I'm wondering, because I want to flesh out my primarch's backstory. Here's what I got so far:

Name: Ithiel (meaning 'shining' or 'glorious' in hebrew)
-When the infant primarchs scattered, he went straight into the Eye of Terror
-Was not found by humans until after being influenced by chaos and (possibly) mutating
-When he was found by the emperor, he had already raised a warband and conquered most of the planet he was on. The emperor was the last person to see his face, because he is almost always encased in his power armor
-He had no marines created by his geneseed until the advent of the heresy, when a chaos lord obtained the data necessary for him to replicate the technology needed. He never created enough marines to fill a legion
-aligned to Khorne, but unusually calm. This trait is carried on to his marines
-never declared excommunicate traitoris because he never was considered part of the imperium in the first place.

I like it. The only problem I see with it is the part about no loyal marines ever being made from his gene seed. Even though the primarchs were lost, the Emperor still had their gene seed and had made legions from that seed even before the primarchs were found.

K. I just did that to fit in with my army list, which uses different troops with different marks of chaos. Perhaps I'll change it to most of them being killed during the heresy.
