  Horus Summary
Horus fought with Seth, and, despite the loss of one eye in the contest, was successful in avenging the death of his father and in becoming his legitimate successor.
Horus was usually represented as a falcon, and one view of him was as a great sky god whose outstretched wings filled the heavens; his sound eye was the sun and his injured eye the moon.
In particular, it is said that Horus is the basis for the elements assigned to the M Gospel (the bits in Matthew which are not in the Q Gospel or Mark) and the L Gospel (the bits in Luke which are not in the Q gospel or Mark), especially the infancy narratives.

 Warmaster Horus
Horus was once a great tactition, second only to the Emperor, but he gave his soul and his mind to the foul gods of Chaos, and now his intellegence in battle has given way to a ferocious anger that terrifies his foes, and leaves his enemies bloody and lifeless.
Horus causes terror as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
In Codex Chaos, it states that the Talon of Horus causes fear in all Imperial forces, except for Blood Angels, where it causes hatred, as this was the weapon that killed thier primarch Sanguinius.

 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Ten thousand years ago, when the Emperor first rose to power, the gods of Chaos sent psychic whispers into the hearts and minds of the Space Marines, promising immortality and limitless power.
Many traitors succumbed to the influence of Chaos; indeed, in an apocalyptic civil war known as the HORUS HERESY, fully half of the Space Marines renounced their vows to the Emperor and forswore their allegiance to their Space Marine brethren.
After bitter losses on both sides, the Emperor ultimately crushed the rebellion through an act of supreme sacrifice.
