Lorgar Aurelian is one of the twenty Primarchs in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, created by the Emperor of Mankind to lead the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade. Raised on the religious world of Colchis, Lorgar saw the Emperor as a divine figure and led his Word Bearers Legion with a fervent zeal to spread the worship of the Emperor. However, this obsession with religious devotion led to inefficiencies and delays, resulting in a public reprimand from the Emperor, which deeply humiliated Lorgar.
Disillusioned, Lorgar turned to the Chaos Gods, seeking the recognition and power he felt the Emperor denied him. Embracing Chaos, he led the Word Bearers into heresy and played a pivotal role in corrupting Warmaster Horus, sparking the galaxy-wide civil war known as the Horus Heresy. After the Heresy, Lorgar ascended to daemonhood and continues to plot against the Imperium from the Warp.
Lorgar’s story is a cautionary tale of fanaticism and betrayal. His transformation from a devout son of the Emperor to a Daemon Prince of Chaos highlights the dangers of misplaced faith and the corrupting influence of Chaos. His legacy endures through the Word Bearers, one of the most fanatical and religiously driven of the Chaos Space Marine Legions.
