From the moment he was rediscovered as an infant on the nuclear-ravaged world of Macragge, Roboute Guilliman seemed destined for greatness. In this episode, we chronicle the rise of the primarch who would become a beacon of hope in the darkest hours.

We'll follow young Roboute's upbringing under his foster father Konor, learning the principles of sacrifice and honor that would shape his ideology. Watch as he masters pioneering concepts in warfare, philosophy, and statecraft as a prodigy. All of this culminates in the pivotal day the Emperor arrives to reveal Guilliman's true nature as one born to lead.

Appointed Lord Commander of the newly formed Ultramarines legion, we'll chart how Guilliman's genius transforms his warriors into an unstoppable force during the Great Crusade. From laying out revolutionary tactical doctrines to streamlining military logistics, his innovations make the XIII Legion the exemplar for Astartes operations.

Yet all is not won through martial might alone. We'll see how Guilliman creates the scales of bureaucracy and law that allow the Imperium to effectively govern reclaimed worlds, establishing a system of fealty and cooperation among newly illuminated humans.

But even this champion of duty and honor cannot avoid full corruption when the Horus Heresy erupts. After a period of agonizing meditation, Guilliman is forced to accept Dorn's judgment and lead his Ultramarines against the traitorous Lorgar and Word Bearers. An apocalyptic battle ensues between vision of human ascendancy and hateful blasphemy against the Emperor. Who will emerge victorious as the galaxy burns around them?
