Horus Lupercal, often referred to simply as Horus, is a central figure in the Warhammer 40,000 fictional universe created by Games Workshop. Here are some key details about Horus Lupercal:
Primarch of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus: Horus is one of the twenty Primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind during the Great Crusade. He was the Primarch of the Luna Wolves Legion, which later became the Sons of Horus Legion after Horus turned against the Emperor.
Great Crusade: During the Great Crusade, Horus was the Warmaster, the supreme commander of the Imperium’s military forces. He led the crusade to reclaim worlds lost during the Age of Strife and to reunite humanity under the rule of the Emperor.
Corruption and Betrayal: Horus, influenced by the Chaos Gods, particularly Chaos Undivided, succumbed to corruption during the Horus Heresy, a galaxy-spanning civil war that unfolded as a result of his rebellion against the Emperor. He betrayed his father and led a significant portion of the Space Marine Legions in open rebellion.
Turning to Chaos: Horus fell to Chaos after being seduced and corrupted by the Chaos Gods, particularly by the Chaos entity known as Chaos Undivided. This transformation marked a pivotal moment in the Horus Heresy.
Siege of Terra: The Horus Heresy reached its climax during the Siege of Terra, where Horus led a massive assault on the Imperial Palace on Terra (Earth). The final confrontation between Horus and the Emperor took place during this intense battle.
Death of Horus: The climactic duel between Horus and the Emperor ended with the Emperor defeating Horus. In a moment of desperation, the Emperor hesitated to deliver a killing blow, leading to Horus’s death. This event had profound consequences for the Imperium.
Legacy: Horus Lupercal’s rebellion and fall to Chaos had lasting consequences for the Imperium of Man. The Emperor was mortally wounded during the confrontation, and the Imperium entered a new era of stagnation, with the Emperor confined to the Golden Throne.
Horus Lupercal’s story is a pivotal and tragic aspect of the Warhammer 40,000 lore. The Horus Heresy and its aftermath continue to shape the grimdark narrative of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
