Eidolon was a Lord Commander in the Emperor's Children Space Marine Legion.

He was the first Astartes personally promoted to the rank of a Company Commander by Fulgrim, and his rise to the top of the Legion as a Lord Commander was accompanied by the growth of his reputation as a prime example of what it meant to strive to achieve perfection. He was commonly regarded within the Legion as the most proficient of the Lord Commanders, with a combat record that included excellent performance in sieges, holding actions and rapid assaults.1

Eidolon looked to Fulgrim as a father-figure in a particularly intense way, and was subsequently unfailingly loyal to to the Primarch. This, combined with the personality traits that come with overweening arrogance, led to his fall to Chaos during the Horus Heresy.

Some time after the Cleansing of Laeran, Fabius Bile experimented on Eidolon and gave him the ability to yell at a destructive level; this ability presented itself during the Battle of Isstvan Extremis. In light of this, Eidolon may potentially be considered as one of the first Noise Marines.2

The Inquisition have been unable to determine whether or not Eidolon survived the Siege of Terra. Rumours claim that Eidolon is responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of gruesome raids on Imperial worlds in the past ten thousand years, and have suggested he may have served as lieutenant to Abaddon the Despoiler, consort to Queen Sylelle and champion of the Daemon Prince N'Kari. No Inquisitor has yet succeeded in locating the source of these rumours, but without indisputable evidence, the Inquisition will not declare Eidolon deceased.1
