	Merrill is ruthless, cunning, and values efficiency above all. To waste anything is a cardinal sin to him. Almost anything around him are tools to be used, and he uses them until they no longer serve a purpose. Though he does not view the world with such labels as "good," and "evil," he understands that some actions will result in the greater benefit, whereas others will be a detriment to all. That being said, he does actively work towards the benefit of all, but it is definitely HIS version of that idea, which can put him at odds with many of his brothers and often members of the Imperium and nobility.		Merrill is ruthless, cunning, and values efficiency above all. To waste anything is a cardinal sin to him. Almost anything around him are tools to be used, and he uses them until they no longer serve a purpose. Though he does not view the world with such labels as "good," and "evil," he understands that some actions will result in the greater benefit, whereas others will be a detriment to all. That being said, he does actively work towards the benefit of all, but it is definitely HIS version of that idea, which can put him at odds with many of his brothers and often members of the Imperium and nobility.

	While not a braggart, he was extremely ~~arrogan~~, believing himself to be the smartest, fastest, or best fighter in the room at all times- If not all three. He is well aware of his own weaknesses, but he overestimates his strengths constantly, which leads to a borderline narcissistic sense of self worth. This trait is often materialized most in his ideas of leadership. He would take time planning with his men and leave them to pursue his own battlefield goals. To say that he trusted his commanders to perform well would be an overstatement. The process and requirements to command a contingent of Iron Rangers required an individual who thoroughly understood strategy and tactics, and would be able to adapt efficiently and expertly to a changing battlefield.

	Merrill has been known to make the occasional impassioned speech or long discussion, but those are few and far between, and only when he deems them necessary. He says what needs to be said, usually being as sparse and direct with words as possible. He does not bandy with useless information, he simply cuts to the heart of the matter and is done with it. Some of his brother Primarchs consider his mannerisms to show a lack of tact or social graces. Others enjoy his blunt input, as he will give an unfiltered and honest opinion. Merrill himself believes that anything less than a blunt response is a disservice to others and a waste of time and could lead to further wastes of men, firepower, or equipment.

	'''Grenade Dispenser''': ~~Because he so often fought~~ alone, ~~Roger~~ learned to make due without the battlefield support his brothers so often had. ~~Rogerius~~ counts as having Assault Grenades, Melta Bombs, one Void Canister, a rare type of bomb that uses a focused vacuum implosion to pull a great cloud of dust and sediments towards the blast point, granting the user shrouded for one game turn. Additionally, all units within 6" of the user (including the user) must pass a toughness test or suffer from Strikedown.

He counts as having Assault Grenades, Melta Bombs, one Void Canister and a rare type of bomb that uses a focused vacuum implosion to pull a great cloud of dust and sediments towards the blast point, granting the user shrouded for one game turn. Additionally, all units within 6" of the user (including the user) must pass a toughness test or suffer from Strikedown.

	'''Recon Artificer Armor''': A very light, flexible variant artificer armor, based on the armor worn by legion scouts. Provides a 3+/4++, and counts as a Nuncio Vox. Grants Move through Cover, Acute Sense and all "Sniper" weapons must refill successful to hit rolls.

	'''Last Sight of Your Life''': Rogerius gains the Hammer of Wrath special rule and inflicts 1D3 hits instead of 1. On the charge, Rogerius gains D3 extra attacks.

'''Pragmatism is a Virtue''': If Rogerious wipes out a unit in close combat before the beginning of the next phase, he can make use of a single grenade or special/heavy weapon that unit possessed.

	'''Swiftest of His Sons''': Rogerius counts as Jump infantry and can make jump moves in the move and assault phases of the same turn, and has the Hit and Run and Move Through Cover special rules. He doesn't actually have a jump pack, he's just that fucking fast.

	Jesus, where do you even start with this guy? Well let's start with weaknesses: Rogerius will blow over in a stiff breeze. The guy has 3+/4++, and one less T and W than most primarchs. In a fair fight, almost every other primarch will whip his ass. Lucky for you, Rogerius lives by the creed, "If you're in a fair fight, someone did something wrong." He's '''much''' meaner than most on the charge, getting a potential 9 S6 attacks plus your HoW hit, and he has assault grenades as a cherry on that murder milkshake. So sure, in a straight up fight he'll usually lose, but he has hit and run, so you can jump in, hit him with a charge, then Hit and ''Run'' away, to charge again next turn. Plus he's the fastest primarch ([[Gaspard Lumey\|kind of]]), what with his ''fleetcrusaderdoublejumpmovethroughcover'' shenanigans. Also, while it may seem at first glance that he does nothing for his sons, look again. His armor's nuncio vox combined with his infiltrate and outflanking mean that you'll be able to accurately drop some elites right in your opponent's face, turn 2, and his pragmatism rule mean you could, say... Assault a squad with Rogerius, wipe them out, then ''throw their assault grenades at another unit, which can then be charged by his sons.'' Or barring that, you can just shoot some shit; wipe out a couple termis with a plasma gun, pop an enemy's tank ''with his own rocket launcher''. Use your imagination. Roger is however ''very'' fragile for an almost 500 point unit. Seriously, a squad of legion terminators that costs half of what he does will be twice as durable against most things, and they'll probably be more useful against tanks (don't be fooled by those melta bombs and one charge's worth of haywire attacks, Rogerius gets to kill '''one''' tank). Use him wisely. He's also not a fan of fearless. Most units will get charged, loose combat, break, and be overtaken and murdered. Fearless and Stubborn both throw a wrench in that plan.

	Before the Heresy, he ~~bore~~ a lighter, slimmer variant of Artificer Armor, designed for speed and mobility.

For weaponry, he carried a unique power spear, enhanced with ~~technology~~ from the Dark Age of Technology, and a long-range rifle for those few occasions he could not close with an enemy.

	Merrill is smaller than almost all of the other Primarchs, yet still stands head and shoulders above your average Space Marine, with dark, reddish skin, and long, black hair, shaved along the sides. He is also considered softer of features, and, in comparison, seems one of the most unassuming. In stark contrast to this are his eyes. While soft brown in color, they ~~are eyes that~~ have clearly seen hardship, giving a bitter, resentful look to what would otherwise be a rather bland face. He wears a lighter version of his brothers' armor, leaving ~~more soft armor,~~ his neck, and arms exposed for greater flexibility. When not in a combat zone, he is often seen wearing ~~softer~~ leather and fur clothing, in the style of his homeworld.

	After his ascent to daemon prince, he became much taller, and gaunt. His skin is mottled, and constantly shifting colours, ~~which~~ always ~~seem to~~ blend with his surroundings. Though still bipedal, he bears the legs of a great predator, with abnormally long, clawed hands and arms. Soot-black feathered wings sprout from his back, and his bestial head bears antlers, forming almost a ring as a mockery of a crown or halo. His hair, oddly, still remains, but hangs low and limp on his stooped form, braids and locks held in place with leather, stone, and brass clasps and ties inscribed with blasphemous symbols and rites. ~~He has a~~ voice ~~which~~ simultaneously sounds like the rustling of leaves on the wind and the roar of a great predator.
