Background
Primarch: Angron is one of the twenty Primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind. He was intended to be a superhuman leader and warrior, guiding humanity in the Emperor’s grand vision.

The World Eaters
Legion Leadership: Angron was given command of the XII Legion, the War Hounds, which he renamed the World Eaters. He imposed the use of the Butcher’s Nails on his warriors, amplifying their ferocity but also their instability.
