So aside from the info on Lexicanum is there anything about him in the Horus Heresy books.
I know way back before they were with Mortarion they were called the Dusk Raiders.
GW really has a hard on for eight foot tall mutants who apparently can sneak up on somebody!!!
That aside does anyone have anything to throw in?

I don't recall the details, but "The Flight of the Eisenstein" is dedicated to the creation of the Death Guard as Chaos Space Marines with Typhus as a prominent character. And it is a good and imaginative book as well.

He's immune to poisons and toxic gases and atmospheres even beyond 'regular' Astartes and can drink down a tonic of vicious acids, toxins and poisons that make one of his Chapter commanders gag and struggle to remain conscious without blinking.
His unpainted, dark metal Terminator armour contains a bottled supply of his homeworld's noxious, poisonous atmosphere which it vents out around his chest - allowing him to experience it all the time.
He's 'ard as nails, really...

He was so accustomed to breathing toxins that without them, he'd die. What a bamf.

He sorta defaulted control over the death guard to typhus. He's sulking on his new planet just like all/most of the other chaos primarchs.

In the embrace of the great Nurgle, I am no longer afraid, for with His pestilential favour I have become that which I once most feared: Death.

Yea, see this is the one thing I hate about the Primarchs.
I would of thought "lets go get them eh?"
But no.... they sit on their lame Daemon Worlds.
Angorn still has it though.

I imagine warfare in the imperial reality is a kin to playing shadow puppets instead of real life. They call it The Great Game for a reason.

Spot on, Shaman. I don't think it's ever said what Mortarion is up to; only that some of the Death Guard led by Typhus wanted to range around outside of the Eye. Magnus, on the other hand, is pretty much skulking from what I understand. Fulgrim (who is not really Fulgrim) is probably deeply engaged in said Great Game, however.

We really should see more of these Primarchs. Not just Chaos we meet the still surviving loyalists to come show.
Hey... has it ever said that the Primarchs are still actually alive? I mean it has been 10k years.
And I'm aware Daemon Princes are immortal like Abbath.
