History

In the Age of Apostasy the Angels of Wrath refused to replace their Chaplains with Ecclesiarchy missionaries. Goge Vandire sent Frateris Templars, who killed 90 percent of the Chapter, including Grand Master Tristan Dare. Captain Cornelius Makallan fled with the survivors into the Warp and emerged 4,000 years later at Megiddio Primus, where he fought the Ecclesiarchy as Covert X.

Notes

The survivors were mostly Scouts of the 10th Company, so the Chapter is built around Scouts; the Ecclesiarchy erased all mentions. Makallan refused the title Grand Master and called himself Commander.
