Perturabo - Perturabo: Perturabo, sometimes called the "Lord of Iron," "The Breaker" and "The Hammer of Olympia," is the primarch of the Iron Warriors Traitor Legion, one of the original twenty Space Marine Legions. Weaned on war and intrigue in the strife-ridden courts of his homeworld of Olympia, Perturabo was a grim warrior and master of technological arcana who wielded logic and the mathematics of warfare as keenly as he did a blade and bolter.The Lord of Iron was taciturn to the point of insult, preferring to harbour his thoughts against the threat of treachery, even amongst his kin. Few would call him friend, but none could fault his ability to wage a campaign and plot the most direct course to victory regardless of the cost and despite the strain put on him and his IVth Legion during the long years of the Great Crusade. His word was as unbreakable as iron.Unlike his brother primarchs, many of whom embraced the Emperor of Mankind's Great Crusade with near-fanatical devotion, Perturabo thought of it simply as a task that his sworn duty to the Emperor compelled him to pursue. His conquests were innumerable, but unremarked and unthanked, as his Iron Warriors brought many worlds into the Imperium of Man, but he left behind him shattered planets on the brink of extinction by his brutal, if effective, strategies.So it was that, rotting from within with loathing and bitter spite, the iron facade the Iron Warriors Legion presented to the Imperium obfuscated the extent of how rapidly and how deeply it had descended into homicidal madness, until at last it was called on to help in the punishment of the rebellious Warmaster Horus Lupercal at Isstvan V, and the dark truth was revealed.Perturabo arrived at Isstvan V in the wake of the bloody pacification of his homeworld of Olympia, a campaign that wiped out the entire population, and some claim tipped Perturabo and his Legion over the edge of madness and fully into the abyss of betrayal during the subsequent Drop Site Massacre, an infamous action that will echo forever in the history of the Imperium.In the wake of the Drop Site Massacre, Perturabo left the blasted carcass of Isstvan V, carrying his fallen brother Ferrus Manus' warhammer Forgebreaker as a token of his new allegiance to Horus' treacherous cause.Following the tragic events of the Horus Heresy and his Legion's subsequent flight into the Eye of Terror, Perturabo has since ascended to Daemon Prince status by the will of the Ruinous Powers and currently resides within the Eye of Terror on the Daemon World of Medrengard.Quick Answers																		What led to Perturabo becoming the 'Lord of Iron'?
