"*There are some things that you should know about my chapter. Back in the day when the Dark Angels were still a legion, we had a wing known as the Dreadwing that specialized in massacres, purges, and Exterminatus actions, using weapons that are the stuff of nightmares. We are the continuation of that wing, for we are the Axe that descends down onto the neck of the wicked. We are death, the destroyer of worlds.*"
—High Seraphim Akira Miktoko
The **Celestial Seraphs** are an unusual Successor Chapter of Space Marines born during the events of the 21st 'Cursed' Founding from the gene-seed of Lion El'Jonson. To many of the scions of the Lion, this chapter of Adeptus Astartes is feared due to the fact that they are unleashed by Supreme Grand Master Azrael whenever word of an Unforgiven chapter falling to the Forces of Chaos reaches his ears. When they are set upon the homeworld or the forces of the fallen chapter, the battle-brothers of the Celestial Seraphs are relentless warriors, as they are bloodthirsty duelists that specialize in close-quarters combat, which is combined with their penchant of unleashing horrific weapons of Mass Destruction during their Exterminatus actions on both enemy planets or during battles against chaos using either their starships or their armored vehicles. Due to their presence, it is said that very few Unforgiven chapters have fallen to the clutches of chaos, as to do so openly would immediately invite their wrath down onto them.

In the case of hunting down the Fallen Angels, the Celestial Seraphs are relentless and unyielding pursuers, as they are known to burn worlds to ash in their wake as they hunt down those that swore themselves to Luther, the Arch-Betrayer and the leader of the Fallen, instead of their beloved father, the Lion of Caliban. In the event that a Fallen Angel falls into the clutches of the Celestial Seraphs' Interrogator-Chaplains, a fate worse than death awaits them, as these Interrogator-Chaplains, while on the outside, cute and appealing, are just as dark and sinister as Master Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai of the Dark Angels himself, as it is said that any of the Fallen Angels that the Celestial Seraphs have captured would rather die than fall into their hands, with rumors spreading that each one of the Celestial Seraphs' Interrogator-Chaplains are rumored to keep their victims alive for weeks on end while undergoing horrific torture.

Hailing from the technologically advanced hive world of Akiba, the Celestial Seraphs live and perform alongside Akiba's masters of music and song as well as their usual role of being masters of unchained destruction, as they act as an idol ensemble and perform for the Hive World's population when they are not engaged in combat. The manufactorum hives of Akiba provide the Chapter with its potent and deadly weapons of war and also the stages for the chapter to perform on and the instruments that they use. Due to this, many imperial pilgrims flock to Akiba to see their favorite Idols perform for them on stage as they wait to visit and worship at the shrines dedicated to both the Emperor and his firstborn son.

## Chapter History

The Celestial Seraphs were raised during the "Cursed" 21st Founding of Space Marine Chapters in the early 36th Millennium as a crusading chapter known as the Shrouded Knights, who were known for their penchant for unchained destruction. The matter of the "curse" pertaining to the exact nature of this Founding has long since become shrouded in secrecy and myth. The various dark ends that have befallen many of this Founding's Chapters have entered both the lore of the Inquisition and the Adeptus Astartes alike. Many consider those Chapters created under the auspices of the "Cursed Founding" as tainted from their very creation.

However, in the case of the Celestial Seraphs, they were looked upon by their fellow Unforgiven chapters as "The Dreadwing reborn" due to their many Exterminatus actions, their brutality, and their constant use of the old Dreadwing's war-chant, "We have come, we are death," which they had adopted as their Chapter's battle cry. Due to this penchant, the Celestial Seraphs were first appointed by Supreme Grand Master Zarathos of the Dark Angels as the designated Executioner chapter for the Unforgiven, the official collective formed from the Dark Angels and their Successor Chapters, with their role being to destroy and purge fallen Dark Angels Successor Chapters.

### First Battle

The Celestial Seraphs would easily step into this new role, as the Celestial Seraphs' first battle as a Space Marine chapter would be their role in the purge of the Traitorous and now-extinct Sable Angels, a fallen Successor Chapter created during that very same founding that had sworn themselves to Slaanesh. As soon as the only Battle Barge of the Chapter at the time, the Avenging Seraph, which was commanded by the Chapter's first High Seraphim, Takashi Nijima, then engaged the fallen successor chapter over their homeworld of Sycorax alongside a Dark Angels taskforce led by the Battle Barge Honored Deeds. The fleet of the Sable Angels, led by their Battle Barge, the Sable Spear, which had been renamed to the Spear of Pleasure due to their devotion to the Dark Prince, then came out to meet them in battle.

While the Dark Angels fleet engaged the Sable Angels above in a void battle, the Celestial Seraphs made landfall near the fortress-monastery of the traitorous chapter, and proceeded to start massacring all of the traitorous serfs in their way as they made their way towards the front gates. There, they would unleash something that cemented their reputation as executioners and scions of the Dreadwing. They then ordered the Avenging Seraph to fire a weapon of unparalleled destruction onto the gates: an Annihilator Cannon, which was a weapon that only a ship such as the legendary Intolerant would have as part of its armament. Now, the Celestial Seraphs had a second model of such a destructive weapon in their arsenal. The result was horrific: of the gate, only a large crater was left, as warp rift had swallowed the entire gate and all those who were on it into the warp, causing them to be torn apart.

Seeing this, the Celestial Seraphs then charged through the breach, butchering and murdering their way through the entire fortress-monastery, until they came to the main hall of the Fortress-Monastery, where they had discovered that the Traitorous Chapter Master of the Sable Angels, Akhilael, was in the process of undergoing apotheosis to become a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh. After a bloody battle that saw nearly a quarter of the entire chapter killed, it was Takashi Nijima who slayed Akhilael, beheading him with the weapon that now symbolized the Celestial Seraphs: the Power Axe of the Dreadbringer himself, Farith Redloss. After the Fortress-Monastery was cleared out, the Celestial Seraphs would retreat to the Avenging Seraph and unleash an Exterminatus action onto Sycorax, destroying the world. The Sable Spear, which was captured by the Dark Angels, would be renamed to the Herald of Destruction and given to the Celestial Seraphs, who would eventually settle on the planet of Akiba.

### Indomitus Crusade and the Introduction of the Primaris

After sustaining heavy losses during the battles of the 13th Black Crusade, the Celestial Seraphs would receive assistance in the form of an Indomitus Crusade taskforce, who supplied the chapter with newly-created Primaris Space Marines and the Technology required to create them. When the Primaris Marines were introduced to the Celestial Seraphs, it was at this time that the Rubicon Primaris was made available for Firstborn Space Marines to be reborn as Primaris Space Marines. So after the Primaris Marines were integrated into the chapter, Akira Miktoko, the current High Seraphim of the Celesital Seraphs, would undergo the Rubicon Primaris himself, becoming a Primaris Space Marine along with his fellow Inner circle Members.

With the integration of the Primaris Space Marine and the new technology into the Celestial Seraphs' army complete, the Chapter would receive a New Flagship as well, that being the Courageous Tyrannis-Class Battleship Axe of Redloss, which would replace the Avenging Seraph as both the Flagship of the 1st Company and the Personal Flagship of the High Seraphim. The Annihilator Cannon of the Avenging Seraph would also be transferred to the Axe of Redloss, as it would be both a ship capable of rending entire bastions to dust and able to take on fleets of lesser starships by itself.

### Formation of the Sentinels of Oblivion

"*We are the Supreme Grand Master's Judgement. We are the axe of the Lion. We are the Sentinels of Oblivion. Let our presence be a warning to those who prey upon the Imperium.*"
—Akira Miktoko upon establishing the Sentinels of Oblivon
After the events of the Arks of Omen Campaign, Akira, under the direction of both current Supreme Grand Master Azrael and the returned Primarch Lion El'Jonson, would create an official collective of Unforgiven Chapters and several trusted minor Adepta Sororitas orders that would be deployed at either the Supreme Grand Master's command or at the Primarch's command. This collective, known as the Sentinels of Oblivion, would be composed of Unforgiven member chapters that could trace back their lineage from the feared Dark Angels Dreadwing formation. Each chapter that is in this collective of destroyers is known for specializing in Extermiantus Actions, Close-Quarters Actions, Seige Warfare, and Armored Warfare. As for the Adepta Sororitas orders, each Sororitas order has sworn oaths to never reveal the secret of the Dark Angels to outsiders except for among themselves and their fellow Sentinels of Oblivion member organizations.

## Chapter Homeworld

The Celestial Seraphs' homeworld is the bustling civilized world of Akiba, a death world known for its highly advanced civilization, its deep forests, its unceasing typhoons and storms, and its vibrant culture. The planet's capital Hive City, Tanoshinde, is a sprawling hive metropolis that is ruled by the Adeptus Mechanicus Techguilds of Akiba, and it is filled with neon signs, holographic billboards, bustling streets, and flashy, technicolor storefronts. Brought into compliance during the Great Crusade by a Dark Angels Fleet under Master Alajos of the 9th Order, the citizens of Akiba celebrate and venerate both the Emperor, as well as their favorite heroes taken from the elaborate tapestry of the Dark Angels, through a combination of elaborate cosplay and stage plays depicting the deeds of The Lion before his disocvery and the Emperor's arrival on Caliban, the destroyed homeworld of the Dark Angels. Due to this practice of cosplaying as Akiba's way of venerating the Emperor and his Firstborn son, cosplay conventions, Idol performances, and competitions are a significant part of Akiba's planetary culture.

The Imperial Cult also plays a huge role in the culture of Akiba, with figures like the God-Emperor of Mankind, Lion El'Jonson, and revered heroes of the Dark Angels like Alajos, Farith Redloss, Haradin, Holguin, and Corswain having shrines and statues dedicated to them, each of which would be adorned with colorful Light-emitting diode (LED) lights and streamers. The Imperial Cult also has influence on both Akiba's Manga Industry and its anime shows, with the *Kaze no Uma* (Steed of the Wind in Akiban Low Gothic), a mythological horse and the storm god of Akiban Mythology, serving as the Akiban representation of the Emperor of Mankind, while the *Kōtei no Raion no Denrei* (Herald of the Emperor's Lion in Akiban Low Gothic) and the *Raion no kōtei* (Emperor's Lion in Akiban Low Gothic) both serving as the Akiban representations of both Master Alajos and Lion El'Jonson, respectively. Both of them are depicted in Akiban Mythology as *Kishi*, the Akiban word for Knight.

### Fortress-Monastery

The Fortress-Monastery of the Celestial Seraphs, the *Tenshi no sentō* (Spire of the Angels in Akiban Low Gothic), started out life as a Fortified Bastion built by the Dark Angels during the Age of Apostasy as part of Tanoshinde. Eventually, after the founding of the Celestial Seraphs, the Bastion would grow and expand to meet the needs of Celestial Seraphs, who would eventually turn the Bastion into a heavily fortified sanctum that was capable of holding the entire chapter. While it has all of the accommodations that a standard Space Marine Chapter would need for its Fortress-Monastery, the *Tenshi no sentō* has large halls, with that serve as the barracks for the Chapter's Serfs, while other halls serve as secondary meeting places for the Chapter Masters who form the Unforgiven, with one hall in particular, the Hall of Redloss, serving as the Council Room for the Sentinels of Oblivion, the first official sub-collective of Dark Angels Successor Chapters under the Unforgiven.

## Chapter Organization

While the Celestial Seraphs organized into Ten Companies as dictated by the Codex Astartes on a surface level, the chapter mostly follows the Hexagrammaton of the Original Dark Angels legion. Due to this, it is common for one to see pre-heresy Dark Angels Symbols on the kneepads or pauldrons of Celestial Seraphs members, including those of the six wings. Additionally, each of the ten companies of Celestial Seraphs are bigger than the standard Codex Astartes Compliant of 100 Battle-Brothers, allowing for more Marines to be deployed in a single conflict.

### Deathwing

The Deathwing Formation of the Celestial Seraphs forms the 1st Company of the Chapter, like in the Dark Angels and most of the Dark Angels' Successor Chapters. This Wing of the Celestial Seraphs serves as the chapter's premier line breakers and also acts as the honor guard formations within the Chapter. Most of the members of the Deathwing are equipped with Terminator armor and often work in tandem with both the chapter's Ironwing and the Dreadwing formations. Most members of the Deathwing wear either Terminator Armor or reinforced Gravis armor (save for the Deathwing Companions, who wear Tacticus Armor). A number of aggressors are present within Deathwing's ranks.

### Ravenwing

The Ravenwing, which forms the 2nd Company of the Chapter like most Dark Angels Successor Chapters, is a highly specialized formation where speed is emphasized over heavy firepower. To this end, all of the marines in the company ride into battle on Bikes or Storm Speeders on land, including specialized vehicles such as the Land Speeder Vengeance. In the air, the Celestial Seraphs' Ravenwing employs both Nephilim and Dark Talon Jetfighters. The warriors that are members of the Ravenwing are the chapter's Outriders, Vehicle Pilots, and its Lion Riders (Black Knights), who form the Ravenwing's inner circle.

### Dreadwing

The Dreadwing is made up of heavy weapons squads that specialize in anti-armor and siege warfare. It includes the Chapter's Devastator squads, Hellblasters, and Eradicator squads. While serving in the Dreadwing, the Astartes master not only the use of the chapter’s heaviest weapons, but also the best and most efficient means of their employment on the various battlefields and against the many enemies of Mankind. This Wing is also responsible for the upkeep and operation of the massive weapons of mass destruction that are fitted on the vessels in the Celestial Seraphs' war fleet. Due to the Celestial Seraphs' lineage that goes back to the Dreadwing, the marines of the Dreadwing have been chosen to spearhead each of the Exterminatus actions.

### Ironwing

Based on mostly the 6th Reserve Company, the Ironwing encompasses all of the chapter’s techmarines, armor and dreadnoughts in every other company. While serving in this Wing, the Seraphs puts their previously gain knowledge of heavy weapons to good use on much larger platforms, such as the Repulsor Executioner and Land Raider. They also learn the basic Rites of Maintenance and Repair and are charged with helping the chapter’s Techmarines with the regular maintenance of both the chapter’s vehicles and fleet. Those who show great promise in the Liturgy of Maintenance are selected to permanently remain within the Ironwing as a Techmarine. Of course these Marines will be sent to the Tech-priests of Mars.

### Firewing

The Firewing specialize in reconnaissance, counter-intelligence, and special operations deep behind enemy lines. As the Chapter's scout company, This Wing is composed of the Chapter's Phobos-armored Marines, the chapter’s Scout Squads, and the Chapter's Invictor Warsuits. It is through the Firewing in which a Celestial Seraph starts his journey. The Firewing itself seeks the destruction of the enemy through the elimination of their command structure and when given free rein upon the field of battle they wage a war of wills, seeking to break the resolve and morale of their enemies rather than mounting an all-out assault. The Sergeants of the 10th Order are all members of the Firewing and train the scouts of the Chapter.

### Stormwing

The Stormwing is the largest of the six wings. Composed of the Chapter's Tactical and Assault squads, as well as its Intercessor, Assault Intercessor, Heavy Intercessor, and Inceptor squads (after their chapter received its share of Primaris reinforcements). This Wing makes up the majority of the marines for most taskforces assigned and created by the Inner Circle. They are, for all intents and purposes the battleline troops of the Chapter. Due to the Unforgiven’s monastic lifestyle, these Marines bear the brunt of the day-to-day maintenance and chores necessary on the Chapter’s vessels.

### Officer Ranks

**High Seraphim - Chapter Master Equivilant.**

### Specialist Units and Formations

#### Deathwing

* **Bladeguard Companions -** These Astartes are warriors who were honor-bound to form the personal bodyguard of the Chapter's officers. Each of the Astartes has taken an oath to lay down their lives before letting harm come to the one they were tasked to protect. Any among the Companions that took a death-blow meant for their charge and survived was granted the right to wear bone-white armor on that spot in recognition of their selfless devotion. The Commanding officers of the Bladeguard Companions were known as **Oathbreakers**.

#### Dreadwing

* **Interemptors** - Even among the ranks of the Dreadwing, the Interemptors, which serve as the Celestial Seraphs' Hellblasters, are a grim breed dedicated to the singular purpose of utterly annihilation. When they attack, they leave behind no trace of their foe and take no trophies or tell no tales of their victories. They are considered the Lion's ultimate sanction and are often equipped with the most devastating -and volatile- of the Chapter's plasma weapons like their Plasma Incinerators. They also use relic weapons such as Plasma Burners and Missile Launchers loaded with Rad Missiles or Stasis Missiles.

## Combat Doctrine

"'*We have come, we are death."*"
—war-chant of the Dreadwing, now the Battle Cry of the Celestial Seraphs
Befitting their roles as the Executioner Chapter of The Unforgiven, the Celestial Seraphs

## Chapter Culture and Beliefs

The Celestial Seraphs believe in honor, loyalty, and brotherhood, much like many of the Dark Angels' successor chapters. And just like the Dark Angels and their successors, the Celestial Seraphs hold the highest reverence for their missing father, Lion El'Jonson, their beloved primarch. Being the designated executioner chapter of the Unforgiven, the Celestial Seraphs see themselves as the Dreadwing reborn, as they were responsible for the purges and the extinction of many fallen successor chapters of the First Legion, with non-corrupted relics being taken from the corpses of dead Chapter Masters.

The Celestial Seraphs, being based on Akiba, a planet of advanced technology and culture, are also expected to be proficient and well-versed in the linguistic, historical, and artistic history of Akiba, their homeworld, and also the lore of Caliban, the destroyed homeworld of the Dark Angels. Other "noble pursuits" of Battle-Brothers include calligraphy, hunting, story-telling, archery, astrology, painting, crafting, weaving, and mastery of the two languages spoken within the chapter, the difficult Akiban Dialect of Low Gothic, and Calibanite, the language of the Unforgiven and the language of Caliban. The Celestial Seraphs are popular musicians and singers among Akiba's people, and as a result, the Celestial Seraphs are known to perform as a collective of Idol Groups and are known for doing plays based on the deeds of the Lion.

## Chapter Gene-Seed

Due to them being a Dark Angels successor chapter, the Gene-Seed of the Celestial Seraphs is noticeably pure. However, being a result of the 'Cursed' Founding, the Celestial Seraphs, like many of the Cursed Founding Chapters, have a unique genetic quirk to them. While a Neophyte looks like a standard Space Marine Scout for the first fifty years in his time as a Celestial Seraph, things change when they receive the rest of the Gene-seed Implants, as the effects of the Cursed Founding become evident as his body starts to change.

When he first enters the Dreadwing as a Devastator Marine, the marine's voice starts to change, lightening in pitch. As this happens, the marine's hair starts to grow out until it reaches his shoulders, with his facial features softening. More changes then happen when the marine joins the 8th Company of the chapter, as his arms and legs thin out and soften up, his chest and rear swells and get rounder, while the marine's midsection and waist turn into an hourglass shape. The final changes occur when the battle-brother becomes a Stormwing tactical marine, as the battle-brother becomes unrecognizable from what he first looked like, as he now possesses a high-pitched voice, a more lithe frame, and a smaller stature than other space marines with smooth skin and a beautiful and cute face. Each member of the Celestial Seraphs is capable of enduring injuries that kill any normal Space Marine just like the Astartes of the Sons of Antaeus, all the while being impeccably beautiful despite getting into horribly disfiguring combat.

### Primarch's Curse: Dark Past

Although only the Kami are aware of the awful truth of the Dark Angels' past, even those that are newly recruited into the chapter possess of a secretive, even introverted nature. The idea that outsiders are not to be trusted is drilled into the recruits from an early stage, and they are tested continuously to ensure their compliance until it becomes second nature. After all, a brother who cannot be entirely trusted to keep the Chapter's secrets is unlikely to advance through its ranks. Although the Celestial Seraphs have fought beside all of the branches of the Imperium's vast military machine, they prefer to stand beside other Space Marines. Many, even brother Astartes, find the Celestial Seraphs aloof and uncommunicative. The Celestial Seraphs, for their part are impatient and unforgiving with strangers who pry into their affairs. In truth, the astartes of the Celestial Seraphs who are aware of the existence of the Fallen are ever watchful for any sign of their activity and will abandon whatever mission they are conducting should they gain any clue that one is nearby.

The Celestial Seraphs are also notoriously intolerant of non-humans, given that they believe it is the duty of the sons of Lion El'Jonson to cleanse the galaxy of the xeno menace, and will often refuse to fight alongside armies that include abhuman warriors or alien races. They are highly suspicious of outsiders to the chapter and often appear unreasonably aloof and intransigent. Their tendency to take up solitary crusades against xenos forces well beyond their scope have won them glorious victories and brought them ignominious defeats, both often earned far from the eyes of their potential allies.

## Notable Members

* **High Seraphim Takashi Nijima -** Takashi Nijima was the 1st High Seraphim of the Celestial Seraphs. Originally known as Master Reideker, a Company Master of the Dark Angels, the new Geneseed Implants that Reideker would receive would change his appearance. Due to Reideker tracing his ancestry back to Supreme Grand Master Farith Redloss, it was decided that upon the founding of the Celestial Seraphs, Takashi, as he was now called, would inherit his Axe. With the Axe, Takeshi would be known as "Headsman" among the Unforgiven and *Shikei shikkō hito* (Akiban for Executioner) among his Celestial Seraphs battle-brothers.
* **High Seraphim Akira Miktoko -** Akira Miktoko is the current High Seraphim of the Celestial Seraphs. Born in Akiba's Tetsu no Tobira Hive, Akira would ascend to the Rank of High Seraphim during the Ramiel Betrayal, in which the former High Seraphim of the Chapter, Toshiro Shinobu, along with his honor guard, would be massacred by Fallen Angels. After Akira, who was Deathwing Grand Master at the time, fought to recover his body, Azrael, who became Supreme Grand Master after the death of Supreme Grand Master Naberius at the hands of the Night Lords Daemon Prince Gendor Skraivok would appoint Miktoko as High Seraphim of the Celestial Seraphs.

## Chapter Relics

* ***Mantle of the Lion*** - An ancient pelt that belonged to one of the Great Beasts of Caliban, a Calibanite Lion, and taken from the corpse of a Fallen Angel. This pelt is worn by the High Seraphim of the Chapter, currently Akira Miktoko.
* ***Axe of the Dreadbringer*** - First belonging to Farith Redloss, the Voted-Lieutenant of the Dreadwing and first Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels, this Power Axe has seen countless heads cleaved from their bodies. Now the symbol of the office of the High Seraphim, the Axe is now used by the High Seraphim to both permanently silence corrupted Unforgiven Chapter Masters after they have been judged guilty and to take the heads of chaos champions.
* ***Death of Worlds*** - This relic sword is pattern-welded from Adamantium fragments collected from the Hive cities of the first world that Eskaton Marduk Sedras of the Dark Angels Legion utterly destroyed. More fragments are added to the blade's length with each destroyed world and by the end of the Great Crusade, it had grown so long that only the strongest could bear it into combat. The blade would become one of the most devastating relics the Dark Angels Legion possessed as it delivered the ultimate destruction of the Dreadwing. The blade carries the curse of a thousand Dead Worlds, and in battle, its ragged edge tears apart its victims with a vicious spite with every swing. It is now wielded by Serizawa Kitagawa, the current chapter champion of the Celestial Seraphs.

## Chapter Appearance

### Chapter Colours

The Celestial Seraphs wear mostly white power armor, which symbolizes both physical and spiritual purity in Akiban Culture. The pink that the Celestial Seraphs wear on both their kneepads, shoulderpads, and sabatons is an homage to the Sakura Trees that are deeply intertwined in Akiban culture. The Silver trim that the Celestial Seraphs wear is an homage to the Dark Angels, their primogenitor chapter.

### Chapter Badge

The Celestial Seraphs' symbol is a variation of the Symbol of their Parent Chapter, the Dark Angels, except that this variant of the Dark Angels' Winged Sword has Six Wings sprouting from it instead of the usual two wings. The wings of the badge symbolize both a Seraphim, a type of Angel from Ancient Terran mythology that had six wings instead of the usual two, and the ancient Hexagrammaton of the old Dark Angels Legion, which was comprised of six wings.
