Appearance and Personality
A bear of a man, even amongst his demi-god brotherhood Camaxtli is one of the largest primarchs to fight in the Great Crusade. Standing at twice the height of a space marine, Camaxtli was an immense form to witness. Commonly seen with his great Macuahuitl, Camaxtli relished the twisting melee of the 30'th millenium and could often be found at the forefront of his armies, sweeping through the enemy and engulfing their champions. Save for his fang and perpetual sneer, Camaxtli was an attractive long featured male and perpetually barefaced, even remarking once: "unshaven features are abominable." Yet, despite his aggressive and domineering attitude Camaxtli numbered amongst the most energetic and enthusiastic of primarchs. Quick to take action, and passionate regarding actions he supported Camaxtli was a man one desired for his boundless praise, and despised for his uncensored judgement.
Where other primarchs were clad in the gold and silver common to the greater Imperium, Camaxtli maintained the customs of his world, bearing a powerful array of colored feathers against thick white armor lined with turquoise and emerald. His Macuahuitl is similarly extravagant, it's surface covered with ritual carvings and lined in bright orange, the weapon's artistry illustrates it's creation and service in Camaxtli's hands. Once asked by Rogerius Merrill why he would make himself an obvious target "The Maw" replied:
Only cowards and idiots hide behind their armies, true leadership and strength are found in the front, against death and diversity where a man's worth is found. Those who sneak amongst their brothers do not deserve their loyalty, for how can a man expect others to die in his stead? Let the Emperor's enemies see me and know me, for I am Camaxtli, the Maw, killer and consumer of those who oppose humanity's might!
