Lion El'Jonson, also known as The Lion and The First, is the Primarch of the Dark Angels. He was scattered along with the other Primarchs to the far corners of the galaxy. He finally came to rest on the world Caliban, a beautiful but blighted world tainted by Chaos due to its proximity to the Eye of Terror. Lion El'Jonson was renowned for a level of strategic brilliance and martial prowess that was rivaled perhaps only by Horus, but was distrusted by his brother Primarchs for his secretive and taciturn nature. The Chaos emissary to Lorgar called him the Duelist.

Fun fact: the emperor gave the Lion control over a group of lobotomized Men of Iron called the Excindio. Being the firstborn means you get all the best toys.
If you think about it, the fact that half of the Lion’s sons turned traitor only serves to strengthen the similarities between him and the Emperor. Truly like father, like son.
My favorite quote from the Lion is one he said to Guiliman: "Insult me again, Brother, and I will Theoretically punch you in your Practical face"
The royal sons of the Emperor have a great record of having caring parents after their discovery. Except for Lion El'Jonson’s adapted ‘Redacted’, half of the legion became ‘Redacted’ which led to more ‘Redacted’
You forgot to mention the time he exterminated a race of psychic parasites and killed one by strangling it in his mind space and then reading it’s mind.
The Lion coming back is interesting because it's such a huge change for the Dark Angels. The Ultramarines with Guilliman are just the Ultramarines without Guilliman but even harder. Having the Lion back will change the Dark Angels' whole identity.
When you mentioned the Lion spawn-camping Angron, I immediatelly pictured him sitting on a rock like Thanos when Angron comes back, just calmly re-sharpening his sword between the duels
One minor thing not mentioned is the Lion is considered Keeper of Secrets. He never gave anyone the full story of his intentions or how much he knows. To anyone, even his own brothers or most trusted sons they only knew half of the side he showed them. It's why he's often given missions by the Emperor to exterminate something knowing history wouldn't remember it, but to accept that duty as its own reward. All his Dark Angels are conditioned to not question the Lion or pry into anything even amongst themselves because to do so would compromise a delicately kept information network to prevent obfuscation and espionage from outside forces. In some ways they put the Alpha Legion to shame.
Had to chuckle when it was revealed that Luther is still alive within the Rock. Can't have an old Medieval Castle without an insane Prisoner locked up and kept secret deep in the dungeons!
From my understanding. The Parallel with the Emperor isn't just what was discussed. The reason Luthor landed his big attack is because Lion actually hesitated to strike the killing blow, giving Luthor his opening. When Luthor realized what happened that is why his mind broke free from Chaos. The Lion of all people, shows him mercy due to seeing Luthor as a brother, hence why Luthor was convinced he would come back to forgive him.
I finally realized why the Lion and Russ don't get along!
My favorite quote from the Lion, and I live by this quote.
The dynamic between Leman Russ and the Lion are some of my favorite primarch relationships
"Survivors are just future enemies"
Dark Angels: Yes, the Lion's awakens!! 😊
In his Primarch novel, Lord of the First there is this exchange between Lion and Emperor. It explain Dark Angels' true purpose.
I actually thought bricky was going to follow up with "the difference with curze is that he ate children and rat and shit.... Whilst the lion ate chaos dinosaurs"
I think that Bricky did a good job introducing The Lion in a “foot in the door” manner, only thing I would have added was how good of a duelist he was. Like he made Curze think that maybe his powers were bullshit because the Lion could’ve just killed him
Iirc there's a story about Kairos Fatewever invading the Invincible Reason to corrupt the Lion. His perfect knowledge of the future allowed him to effortlessly peel away the defenses of the Dark Angel Flagship until, finally, he and his forces stood on the bridge facing the primarch and his honor guard. Kairos cast his gaze into the future to see what temptations he could offer the Lion to most swiftly seduce him to chaos; but no future he saw had the Lion fall. In his stupor, he was wide open to attack so the Lion attacked and forced him back into the warp.
