| “ | The time for speeches is done. The first great test is here. My order to you all is simple, yet heed it well, and exert yourselves to see it done. They are coming. Kill them all. | „ |
| ~ Rogal Dorn before the Siege of Terra begins and his most famous quote. |
Rogal Dorn is major protagonist in Warhammer 40k and the unbreakable Primarch of the Imperial Fists Legion. Known across the galaxy as Praetorian of Terra and the Unyielding One, he was the mastermind of the defense in the Siege of Terra, that saw him rally the loyalist forces against Horus' unholy armada, and was crucial to The Imperium's ultimate victory on the sacred homeworld of humanity. He and his legion are the archenemies of his brother Perturabo and his Iron Warriors.
Personality[]
Similar to his brothers Roboute and Perturabo, Rogal Dorn is one of the brightest and most intelligent minds in existence. He takes every opportunity possible to continue learning, continue improving his skills. Unlike the uncompromising and ironlike mentality of Perturabo, or the by the books demeanor of Guilliman however, Rogal understands that one must be able to adapt to any and all situations and react accordingly. While he is absolutely unshakable in his ideals, Rogal welcomes and encourages his sons to not fall victim to a tunnel vision mindset, as while completing their missions must always be their primary goal, the method in which they do so must be fluid, and if a more efficient course of action presents itself, to always take it. Of all his Primarch siblings, Rogal is perhaps the most pure in his determination, for to him, service is its own reward, and he genuinely wants nothing more than to help humanity prosper. It is because of this that unique amongst the Primarchs, Rogal is completely impervious to the temptations of Chaos, for within his heart there is not a single selfish desire or hunger for power to be found.
Stoic, composed, he is a paragon of humanity's might and courage and never once throughout the brutal and tragic ordeal that was the Horus Heresy did he question his motives or the cause, and never broke, for there is no greater defender or more unbreakable force than Rogal Dorn. Despite this, he is rather socially inept, but not to the extent of his older brother The Lion.
