EXPLANATION
Vulkan was one of the loyalist Primarchs who fought during the Horus Heresy. He possessed a rare ability known as perpetual resurrection, allowing him to survive lethal injuries. During the war he endured capture and torture by the traitor Primarch Konrad Curze before eventually returning to aid the Imperium. After the Siege of Terra, Vulkan remained active for some time but eventually disappeared. Imperial records suggest he left behind artifacts for the Salamanders to find.
WHY IT MATTERS
Vulkan’s disappearance left the Salamanders without their Primarch but also created a lasting legend within the chapter. His status as a perpetual means he could potentially return, making him one of the few Primarchs whose fate remains open in Imperial history.
