I feel like it's a character that controls more than one faction. Fits Girlyman, Silent King, and Abbadon, but not so much Mortarion and Magnus.
Space Marine Chapter Master feels beneath this designation. It's actually a relatively small force they are in charge of. Dante I guess counts as he's in charge of half the Imperium. Mortarion at least it's implied to have a much more Great Crusade level legion in tact (not sure what shape modern day thousand sons are in). However rather low on the totem pole Imperial Guard general would be in charge of millions often from different factions with in the Guard.
I won't be surprised if GW throws a Lion under the bus again, keeps him being an Incel deep in the rock, and brings back one of the other lost, "dead", or even legit dead Primarchs back instead.
I agree. I was making an exception for Dante as like you said, he's running the "Dark Imperium". I can also see "Supreme Commander" as an upgrade for Daemon Princes aside from Daemon Primarchs. Depends on what GW is doing with the ability before we can really judge who else would be "eligible".
If a new primarch comes around, it should be someone who doesn't like Girlyman very much (but not to the point they're willing to fuck the imperium over) and has actual power (not shards of chapters). Russ or Dorn are good candidates in that regard, each having a lot of interesting interaction with the new imperium. Though Dorn is probably best, while Guilliman ended up accepting the new imperium, Dorn will not yield on what happened to it.
If anyone else returns, it's going to be Vulcan. The bright, noble and inclusive era of NuHammer needs a big, greed, friendly mascot to appropriately represent this new shift in the philosophical approach to the narrative/setting.
