Hectarion Mycenor

Hectarion Mycenor is the Primarch of the IInd Legion - the Crimson Lions. Above all else, Hectarion is the king of his Dominion, born to rule his people. For him, navigating the tribal politics of his homeworld comes as naturally as leading men to war, and he is deeply tied to his barbarian roots. His instinct is always to keep fighting rather than make a dishonourable peace, which is his main weakness as a politician.

Hectarion is not above letting his own need to see vengeance and honour satisfied dictate his actions in the field, disobeying orders if he deems them too restrictive. This is not, as some perceived, a sign of disloyalty, as his loyalty is unshakeable because of his own self-doubt. He will never disobey the Emperor and is willing to hurl his legion into near-suicidal missions in the Emperor's name because he feels they have the most to prove. This has led to him refusing to retreat when facing difficulties but to get his herald to blow the horn and sound the charge once more.

Physical Description
Hectarion is the third largest Primarch, being almost eye to eye with Caelum although Hectarion is not as broad as Caelum. While he is an inspirational presence for his sons and no slouch as a tactician, Hectarion is at his most dangerous in close combat and he is, alongside Theoderaf and Araphel, one of the best close quarters fighters of the Primarchs. Because of this, he does not hang back in battle and is instead in the vanguard, seeking out the enemies leaders wherever they are and killing them.

However, unlike Araphel, Hectarion is not purely designed for a single task. He is the King of the Dominion, and embraces his barbarian roots and image. While he did learn the more modern aspects of Imperial bureaucracy from his brother and tutor, Alexandros Darshan VonSalim, he does not micromanage. Instead, he prefers to govern as the early kings of Terra did, offloading the more tedious elements of running an empire to his human bureaucracy while he deals with matters such as war and dispensation of justice within the Dominion's borders.
