>plan c?

exterminatus/orbital bombardment. prolonged engagements are costly for such a small legion. Enemy military, economic, and political bastions are engaged from orbit, and then followed up by overwhelming close fire support from gunships. Dismounts clear the complexes afterwards.

>Does the primarch have a wide circle of comrades/advisors. A small one? None at all?

He maintains a small council of advisors. likewise he keeps a small circle of friends among his Astartes brothers. 

>what does his personal domain look like

Spartan. Save for trophies taken from his most thrilling hunts, and a modest work area. His weapons and armour are on display, however not particularly elegant. His armour on a manikin and weapons on racks. 

>What kind of planner is he, methodical/detailed/backup plans?

He relies largely on intuition and adaptability post-deployment. The motto "A simple plan, well rehearsed, executed aggressively" sums up his type of planning. He perceptive however and tends to identify enemy strengths and weaknesses in order to avoid the former and target the latter.

>Are they an intellectual, a philosopher, an engineer, explorer, linguist, or other?

He enjoys debate and discussion, likewise adventure and the thrill of the hunt. He isn't much of an intellectual himself so instead attempts to surround himself with them.

>What kind of leader is he?

A reluctant one, he understands his position within the scheme of the Great Crusade and is content knowing more able leaders are above him. He tends to lead from the front, and while he devotes time and effort into planning, others often see him as reckless due to his tendancy and comfort in "winging it". 

>How does he spend his spare time?

Meditation, training, probably reading some of the works made by his brothers.

>How does he view Humans / Astartes?

He views Humans as the inheritors of the Galaxy, and Astartes as living weapons of war, whose sole purpose is to protect humans, conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor. Not to rule or even lead, but to fight, to die, to conquer, and to shield.

>How does he feel about the other Primarchs

He has had limited interactions with most of them, gets along well with a select few, and tries to keep tabs on those he doesn't know as well.

>Can you draw parallels to the OU Primarchs

Pre-Heresy he would be a combination of Khan and Corvus. Speed, Mobility, Stealth. An internal sort, happy with his place and content to be alone if thats whats required. With a little bit of the Lion thrown in.
Post-Heresy he is more of a Black Templar/Dark Angel, zealous in his prosecution of the traitors, like the Unforgiven. Driven by hate, fuelled by it.

>Does his attitude get passed down by the geneseed

More or less, the geneseed passes on several genetic tendencies, including occassionally memory and the ability to shield their minds from psykers.

>Why haven't they made a crusade state

Because Astartes are not meant to settle down, they are meant to fight. More so since the traitors stole the Imperium from them.

>Why did he fight, why stay loyal?

Duty, Honour, and above all... Loyalty.

>Centralised command or decentralised?

Very much decentralised. He commanded as a first among equals. Having his own Wing he led personally (in addition to having overall command of the Legion). He designed the organisation of the Legion to be able to be broken down into autonomous sections each with galactic means of transport and organic support.

>Do they follow Alexios' Codex

God no. Theories have a place, but its not on the battlefield. More to the point, the Legions design is already broken up enough to prevent a single ruler going rogue so there is no point. 

>does he socialise

Yes, he likes to duel. When his Brothers want to talk he often invites them to his arena, "Truth is singular, it is unthought action. Lies are words upon words." Of course thats not always possible. When talking, he has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/Laconian| dry wit which can be antagonising.]
