the fact that jonson survived the first ten years of his life on a deathworld populated by chaos influenced creatures, to me at least, simply states how inately capable he was of surviving. he was far more capable of surviving such environs, whether it was through fight, flight or hide, than any other primarch - i doubt even russ would have survived caliban as an infant.

he was the first created primarch. the dark angels have the most stable and least corrupted geneseed, and so by extension jonson's would be even more stable and even less corruptible, which would also suggest that he was the single greatest accomplishment of the primarch program. all of which is a testament to his ability to resist any chaotic influence or manipulation.

the lion is loyal. in fact i would go as far to say that besides sanguinius no-one is/was more loyal.

i'm a fan of the dark angels though so obviously i'm biased :)
