History
Formation - The Luna Wolves
The original Luna Wolves are believed to have had a somewhat unusual origin; they were effectively kidnapped from Cthonia by 'recruitment squads' sent from Terra charged with the task of rounding up thousands of individuals from the violent gangs that infested the ancient world. These 'recruits' were then taken to geno-laboratories on Luna for the modification and indoctrination required to become Space Marines. The early Luna Wolves, known at this point as only the XVIth Legion, were only roughly one thousand strong but nonetheless Pacified Luna, becoming known as the Emperor's Wolves during the conflict. Despite this somewhat forced beginning, the end results were reckoned to be exemplary loyal and ferociously motivated troops. By the time Horus was placed in charge of them, they were ten thousand strong. Upon the discovery of Horus, the Emperor renamed them the Luna Wolves in honor of their past victories and baptism of fire on Earth's moon.
Horus, the Primarch of the Luna Wolves, was the first of the Primarchs to be recovered by the Emperor, having been cast much closer to Terra than the others. Horus was for many years the Emperor's only discovered son, and there was a great affinity between them. The Emperor spent much time with his protege, teaching and encouraging him, and soon gave him command of the legion created from his own genetic code. With these warriors to lead, Horus accompanied the Emperor for the first thirty years of the Great Crusade, and together they forged the initial expansion of the young Imperium.
