"*Luther's betrayal damned our legion to hell and back. The reason why we fight for the Imperium and against our fallen brothers is to absolve this horrid mark on our Legion and redeem ourselves in the eyes of the Emperor.*"
—Supreme Grand Master Azrael, Leader of the Unforgiven
The **Unforgiven** are a scattered Demi-Legion created by loyalist members of the Dark Angels Space Marine Legion. Led by those that supported the Lion, the Unforgiven strive to redeem their broken legion and themselves by hunting down the Chaos-tainted Dark Angels, known to them as The Fallen Angels, across space and time. The reason they call themselves the Unforgiven is due to the events surrounding the mortal wounding of their primarch at the hands of Luther, the current leader of the Dark Angels, and a large contingent of the original Dark Angels Legion that turned to Chaos at the end of the Dornian Heresy.

Luther and the Lion dueled upon the surface of the Dark Angels' original homeworld of Caliban where Luther used the powers of Chaos to assault his former friend. However, Luther repented upon seeing the Lion mortally wounded and dying at his feet. In their rage at yet another defeat, the Ruinous Powers initiated a massive Warp Storm that tore Caliban apart and transported Loyalist Dark Angels alike throughout space and time after drawing them into the Warp.

The officers and highest-ranking Veteran Space Marines of the Unforgiven, known as the "Inner Circle," swear an oath that they will never again know the forgiveness of the Emperor of Mankind for the Ist Legion's disloyalty and heresy during the Dornian Heresy until every Fallen Angel has repented their crime in front of the Demi-Legion's Interrogator-Chaplains or received the Emperor's Peace.

However, the Unforgiven who have learned of this secret will pursue this quest at the exclusion of all other duties, even in their defense of the Imperium. Due to this obsession, some in the Inquisition have begun to fear for the Unforgiven's loyalty as there have been instances where they've even disobeyed a direct order of the High Lords of Terra. Due to this secret, the Unforgiven do not mix openly with Loyalist Space Marine Legions outside of each other and their allies in the Iron Templars. In turn, the Unforgiven are deeply distrustful of the Inquisition, for they will do anything to avoid having their secret shame discovered by outsiders, and ferreting out secrets is the sole reason for the Inquisition's existence.

The Demi-Legion is currently led by Supreme Grand Master Azrael and his council known as The Round Table, formed from the Grand Masters of each Successor Legion.

## History

The now-renamed Unforgiven stand first amongst the Space Marine Legions, as they have done since their very inception as the Ist Legion. They are a proud Legion, with traditions and rituals that date back to the earliest days of the Imperium of Man.

The origins of the Unforgiven Demi-Legions remain shrouded in mystery. Few Imperial records of its beginnings still exist, nor are there many mentions of the part it played in the Emperor's Great Crusade during the late 30th and early 31st Millennia.

Most references in the histories of the Imperium to its deeds during the accursed times of the galaxy-wide insurrection known as the Dornian Heresy have actually been expunged.

Yet a legend persists that at one point the Dark Angels, as the Unforgiven were once known as, teetered on the very brink of heresy and that an act of the most terrible betrayal dishonoured all of the Ist Legion's feats of valour, leaving an enduring stain upon all of its Successor Chapters' honour.

### Destruction of Caliban

The Unforgiven can trace back their history back to after the end of the Dornian Heresy when the Dark Angels allied with Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the traitor Imperial Fists Legion, fought against the Dark Angels led by Lion El'Johnson. In the aftermath of the Dornian Heresy, the surviving Loyalists rallied the reeling Imperium. The Dark Angels of Luther took a significant part in these battles, which later came to be called the Great Scouring. As they pursued the rebellious Legions and Traitor Dark Angels, the Legion diverted their attention to nearby homeworld of Caliban, which had been enshrouded by Warp Storms since Horus' betrayal.

For Lion El'Jonson and his followers, one final act of treachery remained to be discovered. Upon the Dark Angels' arrival in orbit, they were fired upon from the surface. Pulling back the Legion fleet, El'Jonson tried to find out what had happened, and discovered that Luther, Jonson's second-in-command, had become embittered by what he perceived as El'Jonson always taking all the glory. Knowing the hearts of men, Luther utilised his superb oratory, and poisoned the minds of the Dark Angels garrison and the new recruits that had been left on the planet against their primarch.

Correctly believing that Luther and the large garrison of planet-side Dark Angels had actually been tainted by Chaos, an infuriated El'Jonson ordered that Caliban be bombarded from orbit, destroying the planet's defenses. El'Jonson then led his forces to the surface and assaulted the Order's ancient fortress-monastery, where he confronted Luther in single combat. Luther, transformed into a Chaos Champion by the power of the Chaos Gods, was now evenly matched in strength with the enraged primarch. The battle between the two levelled the Order's fortress-monastery as the planet was coming apart around them, the orbital bombardment taking a heavy toll on the surface.

El'Jonson managed to wound Luther, but could not bring himself to kill the man who had been his brother and mentor. Luther lashed out with a powerful sorcerous attack that mortally wounded the primarch. As he saw what he had done, Luther felt a veil lift from his eyes, and the Chaos Gods -- seeing that once again their chosen Champion had failed to defeat the lackeys of the Emperor of Mankind -- lashed out with the powers of the Warp. Both the followers of Luther, the Fallen Angels or just "the Fallen," and the followers of El'Jonson, were scattered throughout all of space, and Caliban tore itself apart under the strain of the Ruinous Powers' assault. The only portion of the planet remaining intact was the rock on which stood the fortress-monastery in which Luther and the Lion had duelled. The Fallen Angels entered their shattered monastery and helped up Luther; of El'Jonson himself, however, there was no sign.

### Age of the Imperium

The aftermath of the Dornian Heresy was a time of great mistrust. On Terra, the Emperor's silenced body was sustained only by the life-giving machineries of the Golden Throne. The newly envisioned realm of Mankind was now governed in the Emperor's name by the High Lords of Terra. Their first orders were to seek out the hidden roots of the rebellion, to search for collaborators, and to follow up on the retreat of the Traitor Legions that had joined the treacherous Warmaster Rogal Dorn in his betrayal.

All across the Imperium, a tangled web of suspicion hung over everything, misdoubts that were only made worse as further investigations revealed yet deeper corruption. Thus began the Age of the Imperium, an era steeped in paranoia, recriminations and vengeance. It was in this new age of fear and doubt that the remaining loyalist Dark Angels assembled to pay tribute to their lost primarch. Internalising their grief, the Dark Angels pulled together, their masters forming a plan of action. They were still the Sons of the Lion -- tenacious warriors who, once stirred to action, were never short of zeal. In a way, the Dark Angels were born again, single-mindedly rededicating their lives to the service of the Imperium.

### The Inner Circle

With their beloved primarch missing and their battle-brothers on Caliban having betrayed them to Chaos, a contingent of the Loyalist Dark Angels scattered throughout space and time had managed to come together and regrouped on the planet of Camelot, swearing to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Emperor and force the Fallen to repent or die. They decided the true story of the destruction of Caliban must remain a closely-guarded secret; no outsider must learn of the schism that had shattered the Ist Legion, or that any Dark Angels had ever turned to the service of the Ruinous Powers. Should the truth be revealed, the remaining Dark Angels feared that they would be labelled *Excommunicate Traitoris* and never given a chance to redeem themselves. The remaining senior members of the Legion formed a secret conclave -- an Inner Circle of the Legion's highest ranking members.

They created an overlapping system to watch over their own battle-brothers, and also themselves. Everyone must be scrutinized for signs of corruption. Thus started a spiral of mistrust and secrecy that continues to this day.

Such was the scale of the disaster of the Destruction of Caliban that there could be no hiding it. Psykers across the galaxy had sensed the Warp Storm that ripped the world apart, and the titanic flash of the tempest meeting the indomitable force field surrounding the Dark Angels' fortress-monastery had blazed like a supernova. However, the loyalist Dark Angels erected a systematic cover-up of the truth, for each remaining battle-brother of the former Ist Legion had taken stringent vows of unspeakable binding to never reveal what really took place on Caliban.

Their story might not have held up under an intense inquiry, but it was a time of great upheaval in the Imperium and the retreating Traitor Legions were bolder near the Eye of Terror: the traitorous Carcharodons Warband, in particular, laid many ambushes that took a high toll on their Imperial pursuers. That a Warp Storm had claimed the Dark Angels' homeworld, and so many of their brethren, was but another tragedy in a deluge of grim tidings. The Loyalist Dark Angels split their remaining Legion fleet in an attempt to answer the many distress calls that reached them. In the Cadian Sector they joined the Iron Warriors, themselves still reeling from the loss of their Primarch Perturabo, who died during the Siege of Terra.

Together, they drove both Traitor Marines and Daemons alike into exile. On the planet of Seption Prime, Loyalist Deathwing companies arrived just in time to provide a rearguard action, allowing the Emperor's Children to extract their forces before that Plague Planet lost to the pestilential whims of Nurgle was destroyed by *Exterminatus*. All who fought alongside the Dark Angels lauded them as steadfast warriors, utterly dedicated to the destruction of the Emperor's enemies.

Upon their return to their newly constructed fortress-monastery, The Fortress of The Angels, the much-depleted Dark Angels forces found disturbing news. At the time of the Destruction of Caliban, the Dark Angels thought that all of their traitorous brethren had all been destroyed, vanquished in the Warp Storm that blossomed in the death throes of their homeworld. Some of the Fallen had also been swept into the vortex of that horrific rent in the galaxy, but the fury of the Dark Gods had not slain them. The scryings of the depleted Legion's Librarians searched long and hard for their missing primarch and of him they could read or find no signs. They did, however, pick up traces of the Fallen and determined that the Traitors yet lived, although what remained of their psychic signatures were widespread, and the connections were already fading out of mindsight.

### The Hunt Begins and Reformation into the Unforgiven

The masters of the former Ist Legion greeted this new shock with typical stoicism, despite the inner turmoil it created. On the one hand, they feared their nightmare and heresy by association would be revealed -- that while the Fallen lived, knowledge of their Legion's treachery against the Emperor might be spread throughout the galaxy. On the other hand, the continued existence of the Traitors offered hope, for if the Renegades could be tracked down and forced to repent, then the sins of the Legion might be absolved, washed away in the blood of the Fallen Angels. The Grand Masters of the nascent Inner Circle swore that so long as even one of the Fallen remained alive and unrepentant, the Dark Angels would be Unforgiven, cursed by their brothers to atone for all eternity. Due to this, the remaining Dark Angels renamed their Legion to the Unforgiven, and thus, the Unforgiven were born.

So began the secret mission that would prove the driving force behind the Unforgiven's and their successors' actions for millennia to come. To this day, the Unforgiven and their Successor Legions continue to wage a war of repentance to wipe this secret stain from the honor of the old Ist Legion. They can never truly rest until every one of the Fallen has been eliminated. The Unforgiven hold the duty of capturing, reddeming or killing the Fallen as their most important duty, superseding all other necessities. There have been cases where Astartes of the Unforgiven have literally left the battlefield in the middle of combat against the Emperor's foes in order to chase down a suspected sighting of a Fallen Angel.

### A Second Founding

Many changes were happening within the Imperium during these darksome days. Although Dorn had been defeated and the remaining Traitor Legions driven into the Eye of Terror in event known as the Great Scouring, the High Lords of Terra and the remaining primarchs still dreaded the resurgence of Chaos. They had all recoiled in horror at the full realisation of how insidious the betrayal had been, how far across the galaxy the roots of corruption had spread. Never again could the Imperium be subjected to such widespread rebellion; drastic measures had to be undertaken. To avoid the threat of the Unforgiven from falling under the influence of the enemy and worse, Chaos, they would have to be sub divided into smaller Legion-sized groups known as Demi-Legions.

Before the Dornian Heresy, the Dark Angels Legion counted two hundred thousand or more warriors under a single command, then their numbers dropped to fifty thousand after the majority of the Original Dark Angels Legion betrayed them, but under the new structure, each Demi-Legion's size was limited to only five thousand transhuman warriors. The organisation, tactics and roles of the new "Demi-Legions" were defined in the sacred tome of tactical knowledge known as the *Codex Angeli*, created by the highest-ranking Leaders of the Unforgiven. The book, in its entirety, laid out in painstaking detail the order of battle for a standard Demi-Legion as well as the tactics and strategies required to meet almost every combat situation.

These proscriptions not only lessened the risks of a single Traitor once more using the power of the Astartes to assault the Imperium, but also allowed the limited number of Space Marines remaining after the Dornian Heresy to be more flexible and more spread out across the galaxy to confront Mankind's many remaining enemies. The first act of creating smaller, more versatile Demi-Legions out of the remaining Dark Angels loyalists was known to them as the "Second Founding," and the new Demi-Legions were known as Successors of the original Dark Angels Legion.

Although autonomous, the Successor Legions naturally claimed close ties to the original legion which retained the original name and traditions of their originating Legion, and this proved especially true with the Dark Angels. It is unknown exactly how many were created, as some of the Successor Legions have since been destroyed and the records of that time have been lost. The Dark Angels acquiesced to the order of their ruling council to split into Successor Legions, as doing otherwise would have raised suspicion at a time when they could ill-afford any scrutiny. From the remnants of the Ist Legion, they formed the Blades of Caliban, the Lion's Brotherhood and the Black Knights, each new Legion led by its own Grand Master.

While maintaining the façade of full autonomy, the leaders of the Unforgiven Demi-Legions regularly met, in clandestine fashion, to take their lead from the Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels Successor Legion -- for although they had been divided by both policy and Chaos, the Astartes of the Successor Legions too had witnessed the Fall of Caliban, and thus remained Unforgiven in the sight of the Emperor.

## Organization

The Unforgiven do not only share the secret of the Fallen's existence with their progenitors; they also share a common military organisation and order of battle that closely mirrors that of the Dark Angels' unorthodox structure. Each Unforgiven Successor Legion is governed by a secretive Inner Circle of officers who make use of the same titles as the Traitorous Dark Angels and each usually maintains company formations that are identical in doctrine and composition, though not necessarily name, to the Dark Angels' old Hexagrammaton formations.

Because of their shared secret, all of the Unforgiven Chapters maintain an unusual level of coordination with one another as they seek out leads on their Fallen Angel targets. It is not unknown for the Supreme Grand Masters of all the Unforgiven Chapters to gather at relatively regular intervals for secret convocations at the Fortress of the Angels, the fortress-monastery located on the feudal world of Camelot, which has been forged from many of the rocks of all that remained of their lost homeworld, Caliban.

## Notable Unforgiven Demi-Legions

When the remnants of the Dark Angels split into Successor Legions after the Dornian Heresy as recounted above, they formed three new Successor Legions, but more are rumored to exist. Although frequently passed over in subsequent Space Marine Foundings, the Unforgiven have periodically been requested to give gene-seed to found new Successor Legions of the Adeptus Astartes. The Loyalist Dark Angels' Successor Legions collectively call themselves the Unforgiven, for their own Inner Circles are fully aware of the ancient Ist Legion's checkered history and they, too, seek to absolve themselves of their ancient failure and betrayal.

As noted, each Unforgiven Demi-Legion follows the Dark Angels tactical organisation almost exactly, though they are not always named as such. The Unforgiven coordinate their actions, and it is not unknown for the Supreme Grand Masters of all the Unforgiven Demi-Legions to gather for regular summit meetings at The Fortress of The Angels, often to discuss their progress in the hunt for the Fallen.

Although duty-bound to run their Demi-Legions autonomously, it is strongly suspected by some within the Imperium, especially those in the Inquisition, that the Dark Angels' Successor Legions show too much deference to the Supreme Grand Master of their originating Legion. It is, at least partially, this rumour of forbidden "Legion-building" that often persuades the High Lords of Terra to overlook the Dark Angels gene-seed when seeking to create new Foundings.

* **The Dark Angels** - The Dark Angels Successor Legion are the loyalist inheritors of the former Ist Legion's name, iconography, mantle and traditions. As the custodians of The Fortress of The Angels, built from some of the last remnants of lost Caliban in the universe, the Dark Angels are automatically looked upon as the leaders of the former Dark Angels Legion and current leaders of the Unforgiven. The wishes of the Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels can sometimes be decisive in determining the course of action undertaken by the other Unforgiven, especially in the hunt for the larger Fallen Angels force led by Luther.
* **Blades of Caliban** - The Blades of Caliban, formerly the Angels of Absolution, have fought throughout the known galaxy, usually alongside the Dark Angels Successor Legion as they participated in joint operations, including the Crusade against the Ork empire of Charadon, the Battle of Archangel VII, and the suppression of the Rasputin Uprisings. A close kinship exists between the Angels of Absolution and The Dark Angels in terms of doctrine and temperament. Only the emphasis placed on the Demi-Legion's guilt regarding the Fallen differs between the two Chapters' teachings. By their forefathers' actions in the Fall of Caliban, the Blades of Caliban consider their own sins forgiven. Even though the Blades of Caliban fear no damnation, they still believe they must punish the traitorous Fallen. In the wake of Sigismund's Latest Assault, the Blades of Caliban are determined to stopping the 13th Black Crusade from succeeding. All ten battalion-companies of the Demi-Legion are deployed throughout the Eye of Terror in order as to contain its effects. Several Fallen chapters have been confirmed to exist among the forces of Chaos emerging from the Eye with Sigismund and the Black Legion, formerly the Imperial Fists, according to the Blades of Caliban.
* **The Phoenix Knights** - Although it has been noted that the Demi-Legion has withdrawn from campaigns on occasion to pursue its undisclosed objectives, nothing can deter the Phoenix Knights from pursuing the fallen. As the Orks' launched their final assault on Gaitlinghive, the Phoenix Knights, formerly known as Angels of Redemption, redeployed during the height of its defense. Seven brigades of Gaitlinghive militia were left alone to face a horde of three million Orks. The Knights were never held accountable since no one survived. As the Knights themselves embarked on a hunt that culminated in the capture of a Fallen Angel the victory was worth the lives of the Gaitlinghive militia and the civillian population of the hive city. This incident, and similar events, led Imperial forces to decline The Phoenix Knights' aid. Inquisitorial censure and excommunication are possibilities, depending on the Demi-Legion's actions in the years to come.
* **Black Knights** - The deeds of the Black Knights, formerly known as the Angels of Defiance, are even less well-known than those of the other Unforgiven Chapters, for they shun the fame and laurels of their other loyalist counterparts, instead concentrating on their duties to the exclusion of all else. They are a grim and dour organization, with all of their companies wearing jet black power armor. This is a tribute to the panopoly worn by the original Dark Angels Legion which they were once part of, when they first set out from Terra on the Great Crusade in ca. 800.M30.
* **Silver Templars** - The Silver Templars are a monastic Demi-Legion of Loyalist Space Marines whose mysterious origins may go back to the bygone days of the Second Founding during the 31st Millennium. It is unknown which Unforgiven Demi-Legion they were known as, though the Silver Templars themselves believe they are descended from the now extinct Angels of Vigilance Demi-Legion. They have stood silent vigil over the Eye of Terror as sentinels against the encroaching forces of Chaos for nearly ten millennia if the rumors about their origins are true.
* **Baleful Paladins** - No record of the Baleful Paladins Demi-Legion exists prior to the third century of the 40th Millennium. The Chapter's first appearance is in the works of the field notary Corwen Quilp, in his account of the Second Kuppukin Schism. The Baleful Paladins Demi-legion, once known as the Consecrators, were deployed in their entirety to support Loyalist Forces during this terrible war. In spite of never answering friendly transmissions, the Baleful Paladins launched an immediate attack on the enemy and within six hours, they had wiped out the schismatists' entire high command structure, ending the rebellion. Once their task was completed, the Demi-Legion withdrew, not to be seen again until its 4th Company fought alongside the Dark Angels during the Arrulas Intervention three decades later. Despite his vague descriptions of the Baleful Paladins. Quilp is very specific about one aspect of their appearance: they carried all manner of sacred relics, and possessed ancient Imperial armor, weapons and vehicles. Quilp commented that the Baleful Paladins had inherited the most revered arms of the ancient Ist Legion, preserving them and carrying them down the ages against the foes of the Lion and the Emperor.
* **The Shrouded Snakes** - There is controversy surrounding the founding of the Shrouded Snakes, which used to be known as the Disciples of Caliban. Anaziel, the Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels, reportedly requested that a Demi-Legion be raised late in the 37th Millennium by the High Lords of Terra. It was highly unusual for a Chapter Master to make such a request, but it eventually was granted and the Shrouded Snakes were formed. For Anaziel to accomplish such a feat, some have suggested he must have had some kind of leverage over at least one High Lord. Dark Angel gene-seeds from the Snakes' Founding Generation were of the highest pedigree, scrutinised to standards beyond even the Adeptus Terra's requirements. To this day, the purity of the Chapter's gene-seed is constantly monitored for the slightest sign of corruption or genetic degradation, and it has the most exacting standards of recruitment of any of the Unforgiven Chapters. There have been whispers that Anaziel had the Shrouded Snakes created to fulfill a specific purpose, often rumoured amongst the other Unforgiven to be the capture of the Renegade known as Cypher. The Shrouded Snakes are fleet-based, which has greatly aided the rapidity with which they can traverse the Imperium. Their flagship houses great reliquaries celebrating the success of their forebears. Each company has several Relic Bearers who carry the Chapter's most sacred artefacts to war to inspire the brethren. The most precious of these relics is the *Lionus Censum*, an immense scroll that details the names and deeds of the Demi-Legion's most decorated battle-brothers.
* **Dark Lions** - It is not known from what Founding the Dark Lions came, only that they too are part of the Unforgiven. Their adopted homeworld, Mortikah VII, lies near the western rim of the Imperium, and their mountain-top fortress-monastery takes the form of a mighty Imperial cathedral, its great spire piercing the clouds. The Dark Lions, formerly known as the Guardians of the Covenant, have fought most of their battles within Segmentum Pacificus. They are known to have spearheaded a number of Imperial Crusades into the Halo Stars and the Veiled Region. The Dark Lions gained special honours for their deeds during the Lelith Incursion, when they saved an entire Sub-sector from a particularly appalling brand of xenos subjugation. The Chapter is known for its exceptionally monastic character. True warrior-monks of the Emperor, they are assiduous in studying the teachings of the Emperor and of their primarch. Their banners, armour and the flanks of their vehicles are covered in spidery, handwritten and illuminated High Gothic text extracted from the pages of the *Codex Angeli*, the *Requiem Angelis* and many other tomes held sacred by the Adeptus Astartes.

## Legion Appearance

### Legion Colours

The Unforgiven primarily wear dark green coloured battle-plate with white trim. Not long after the Legion's Primarch was reunited with the warriors of the Ist Legion, a wedge began to be driven between the Calibanite Dark Angels and their Terran-born brethren. On the right shoulder plates of the Calibanite Dark Angels, where normally a Space Marine's organizational and rank markings would be painted, they were authorized to wear the personal heraldry of their respective knightly orders. On their left shoulder pauldrons, El'Jonson had decreed that the Legion's Calibanite Astartes were to wear the dark green of their homeworld's forests as an act of remembrance of the battles fought to tame their homeworld under the leadership of the Lion. After the Heresy, the bulk of the Legion still wears the original sable color borne by their ancient predecessors, with the exception of the elite Deathwing, who instead wear bone-white, in solemn remembrance of the Deathwing Squad that saved Plain's World.

Veteran Unforgiven are commonly found wearing white hooded cloaks and tabards; this symbolises their shame over what the Luther and the Fallen had done during the heresy. Cloaks and hoods are worn by the Veteran Unforgiven and the Demi-Legions' Inner Circles because they have learned enough about the Dark Angels' history, and thus their shame, prior to obtaining their rank within the Legion.

### Legion Badge

The Unforgiven badge is a white, painted variant of the crimson-colored winged sword, which is the ancient icon of The Order, the group of knights from which their primarch, Lion El'Jonson, was raised in and the order from which their arch-betrayer, Luther came from. Variants of this symbol exist for the Unforgiven's loyalist versions of the Deathwing and Ravenwing Companies.
