Primus
The history of Primus, like the history of the modrons, is possibly as old as the planes themselves. It may be that the modrons shaped the gears of Mechanus in the Age before Ages, or that the gears of Mechanus shaped the modrons from the stuff of pure Law. It's suggested that the first modrons might have been proto-inevitables who learned to store energy in a central pool of energy, or that they were creatures of pure geometry that the plane of Mechanus slowly transformed into constructs.
For eons Primus existed at the hub of the central cog of Regulus, the supreme intelligence of the modron race. If by some calamity Primus was destroyed, a secundus modron was immediately promoted to replace it. However, in this time of transition, while the new Primus examined the state of the planes and its race, some chaos would enter the modron species, something that other races sometimes mistook for civil war.
For as long as records have been kept, Primus would call forth a Great Modron March every seventeen cycles of Regulus's largest gear (each cycle lasting 17 years by Ionnarus reckoning). During the Great Modron March, "thousand upon thousands" of modrons would transverse every outer plane in the Great Wheel, trampling those who got in its way, with those few who survived the journey reporting to Primus on what they had witnessed. Some believe the March has no purpose other than to temporarily bring a modron's vision of order to every plane, while others believed the purpose was simply to destroy as many modrons as possible and thereby renew the modron race.
