angron

Warhammer 40K character. Primarch of the XIIth Legion of the Adeptus Astartes, the World Eaters.

Dropped into the world of Nuceria, Angron was captured as an infant and spent his youth as a slave in the gladiatorial pits of the planet until he and other gladiators launched a revolt that saw them tearing through cities in reckless abandon. Backed into a corner, the slaves and him would make a last stand until the Emperor came and took him away to join the Great Crusade. Hurt and resentful over the loss of his brothers and sisters, Angron went down a path of madness and destruction which saw him join the Traitor Forces in the fight against the Imperium, later joining Lorgar on a crusade against the Ultramar Sector. He'd eventually be elevated to Daemon Princehood due to the machinations of his brother, and was seen frequently among the many conflicts of the Imperium against Chaos thereafter.
