Kadjah Thoris you are correct, and i agree that it is only a theory. What if the warp storm that separated the primarchs in the first place was the very corruption of Horus from the future, where he was exposed to Chaos in that temple?

I realise it is a long shot but didn`t The Emperor have the abilituy of foresight, and even the Chaos gods themselves? The question would be how far into the future were they able to see. If The Emperor knew the warp storm would happen, or that some of His sons could betray Him, then he would not have created them or prevent the storm itself. That could hint about the limitless number of possible futures, or that The Emperor underestimated the Chaos gods. Remember that Horus was shown a vision of the current Imperium where The Emperor and the primarchs are worshipped as gods and he had no part in it. That`s thousands of years in the future, perhaps the chaos gods somehow obscured the vision of The Emperor. Could you imagine a scenario where The Emperor is like `i am a zombie on a golden throne, the Imperium is falling apart and my sons are missing. Everithing according to plan.`

I did not say one of the unknown primarchs turned traitor i said heavily mutated by the Warp. Note the circumstane with the Soul Drinkers or Legion of the Dammed. They are heavily mutated but are still loyal. Perhaps The Emperor banished one of said primarchs for being an abomination due to his mutations. If that primarch had turned traitor he would have been killed, the hint that he and his legion might still be active somewhere actually tells a lot.
