EXPLANATION
Ferrus Manus was one of the Emperor’s loyal Primarchs and a close ally of Fulgrim before the rebellion. During the battle on Istvaan V, Ferrus Manus confronted Fulgrim directly. Fulgrim had already pledged himself to Chaos and defeated Ferrus Manus during the fight, killing him. His death became one of the earliest major losses for the Imperium during the Horus Heresy.
WHY IT MATTERS
The death of Ferrus Manus weakened the Imperium early in the war and deeply affected the Iron Hands Legion. The chapter later developed a culture emphasizing cybernetic augmentation and emotional suppression.
