him as still being alive during the [[Legion Wars]] and serving as the leader of the Bringers of Despair ten millennia later.
* [[Araghast the Pillager]]: Chaos Lord and Khornate champion of the Black Legion who tore shit up in ''Dawn of War''. Claimed to have conquered a thousand worlds and liked trolling the Blood Ravens. Got SINDRIIIIIIII'd by Eliphas and left to die at the hands of [[Blood Ravens Force Commander|Force Commander Hairgel]] and his Blood Ravens. Also rocked a bitchin' helmet that made him look like a [[Warriors of Chaos|Norscan who got lost in the warp]].
* [[Eliphas]]: Formerly a Word Bearer who was punished with a thousand years of damnation for losing to some Ultramarines during the Heresy, he emerged as a Chaos Lord in charge of a kickass warband. His fortunes waxed and waned throughout the ''Dawn of War'' series, going from a Chaos Lord of the Word Bearers to a mere champion of the Black Legion after he fucked up on Kronus and got popped like a blood blister. Most fans still think he's cooler than Abaddon, though.
* [[Ygethmor|Ygethmor the Deceiver]]: Chaos Sorceror and one of Abaddon's Chosen. Was in charge of the Chaos forces during the 2006 Medusa V global campaign. His stated goal was to [[Cultist-Chan|capture the planet for Chaos]], while his secret goal was to become a [[Daemon Prince]]. He accomplished neither; his forces got booted off the planet and he was decapitated by an [[Autarch]] (although she died in the next assault phase). Iskandar Khayon claims that "Ygethmor" is a title meaning "threader of the Warp" in Cthonian and that there have been multiple Ygethmors, though who knows if that sneaky bastard is telling the truth.
* [[Neroth]]: Sorcerer of the Black Legion who spends most of the Retribution campaign keeping an eye on Eliphas on Abaddon's behalf. Likes setting shit on fire and trolling people for the lulz.
* [[Haarken Worldclaimer]]: Herald of the Apocalypse and Proclamator of Abaddon's Reign. He is a Chaos Raptor who is probably an ex-Night Lord and is basically Abaddon's hype-man, since his job is to show up at a planet and tell everyone there that the Despoiler is coming to wreck their shit. Failed hilariously in this goal at [[Vigilus]], but is still tearing around the Nachmund Gauntlet and raising hell.
* [[Iskandar Khayon]]: Former Thousand Son who decided his legion was lame now that [[Rubric Marines|everyone was dust-bots]] and joined Abaddon's new boy band instead. [[What|Claims to have kicked Magnus' ass personally to make him bitch down to the Warmaster]]. [[Mary Sue|Has a big tiddy goth Dark Eldar gf, a bitchin' sword made out of shards of Sanguinius' own weapon, and a Yugioh deck of bound daemons he can summon and dismiss whenever he wants]]. He let himself get captured by the Inquisition so that he could tell them the Long War was coming to an end.
* [[Lheorvine Ukris]]: Former World Eater and snarky mofo who somehow managed to keep his shit together despite being a World Eater and ultimately joined the Black Legion after stomping Emperor's Children asses on Harmony. Got his shit kicked in by some Blood Angels on Mackan during the 7th Black Crusade.
