Primus is the supreme ruler of modrons.
Description
Primus manifests as a gargantuan humanoid rising from a pool of pure energy, or as an androgynous human. In its gigantic form, its right hand is obscured by rainbows (a portal to Arcadia) and its left hand by darkness (a portal to Acheron).
Primus is aware of all modrons, because it is at the top of the hierarchy.
In 4th edition, the modrons are described as "cells" of the unknown being Primus.
Relationships
Primus is the supreme ruler of all modrons. The four secundus modrons report directly to Primus.
One Primus was killed by Orcus using the Last Word, an utterance so powerful that it can destroy deities.
Chourst once visited Mechanus, although he barely survived the encounter; Primus itself showed up to deal with the slaad lord after he had worked enough mayhem and disorder on the orderly plane, and still seeks justice against Chourst.
Realm
Primus resides on the plane of Mechanus, in Regulus, the home of the modrons.
