Kleisthenes was granted command of a mighty Legion of Space Marines.  The Seventh, imbued with his won gene-seed, already resembled the men he had fought alongside on Europa: laconic, courageous, and dutiful.  His presence only heightened these traits among the Legion.  Unlike other Primarchs who took some time to assess or reshape their Legion, visit Holy Terra, or deal with administrative concerns, Kleisthenes' only concern was to join his men on the field of battle.  Once united with the Seventh, he led his armies with skill, creativity, and bravery.  His fulsome dedication to war made Kleisthenes, for a time, the natural choice to handle some of the most difficult campaigns confronting the crusading army.

His valour and selflessness impressed many of the other Primarchs, especially the foremost of the brotherhood, [[Hektor Cincinnatus]].  Kleisthenes played a key role in the great war against the Orks of Ullanor and the Triumph that celebrated that victory.  Though he was uncomfortable in that pageant, the Primarch could not have known how soon he would long for the days of triumphs and parades.
