'''Horus Lupercal''' is a male literary character who features in [[Warhammer 40,000]]. ==Biography== ===Origin=== [[File:HorusHeresySaturnineTextless.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Horus Lupercal of Cthonia.]] Horus Lupercal was one of the genetically engineered [[Primarchs (Warhammer 40,000)|Primarchs]] created by the [[Emperor of Mankind]]. The actions of the [[Chaos Gods]] resulted in the Primarchs being scattered across the galaxy where one of their number came to rest on the planet '''Cthonia'''. It was a world close to the Sol System where he was discovered by the Cthonian gang overlord '''Khageddon''' who gave the child the 'no-name' of '''Nergüi'''. Growing up for a time under Khageddon's gang, Nergüi engaged in the perpetual gang warfare beneath Cthonia's surface that dominated the world. However his life changed dramatically when he came upon the pod he had arrived to Cthonia on, now being excavated by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Adeptus Mechanicum]]. Nergüi engaged in battle with the Tech-Priests, killing one and recovering its weapon before running back to Khageddon. Khageddon scolded Nergüi for his recklessness, saying those he killed would chase them back to their tribal lair. Khageddon refused to give Nergüi his 'kill-name' over the incident, much to the young ganger's anger. However just as Khageddon predicted, Mechanicum adepts arrived at their tribal hold and began to dig through ffrom the surface. With the chamber collapsing around them and most of the gang dying, Khageddon instructed Nergüi to slay him to earn his kill-name. After Nergüi performed the act, he suddenly gained buried memories of the Galaxy, technology, and himself. Even his body began to swell, seemingly awakened by a trigger. When the Tech-Priests finally arrived into the chamber a Primarch stood before him where Nergüi proclaimed himself as '''Horus'''. ===Great Crusade=== ===Horus Heresy=== ===Legacy=== ==Overview== ===Personality and attributes=== As one of the Primarchs, he came to serve the Emperor and called him 'father'. ===Powers and abilities=== Horus Lupercal was a genetically engineered human created as one of the Primarchs that were developed by the Emperor of Mankind. A tactical genius, charismatic battle leader, and adept envoy and statesman, Horus proved himself over the course of the Great Crusade as a warlord second only to the Emperor. He wore a unique suit of Terminator armour known as the '''Serpent's Scales'''. Originally, he fought with a Power Sword and Twin-Linked Bolter. The most distinctive weapon in his arsenal was a clawed glove that was known as the '''Warmaster's Talon'''. The monstrous Power Claw constructed for him as a gift by the Dark Mechanicum's Fabricator-General Kelbor-Hal. Another weapon he wielded was a great power maul named '''Worldbreaker'''. He was created to lead one of the armies of genetically engineered Space Marines where he was tasked with heading the '''XVI Legion'''. These warriors came to be known as the '''Luna Wolves''' for their campaigns on Luna. After being reunited with their Primarch, they came to be renamed as the '''Sons of Horus''' after the successes of their leader. He maintained an advisory council of four captains from Legion called the '''Mournival''' where the authority of its members were second only to Horus himself. After the Emperor retired from the Great Crusade, he came to name Horus as '''Warmaster''' and in charge of the Imperium's war efforts. ==Notes== *Horus Lupercal was created by Games Workshop and featured in the setting of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. ==In other media== ===Video games=== ==Appearances== *''Warhammer 40,000'': ==External Links== *[https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Horus_Lupercal Lexicanum Wiki Entry] {{stub}} [[Category:Characters]] [[Category:Male Characters]] [[Category:Literary Characters]] [[Category:Primarchs]] [[Category:Warlords]] [[Category:Mass Murderers]] [[Category:Traitors]] [[Category:Villains]] [[Category:Male Villains]] [[Category:Literary Villains]] [[Category:Warhammer 40,000]] [[Category:Games Workshop]]
