Biography
Perturabo was one of the genetically engineered Primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind. He along with his brothers came to be scattered across space by the actions of the Chaos Gods. In Perturabo's case, he came to land on the civilised world of Oympia. The most reliable information points to Perturabo as having been recovered from the rocky wilds outside the city-states by the Tyrant's guards. They had been pursuing tales of a strange and wondrous boy wandering between outlying minor settlements and outcast communities -- the boy plying his way both as a fighter for hire and as an artisan of phenomenal talent despite his great youth, staying in no one place for any length of time before moving on. Tales of the boy had reached the court of Lochos and Dammekos, a shrewd and cunning ruler, and he had been intrigued enough to despatch his retainers to find if any truth was in them and if so, how indeed they could be turned to his advantage.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He came to be known by a number of titles including the Lord of Iron, the Breaker and the Hammer of Olympia.
His cold demeanour and adherence to logic won him few friends among the other sons of the Emperor, though none could deny his strategic prowess.
Over the centuries, Perturabo had created a precisely ordered collection of genius to rival any work of Magnus or Roboute Guilliman. His inner sanctum contained a superb collection of precisely reconstructed stonework, multiple murals and painted works of art as well as hundreds of rolled parchments containing architectural wonders of his own design. Immense drawing desks bore architectural plans for grand pavilions, magnificent amphitheatres, complex industrial infrastructures, vast hives of habitation, impregnable citadels and ornate palaces to rival that of the mountain fastness of the Emperor Himself.
Powers and abilities
His Logos personal armour incorporated sophisticated technologies and weapon systems, including a teleport homer, cortex controller, and a wrist-mounted cannon of Perturabo’s own devising, which had a level of raw destructive firepower far in excess of its class.
After Ferrus Manus’ death on Isstvan V, Perturabo also wielded his brother’s hammer, Forgebreaker, brutally adapted to his own utilitarian preferences.
Among the Legiones Astartes, Perturabo headed the IVth Legion who were renamed the Iron Warriors after he assumed leadership of them.
In his youth, Perturabo came to call the world of Olympia his homeworld.
