	'''Kleisthenes''' was the Primarch of the [[Scions of Europa]]. His warlike spirit combined courage with nobility, the essential qualities of a true warrior. Of all the loyalist Primarchs, his memory is the best-loved by the people of the Imperium and countless billions revere Kleisthenes as a saint.

	The Scions of Europa were fortunate enough not to be one of the legions betrayed in the Drop Site massacre, and as such, fought ferociously throughout the rest of the Hektor heresy. Their struggle culminated at the Siege of Terra, where the Scions fought alongside [[the Crusaders]], [[Sand Keepers]], and many others against the Traitor legions. Though [[Thomas Gaudin]] and [[Darius Cyaxares]] were superb warriors and their Legions mighty, the unshakeable resolve of Kleisthenes and his sons was the rock on which the Emperor's defence rested.

	Towards the end of the Siege, as the Loyalists prepared to sell their lives in the defence of the Imperial Palace, Darius Cyaxares came to visit Kleisthenes. Solemnly, the Sand Keeper declared, ''"Today you die, noble Kleisthenes."'' The Emperor's Champion did not wither in the face of fate. Knowing his destiny, Kleisthenes ~~willingly went~~ with his ~~Father~~ to face ~~Hektor Cincinnatus~~ aboard the ''Sun Chariot''. ~~His~~ sacrifice ~~in the battle with Hektor~~ allowed the Emperor to claim at least a pyrrhic victory over Chaos.

Knowing his destiny, Kleisthenes solemnly drew on his mighty armour with the help of his mystic brother. He then went to face the Warmaster aboard the ''Sun Chariot'', and fell in battle. Kleisthenes' sacrifice allowed the Emperor to claim at least a pyrrhic victory over Chaos.

	The Emperor's Champion stood a head taller than a Space Marine and his powerful frame exuded confidence and strength. His looks were stern, but fair enough, framed with a short crop of light-brown hair. Kleisthenes' steely gaze alone could shrink the hearts of the boldest enemies of the Imperium.

His looks were stern, but fair enough, framed with a short crop of light-brown hair. Kleisthenes' steely gaze alone could shrink the hearts of the boldest enemies of the Imperium.

	In recognition of his heroism, the techpriests of Mars forged ~~a great suit of~~ armour for Kleisthenes. Dubbed ''Valour'', the suit is patterned in the color scheme of his legion, polished bronze with gold trim. Its protection is all but unmatched - the Emperor himself, perhaps, dons finer armour. The sword of Kleisthenes was known as ''Dawnbreaker''. It is a hand-and-a-half power sword with a shining adamantine blade and a handguard fashioned in the shape of a bronze eagle. Befitting his status as the Eternal Warrior of the Imperium, Kleisthenes was always ready for battle.

	Later generations would come to see Kleisthenes as a perfected, flawless being. In truth, he was prone to melancholy and intensely disliked long periods of inactivity. During warp voyages, the Primarch would pace the bridge of his flagship, pausing only to review tactical and strategic information that he had already committed to memory. He made few friends among the other Primarchs, though he was scrupulously polite to his brethren.		Later generations would come to see Kleisthenes as a perfected, flawless being.

	The body of Kleisthenes was recovered by [[Thomas Gaudin]] and carried back to Terra along with that of the Emperor. Once the lines of communication back to Europa were cleared, an honour guard of Scions of Europa conveyed their fallen lord back to his homeworld. There his mighty form was put on display that the people of Europa might mourn him. But it was not merely Europans who came to pay their respects to noble Kleisthenes. Travellers from across the Galaxy came to see the great martyr of the Imperium. As centuries went on, the travellers became pilgrims, come to entreat Saint Kleisthenes for a miracle. One hundred centuries on the Primarch still lies in state, his body immaculate from the corruption of decay and marred only by the wound inflicted by his brother Hektor.

	Kleisthenes was granted command of a mighty Legion of Space Marines. The Seventh, imbued with his won gene-seed, already resembled the men he had fought alongside on Europa: laconic, courageous, and dutiful. His presence only heightened these traits among the Legion. Unlike other Primarchs who took some time to assess or reshape their Legion, visit Holy Terra, or deal with administrative concerns, Kleisthenes' only concern was to join his men on the field of battle. Once united with the Seventh, he led his armies with skill, creativity, and bravery. His fulsome dedication to war made Kleisthenes, for a time, the natural choice to handle some of the most difficult campaigns confronting the crusading army.

	His valour and selflessness impressed many of the other Primarchs, especially the foremost of the brotherhood, [[Hektor ~~Conathos~~]]. Kleisthenes played a key role in the great war against the Orks of Ullanor and the Triumph that celebrated that victory. Though he was uncomfortable in that pageant, the Primarch could not have known how soon he would long for the days of triumphs and parades.
