Each ghost is a unique creature, born from the genetic material of the Emperor and embodying different aspects of His personality. All of them have unlimited possibilities, but only one has the right to be called the First. Leo El’Johnson personifies all the best, for which the primaries were conceived, and his legion is famous for endurance, honor and unsurpassed military skill. They are the surest weapon of the Lord of men, His unshakable penitent hand. They are the Dark Angels. While the Emperor gathers his most powerful offspring to attack Ullanor Prime, the Lord of the First leads his legion to the far reaches of the known Galaxy to subdue a single rebellious world. What is this indulgence of his infamous pride? Or the cursed cemetery of the fallen empires, called the Vurdalach stars, hides something that the Lion is not ready to tell even his own sons?
