Editing Golgothos (section)

===Youth===

''Sepulchra''. This was the name Golgothos chose for the world on which his incubation capsule landed, the place where he grew to manhood. It is certainly not the name that the men who dwelt there before Golgothos used, but by the time of the Primarch's arrival humanity had been scoured from Sepulchra by the feral Orks, leaving nothing behind but their ancient tombs and ruins. Trapped by the violence of the Warp and with no entertainment but brawling among themselves, the Orkish rulers of the world had withered into an even more degenerate state than their fellows elsewhere, seeking nothing more than the satisfaction of cracking another Ork's skull with a club or bullying the pitiful Grots.

Even so, a normal human child cast upon the rock of Sepulchra would have been doomed to die of neglect or worse. Not so for Golgothos. The Primarch leapt from his capsule already strong and cunning enough to evade the Orks and survive on their cruel world. As he grew in body and mind, Golgothos sought new challenges. At first he began to fight lone Orks, then learned to lure bands of the greenskinned aliens into broken terrain and pick them off one by one. The Primarch also delved into the ruins of Sepulchra and discovered something of the history of his world. He felt an instinctive kinship to the likenesses of long-dead men and women and a longing in his heart to protect them.

This urge sent Golgothos traveling about Sepulchra, searching for a place where humans still lived. He found nothing but Orks, and his urge to protect the vanished people of Sepulchra slowly transformed into a slow-burning flame of vengeance. The Primarch began to split his time between an unwinnable war against the fecund Orks and lucid hours among the relics of humanity. As time went on, he began to lose himself in rage for longer and longer periods, killing aliens in untold number - but never enough to diminish their unending supply.

In those red years, many Imperial vessels passed Sepulchra by. Rogue Traders saw no profit in a world inhabited by Orks. The Space Marine Legions were focused on liberating worlds on which humans still lived and vanquishing foes that might travel the void and threaten the growing Imperium. Only in the second century of the Great Crusade did the Emperor of Mankind travel close enough to Sepulchra to sense the psychic presence of one of His lost sons. Once He felt Golgothos' pain, the Emperor hastened to Sepulchra and landed with a bodyguard of His Custodes. According to the unimpeachable testimony of the Custodes, on first meeting his father Golgothos threw himself at the Emperor's feet and wept tears of joy, praising the Master of Mankind as a saviour deity.
