* SociopathicSoldier: To wit, after the Emperor abducted him and had him put in control of a Space Marine Legion, he was simply furious and uninterested. The Emperor had the Legion's Captains talk him down without laying a hand on Angron... until Khârn succeeded, Angron simply killed the unfortunate Captains that tried to talk to him.

After becoming compliant, Angron essentially became The Emperor's attack dog–let off the chain for especially brutal campaigns and scorched-earth tactics, of which he excelled.

Added DiffLines:

* MindScrew: Due to XX Primarch(s) fondness for trickery, duplicity and obfuscation, no one really knows anything concrete about Alpharius/Omegon and they make sure it stays that way.

* EvilIsEasy: The Primarchs got a massive boost in power when they fell to Chaos. Best demonstrated when Angron and Horus fought Sanguinius–The Great Angel proved so skilled and powerful that both of his corruption brothers basically had to cheat to keep up, and for Angron, even that wasn't enough to win.



* NearVillainVictory: The Horus Heresy was just barely a loss. The Emperor was left an inch from death after battling Horus and only managed to kill him thanks the interference of a figure who has been lost to history providing a critical distraction to get his head in the game at the last moment. Most Chaos Marines hold Horus in contempt as they are convinced that they would be ruling the Imperium now had he not choked at the finish line.

** Angron wanted revenge against the Emperor for forcing him to leave his gladiators to die -- what happened afterwards was no concern of his.

** Magnus never wanted to join Chaos in the first place and was effectively press ganged into the Traitor forces through a combination of Horus' manipulation and PoorCommunicationKills by Leman Russ. Magnus ended up using it as an excuse to exact revenge on everyone he perceived as having wronged him, which continues to this day.
* Alpharius is the most difficult to discern given his motives are so unclear.

Added DiffLines:

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: When Horus attempts a slow and dramatic coup de grâce on Sanguinius with Warbreaker, Horus' moment is interrupted by Sanguinius clawing at Horus' face–showing that The Great Angel was committed to at least slowing him down to the very literal end.
