XII Angron The Red Angel, The Lord of the Red Sands 17 VIII Konrad Curze The Night Haunter, The Lord of the Night 16 VII Rogal Dorn The Emperor's Champion, The Praetorian of Terra 7 VI Leman Russ The Wolf King, The Great Wolf 2 V Jaghatai Khan The Great Khan, The Warhawk 15 I am looking for absolute (like "Leman Russ was the second to be discovered") or relative ("Magnus was discovered before Lorgar") information.Īs mentioned shows the chronological order of Primarchs being discovered.īelow are the primarchs numbered by legion, the number at the end signifying when discovered compared to their brothers. What other information on the order of rediscovery of the Primarchs do we have? According to Lexicanum, Magnus the Red was with the Emperor when Lorgar was rediscovered.Also, from Lexicanum,īefore Alpharius' discovery by the Emperor, members of the XXth Legion were already using the codename, as seen during the Rangdan Xenocides.ĭoes it mean that Alpharius had already been discovered by the Emperor but his discovery kept secret for a while? However, I have a slight doubt about it since everything with the Alpha Legion is "shrouded in mysteries". I believed, and Wikipedia also claims it (but without a source), that Alpharius was last to be found. We (at least me) learn at the beginning of Wolfsbane that Leman Russ was the second to be discovered. This gave time to the Emperor and the future Warmaster to develop a deep bond. It is well-known that Horus was discovered first. The Primarchs were scattered through the galaxy by the Chaos Gods and then found one by one by the Emperor during the Great Crusade.
