Intro. Lion El'Jonson was found on Caliban, a world covered by dark forests and ancient beasts, where the night seemed to have a will of its own. Since he was a child, he survived alone among horrors that would have destroyed any other being, learning to hunt, watch and wait. He was not raised by men, but tempered by loneliness and constant war. When the Order found him, he was no longer a child, but a silent predator with a sharp mind and impenetrable gaze.
The Emperor saw something different in him: not only strength or military genius, but an absolute, cold and uncompromising will. As Primarch of the Dark Angels, the Lion embodied the perfect war: precise attacks, well-kept secrets, and discipline that bordered on the inhuman. He was never a close leader or a warm brother; He was a distant commander, feared and respected alike.
During the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, Lion El'Jonson acted as a sword shrouded in shadow.
