Many even voluntarily accept extensive levels of augmentation, although aesthetically choose to remain human in overall appearance.House ColdshroudUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is little information in regards to this Imperial Knight House. The only thing that is known about them, is that they have remained steadfast with their alliance with the Legio Gryphonicus Titan Legion.House CurtanaKarastusQuestor MechanicusThere is little information on this knightly house in official Imperial records. House Curtana hails from the Knight World of Karastus.House DegallioAlaric PrimeQuestor ImperialisHouse Degallio is an old and prominent knightly household that was once led by Neru Degallio, a master of scores of Knights and Nobles. Neru was feared and respected in equal measure. For much of his life, Neru enjoyed only success and glory. That came to end with the arrival of the Red WAAAGH! in 998.M41, and the doom of his house. His losses would drive Neru and his Knight, the White Warden, onto the path of the Freeblade.House DonarMolechQuestor ImperialisHouse Donar was one of several ancient Knight households that hailed from the world of Molech.

House Durbach gives its direct fealty to the Adeptus Mechanicus.House FeardrakenUnknownQuestor ImperialisThe Knights of House Feardraken come from a water-locked world, where in ancient days they were forced to battle giant sea creatures to protect the lives of their people. In an effort to strike fear into the hearts of their foes, the Knights would later adopt the name of the creatures they battled: thus House Feardraken was born.House FvaberUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is little information in regards to this Imperial Knight House. The only thing that is known about them, is that they have remained steadfast with their alliance with the Legio Gryphonicus Titan Legion.House GriffithDragon's EndQuestor ImperialisThe Knights of House Griffith are consummate warriors, having earned their bloody reputation across battlefields uncounted. Deadly with blade and cannon, they are amongst the boldest ever to sit the Throne Mechanicum, each striving to maintain their legacy of martial excellence.House HasburgUnknownQuestor ImperialisHouse Hasburg is a hidebound knightly house, whose days are almost wholly consumed tending to the obscure and esoteric tenets of tradition. At the dawn of every day the entire court must gather to hear the reading of the names and deeds of every ruler of the house; there are hundreds of names, and the process takes up most of the local day.House HawkshroudKrastellanQuestor ImperialisTo the Noble Knights of Hawkshroud, honour is the single most important virtue of all. So essential to their way of life is the esteem and reputation of their house that Hawkshroud's Knights will honour any call to arms from those that have earned their loyalty or respect.House HawkwoodUnknownQuestor MechanicusThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, and it is unknown from which Knight World it hails.House HelmastAlaric PrimeQuestor ImperialisThere is little information in regards to this Imperial Knight House in official Imperial records, other than that they hail from the Feudal World of Alaric Prime in the Sanctus Reach.House HermetikaKaldeiaQuestor MechanicusThe closeness of their homeworld with the Forge World of Mezoa in the Gothic Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus has naturally led the Knight House to align itself to the Adeptus Mechanicus rather than directly to the Imperium of Man, although House Hermetika's strength and wisdom is such that it has escaped the strict tenures of the Sidon Protocols. For millennia House Hermetika has remained a faithful ally to the Forge World of Mezoa rather than its vassal.House HyperionUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight house, and it is unknown from which Knight World it hails.House IlliusVorinthQuestor ImperialisIn 544.M32, an Ork WAAAGH! of unprecedented scale sweeps into Imperial space. Hundreds of worlds are devastated before the Ork menace is finally defeated.

Though they fight bravely, the Knights of Houses Illius and Nero are impossibly outnumbered and die to the last in combat with the all-conquering Orks.House IndraMolechQuestor ImperialisHouse Indra was one of several ancient Knightly Households that hailed from the world of Molech. They formerly served as the wardens of the vast swamplands of the Southern Steppes of the continent of Molechari.

They originated from the Kasha Peninsula close to the westernmost point of the continent of Molechari. Living by a different set of codes than their upstart high-born kin, Kaska Scions had to prove their skills and mettle as warriors. They did not care for pomp and circumstance and had little patience with ceremony and the trappings of the Molechian nobility. Like several of their fellow Loyalist Knight Households, Kaska was utterly annihilated by the Traitor Legions and their Traitor Titan Legio allies at the Battle of Molech during the middle years of the Horus Heresy.House KaushikMolechQuestor ImperialisHouse Kaushik was one of several ancient Knight households that hailed from the world of Molech.

Chrysis and its Nobles are among the longest-serving allies of the Imperium.

They originated from the northern seas and archipelagos of their home world, this Knight Household are descended from the explorers, seafarers and corsairs of ancient times. Their Knight Scions were adept at commanding the fleets of Mamaragon in battle and are just at home on the rolling deck of a war barge as they are on dry land. In fact, many of the Scions still believed in the piratical ways of their forebears and adhered to their more flexible codes of honour and concept of allies. Unlike several of their fellow Loyalist Knight Households, Mamaragon was one of the few Knight Households to survive the Battle of Molech during the Horus Heresy, and helped play an instrumental role in helping to rebuild their world following the end of the Great Scouring.House MegronUnknownUnknownThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, and it is unknown from which Knight World it hails. During the Horus Heresy, it took part in the Battle of Tallarn and the Battle of Beta-Garmon, where it provided Knight support to the Legio Solaria.House MiranorUnknownUnknownThere is little information on this knightly house in official Imperial records. The Freeblade known as the Hour of Reckoning was once a Noble of House Miranor. This Knight bore the Icon Incognitus, the stylised "X" that represents anonymity, upon his faceplate to show his hatred for House Miranor.

Choosing the path of the Freeblade, he cast off the distinctive golden faceplate of Miranor and replaced it with a sable Icon Incognitus.House MoritainUnknownUnknownHouse Moritain povided support to the Legio Astraman at the Battle of Beta-Garmon during the Horus Heresy.House MortanKimdariaQuestor ImperialisThe antecedents of House Mortan settled the inhospitable world of Kimdaria, the Black Planet, during the early stages of the Age of Strife. Due to the millennia of constant patrols to keep the forests clear of predatory behemoths, the Knights of House Mortan have come to place great value upon close combat. Recently, House Mortan fought alongside Houses Althalos and Thalmus, saving more than 100 billion lives by defending the Hive World of Hexis Alpha when a Warp rift spawned a tide of Daemons across the planet.House MortimerUnknownUnknownThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, and it is unknown from which Knight World it hails.House NavarosDutonisQuestor ImperialisHouse Navros hails from the acrid, volcanic world of Dutonis, located in the galactic north-east of the Segmentum Obscurus.

Though they fight bravely, the Knights of Houses Nero and Illius are impossibly outnumbered and die to the last in combat with the all-conquering Orks.House OctobusUnknownUnknownThere is little information on this knightly house in official Imperial records or what Knight World they originally hailed from. The only known survivor of this once great knightly house is the Freeblade Knight Blood Lord, piloted by Sir Marcel.House OrhlaccDark HavenQuestor ImperialisAlthough not amongst the most powerful Knight Houses, being only a Secundus Grade Imperial Knight House, House Orhlacc nevertheless was heavily involved in many major campaigns of the Horus Heresy. Although of sinister repute both within the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus and those of the wider Imperium -- albeit for very different reasons -- House Orhlacc has always been famed for the technological skills both of its Sacristans and its Knights.House Procon ViProconQuestor MechanicusHouse Procon Vi served as a Vassal Knight House of the Legio Solaria. It fought alongside that Titan Legion at the Battle of Beta-Garmon during the Horus Heresy.House RavenKolossiQuestor MechanicusHouse Raven is the largest of the knightly houses, with many hundreds of Imperial Knights at its disposal.

During the Horus Heresy it provided support to the Legio Defensor at the Battle of Beta-Garmon.House TaranisMarsQuestor MechanicusThe first of the knightly houses to be established in the galaxy was that of House Taranis. This truly ancient house predates any other by many hundreds of standard years, for it was first founded on Mars during the Age of Terra. When civil war erupted on Mars during the Horus Heresy, House Taranis suffered near total losses. As the internecine conflict drew to a close, only two Knights remained. Only incredible commitment, and the skill of Mars' Tech-Priests, saw House Taranis survive its darkest hour, and rebuild to be stronger than ever before.House TazkharMolechQuestor ImperialisHouse Tazkhar was one of several ancient Knight households that hailed from the world of Molech. They originated from the wastes of the savage and barren Tazkhar Steppe, located in the Southern Steppes of the continent of Molechari. This unforgiving environment naturally bred ferocious Scions, giving this Knight house a well-deserved reputation for savagery. Tazkhar was one of the few Knight households to survive the Battle of Molech during the Horus Heresy, and helped play an instrumental role in helping to rebuild their world following the end of the Great Scouring.House TerrynVoltarisQuestor ImperialisThe Knights of House Terryn are renowned for their skill at arms and ferocity in battle, each one a master of knightly combat. Ruled over by Patriarch Tybalt on the tropical world of Voltaris, detachments of the house range across the battlefields of the Eastern Fringe, from the cursed edges of the Ghoul Stars to the hellish warzones of the Damocles Gulf.House ThalmusUnknownQuestor ImperialisAlong with the Knights of House Mortan and House Althalos, House Thalmus came to the aid of the Hive World Hexis Alpha, when a Warp rift spawned a tide of Daemons across its surface.

Its homeworld is the rad-blasted planet of Cironis.House TrainorMancoraQuestor MechanicusThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, other than long ago, they threw in their lot with the Adeptus Mechanicus, though they remain justifiably suspicious of them. Recently in 894.M41, House Trainor took part in the Imperial campaign to push the Aeldari off the Mining World of Betalis III, fighting alongside a demi-legio from the Legio Gryphonicus Titan Legion, Imperial Guard Regiments from the Cadian Shock Troops and Elysian Drop Troops, and the Space Wolves Great Company of Wolf Lord Bran Redmaw.House TyrinthUnknownQuestor MechanicusThere is very little information on this knightly house in official Imperial records, other than that they are aligned to the Adeptus Mechanicus.House VelemestrinUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is little information in regards to this Imperial Knight House in official Imperial records other than that in 998.M41, Warlord Grukk of the Red WAAAGH! ploughed into the densely populated Sanctus Reach, his crusade's juggernaut momentum smashing past the Space Marine homeworld of Obstiria to plunder the planets beyond. When a flotilla of Ork rust-ships make planetfall, the knightly houses of Alaric lead their Cadian allies in a worldwide counterattack. During this conflict, Rolund Velemestrin was murdered in his sleep by foul xenos infiltrators, but even bereft of his Knight, laid low many of the aliens' number before succumbing to his wounds.House ViProconQuestor MechanicusHouse Vi is a Knight House of the Questor Mechanicus that serves as a Vassal House of the Legio Solaria.House VornherrLuhnborg IXQuestor ImperialisHosue Vornherr is a Loyalist, Imperial-aligned Knightly household that hails from the Feudal World of Luhnborg-IX. They fell victim to the fires of betrayal committed by the Word Bearers Traitor Legion at the Battle of Calth when most of their Knights in attendance were callously and cowardly cut down from orbit by a Word Bearers planetary assault squadron. The remainder of House Vornherr swore a death-oath to hunt down the Traitors until none were left.House VulkerAurous IVQuestor MechanicusDespite being one of the greater houses amongst those aligned to the Adeptus Mechanicus, House Vulker is reckoned especially reclusive and mysterious. The bonds between Aurous IV and their patron Forge World Bellus Prime remain tight. They place a premium upon firepower and well-coordinated plans for both attack and defence. It was they who first developed the Tripartite Lance, a formation later adopted by all other houses.House VymarUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, and it is unknown from which world it hails.House VyridionHighrock (Destroyed)Questor Imperialis (Briefly Renegade)House Vyridion was a household of Imperial Knights that existed at the foundation of the Imperium of Man. Through treachery and to their ever-lasting shame, House Vyridion was led to break its vows of fealty to the Imperium and join the forces of the rebellious Warmaster Horus Lupercal. Yet, House Vyridion recognised the error they had made and asked for the Emperor's Pardon. House Vyridion was later called upon by the Emperor's own bodyguard, the Legio Custodes, to fight alongside them in defence of the Imperial Webway Project in the dungeons of the Imperial Palace.House VyroniiDamaetus III/IIQuestor ImperialisHouse Vyronii is a Secundus Grade Imperial Knight Household that has always valiantly stood amongst the defenders of the Imperium of Mankind for millennia. House Vyronii is counted amongst the most venerable knightly Households of the entire Segmentum, its Knights being famed for their tenacity and their uniquely sorrowful demeanour. Almost destroyed in the first hours of the Horus Heresy, House Vyronii was saved by the actions of the legendary Gios Jakh, whose warnings roused the Knights of House Vyronii to war and whose leadership would prove paramount in the dark years to follow.House WarwickUnknownUnknownThere is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, and it is unknown from which Knight World it hails.House WentorthBarodaN/ADuring the harsh years of the Age of Strife, the knightly houses of Baroda fell to brutal internecine fighting amongst each other, to take by force the resources they could no longer claim by labour, extinguishing the bloodlines of many of their number. As each House fell, the victor added its arms and lands to its own, until only one Knight House remained. The assembled might of House Makabius overran the last holdout of House Wentorth in 831.M30, some decades before Imperial contact, ending almost eight hundred years of bloody civil war in a handful of final hours of internecine destruction.House WinterveilUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is little information in Imperial records about this knightly house or from what Knight World they hail from. All that is known is that the ebon Knights of House Winterveil have thwarted dozens of Drukhari raids in the systems surrounding their home world, earning bitter enmity from the scions of Commorragh.House ZavoraUnknownQuestor MechanicusThere is little information in Imperial records about this knightly house, other than that they were created during the Age of Technology. During the earliest days of the Age of Strife, the fallen House Morbidia began as one of the early rivals of the Houses of Zavora and Taranis for power and favour of the Omnissiah's priesthood. During those dark and lost centuries however, House Morbidia erred, and for crimes the truth of which has been long suppressed within the vast and ancient data cores of the Red Planet was pronounced excommunicate by the Fabricator-General and condemned to servitude.House ZhortanUnknownQuestor ImperialisThere is very little information on this knightly house in official Imperial records.
