Editing Hektor Cincinnatus (section)

=Personality=
''Even thousands of years later, Hektor's visage still burns bright in my mind.  His was the perfected form of man.''

- Pallas Eugenesis

None met Hektor without being taken in by his charm.  Even the Imperium's most resolute enemies still found the Primarch to be endearing and would often express their regret that they were taking up arms against such a fine warrior.  He could seem graceful to the Eldar, 'ard to the Orks, and a peerless champion to Humanity.  Hektor's upbringing infused him with a great admiration for the generals and warlords of humanity's past, and he consciously adopted their reported habits.  Though he was only a fair writer, he sought to chronicle his campaigns to present himself and his Legion in the best light, and encouraged his entourage to add their own commentaries.

From his earliest days, Hektor felt a gnawing insecurity, sensing that he was little more than a weapon in his father's arsenal.  This sense of emptiness drove the Primarch, but it left him prone to rash decisions.  For all his charisma, he was short-tempered and quick to take insult.  [[Gaspard Lumey]] forever alienated him by daring to submit a list of proposed changes to Hektor's voluminous campaign chronicles, pointing out where the prose was weak or overblown.  Alexandri Ibirien's bad blood with Hektor is well-known, and although [[Arelex Orannis]] never sought conflict with the Sun King his unwitting offence provoked a murderous response.  Among the First Legion only '''Cassandor Honorius''', Hektor's Chief Librarian, ever made the mistake of firmly disagreeing with his gene-sire in person.  His error led to bloodshed and sorrow.

==Appearance==
His appearance was striking.  Even among his brother Primarchs, Hektor's physique stood out, taller than most and athletic.  His form exuded strength without seeming clumsy or brutish.  Combined with an appealing manner and fair looks, Hektor was often an object of desire.  Though he had no interest in women, the Primarch found love-letters endearing and maintained a collection of them as keep-sakes.  He was also not above using his sex appeal as a weapon in the Great Crusade, and tended to dress somewhat provocatively when out of combat.  He favoured tight clothing that displayed his figure and typically kept his arms bare.

When at war, the Sun King wore brilliant golden armour in the manner of his father.  However, Hektor's was fashioned by the Magoi of Mars to resemble his heroic physique and could hardly be mistaken for the massive power armour of the Emperor.  To honour his idol Sekander, Hektor fought with a power spear and shield when possible, although he also carried a power sword and bolter.  His great spear bore no name and no warrior but Hektor ever wielded it - after the Primarch's death, Cassandor shattered his chosen weapon.
