Vulkana is the Primarch of the Dragon Warriors Space Marine Legion, renamed the Salamanders, and one of the twenty Female Primarchs created by the Emperor before the Great Crusade. As with all the Primarchs, Vulkana inherited an aspect of her father. However for her this was the unique ability of being a perpetual, making her essentially immortal. Vulkana was able to regenerate fully from any injury, including a death that would vaporize her completely. This ability was unknown to her until the Horus Heresy. During the Great Crusade, Vulkana gained a reputation among its participants for her unusual empathy for a primarch towards average Humans as well as her extraordinary ability to craft unique and powerful items of advanced technology.
