one of the thoughts i have on the 2 lost primarchs fits with a mutation of the primarch being passed through his legion.....

whether it was from chaotic influence or the emperor was unaware of the potential he had created, one of the primarchs had a psychic might and mastery that dwarfed even the emperor's. this was passed into his entire legion, effectively creating a chapter of unparalleled psykers (the grey knights would have nothing on these boys).

but because of the inate power in the primarch he saw, far more clearly and further, than emps could. he saw the destruction his legion, and himself, could cause if they were ever to fall to chaos - the potential to utterly destroy the imperium in a matter of days.

my thought has this primarch being the 1st one recovered and as such a bond was built unmatched by any other primarch, albeit short lived. because of how close he was to emps he shared his ideals completely as well as a mammoth portion of altruism, and unable to even allow the potential to exist of him turning on the imperium he pleaded with emps to destroy the entire legion and himself too. emps couldn't do it himself, but he had a wolf he could unleash. russ, while not aware of how powerful this primarch was, none the less fathomed enough of the situation to build up a significant animosity towards psychically inclined primarchs.
