Fulgrim the Illuminator is a daemon prince of Slaanesh and a fallen son of the god-emperor. Consumed by vanity, this serpentine titan spends the eons in seclusion in a private paradise plane, emerging from it only to satisfy his petty whims with slaughter. The Perfectionist Planner. It is said that the god-emperor’s twenty sons were scattered across the multiverse soon after their birth, forcing him to track them down over centuries. Legends tell that Fulgrim arrived on a dying world with few resources, a world that he had reshaped into a verdant paradise by the time his sire found him. Struck by the god-emperor’s majesty, Fulgrim sought to emulate him in all respects and gladly joined his crusade. Yet over time his aspirations would warp into obsession, and he sanctioned questionable experiments meant to bring his space marine sons closer to his vision of “perfection”. Damned by the Blade. Fulgrim’s downfall began when he found the Blade of the Laer, a cursed sword containing a daemon of Slaanesh. He took it for himself, not realizing its true nature, and fell under the daemon’s influence. In this state he was easily persuaded to join Horus in rebelling against the god-emperor, and as the first battle drew near he began committing unspeakable acts. Fulgrim’s fate was sealed when he slew his loyal brother Ferus Manus: as he looked down at Ferus’s headless body, shocked and horrified at what he’d done, the daemon seized on this moment of weakness and possessed him. Though Fulgrim would eventually expel the daemon from his body, the last dregs of his nobility were gone: he had become a depraved, egocentric hedonist every bit as vile as the daemon itself. Slayer of Titans. Fulgrim ascended to daemonhood soon after his corruption, becoming a four-armed, serpent-tailed beast akin to a marilith. In this form he would strike down another of his brothers, the loyalist Roboute Guilliman, in the decades following Horus’s failed rebellion. For this deed and his earlier murder of Ferus Manus, Slaanesh rewarded Fulgrim with an entire layer of the Abyss to serve as his personal pleasure garden, a retreat which cannot be accessed by any means save Fulgrim’s personal invitation.
