==Chapter Beliefs==
===Main beliefs===
The Chapter follows the Acheulean Cult. The Acheulean Cult places high emphasis on self-reliance, self-sacrifice and loyalty. The Cult does not tolerate the mutants, the witch and the traitors, although the Chapter uses Librarians, Astropaths and other sanctioned psykers. They prefer close range weapons, mainly flamers and melta weapons. 
===Death and funeral rites===
At death, the battle brother is burned and his ashes are put into funerary urns and placed in the Great Cemetary-Vault of the Chapter.
===Relationships with other Imperium Organisations===
The highly aggressive stance of the Ebon Templars and their zealous cleansing of the mutants, the traitors and the witch has seen them fighting along the Black Templars multiple times, despite that the Chapter uses librarians.
==Chapter Combat Doctrine==
The Chapter uses close combat tactics and prefers flamers and melta weapons. They have also volkite weapons, that are used by the most senior officers or in times of dire need.
==Chapter Geneseed==
The geneseed is stable and uncorrupted. It is believed that their parent Chapter is the Salamanders, as the marines have an ebon black skin colour.
==Chapter Recruitment==
As a crusading fleet, the Chapter recruits from a number of worlds.
==Chapter Appearance==
The Chapter's colours are glossy black armour with white shoulder pads and red details. The Chapter badge is a stylised red cross.
==Chapter Homeworld==
The Chapter Homeworld was the planet of Ggantija, which was destroyed in M33 after an attack of the Word Bearers, who tried to use a similar device to Calth's battle to make the system star go supernova. Although they failed to do so, their plan was partially a success as the homeworld of the Ebon Templars was lost in the solar storms that erupted shortly after.
