Lionel Heresy Rogal Dorn
The Stone, the Master of Phalanx, the True Champion of the Emperor
In the 10,000 years since the Heresy to the opening of the Great Rift, Rogal Dorn has never stopped pushing forward the Great Crusade. The Imperial Fist Legion, which rotated in their role with the Luna Wolves as Terra's Guards at the Warmaster's command, found and rescued the drifting frigate Eisenstein while on a mission near Isstvan V. The survivors told shocking news: Horus took full power of Terra before confining the Emperor to the Palace; and now the Warmaster's forces had clashed with Horus's forces at Isstvan V.
It seemed unbelievable for Rogal Dorn, who knew Horus well, so he organized an investigative fleet to have a better grasp of the situation and dispatched Hashin Yonnad as commander at the recommendation of Sigismund. However, an unidentified attacker destroyed the fleed and killed Yonnad, and only a small number of survivors were returned thanks to the aid of both the Dark Angel and Ultramarine forces. Warmaster persuaded the confused Dorn by showing a harrowing battle record of Isstvan V followed by a recording of Horus' declaration of war against his wayward brothers, which was sent to the entire galaxy. It was this, told him Lion, which led Guilliman, Ferrus, and even Russ and Sanguinius to rebel, and soon after the 7th Legion decided to join the Warmaster. Eventually, to atone for his failure to protect Terra, Rogal Dorn turned his ornate yellow armor to solid black and wore a Pain Glove at all times, pledging not to take it off until he liberated Terra.Since then, Imperial Fist's determination and skill have been the great pillar of the Warmaster's army.
The 7th Legion managed to beat even the 13th Legion and break through Peturabo's defenses throughout the Solar System as they entered, securing a foothold for the 1st Legion to advance. At the Siege of Terra, he showed his tenacity beyond himself. However, while Warmaster entered the Gates of Eternity to rescue the Emperor, Rogal Dorn faced his archrival, the Lord of Iron, but failed to beat him down. Moreover, when even Lion collapsed and a great army led by Konrad, Logar and Omegon arrived from the rear, he swallowed his anger and retreated with Guilliman.
Since then, while other brothers have lost themselves to Chaos, only Rogal Dorn has not forgotten his mission to restore Terra. Relying on his great ship Phalanx to go back and forth between the Warp and the material, he has turned to ever increasingly desperate means to recover Terra, from accepting all sorts of dangerous technologies to questionable allies, attacking "Horus' Empire" several times. The Orks' amazing Planet Crack technique, especially obtained from the War of the Beasts, was applied to Phalanx through the reverse engineering done by Rogal Dorn, and the VII Legion’s flagship has now been reborn as the ultimate weapon to rip up the continents and boil the seas.When the Great Rift broke out and Horus was revived, Rogal Dorn burned with an unprecedented fighting spirit, for he had never for a moment forgotten the painful memory of retreating 10,000 years ago just before his victory. Even Sigismund, who joined Guilliman's Black Crusade and became a Chaos Champion, rejoined 7th Legion for vengeance. They soon burst out of the cracks that opened closest to the Solar System and began to conquer the False Empire's army and many planets returned to the arms of the "true" Imperium. Later, when Abaddon the Indominus marched into Phalanx, Rogal Dorn took Sigismund as the vanguard and took the Indominus Crusaders on Pluto, and the prelude to the greatest war began.

Я так и не понял главную завязку этого варианта Ереси. Зачем было запирать Императора? Нынешние хаоситы остались верны Импи, по сути?
Хороший текст, переводить его я конечно же не буду.
