History
At the Devastation of Baal the Red Wings suffered grievous losses, including Chapter Master Pelhnagror. The Chapter now consists mostly of Primaris Space Marines, many of whom do not know the true nature and threat of the Black Rage. Its fortress-monastery, The Pentagarde, includes the void-castle Joyous Garde.
Notes
The gene-seed turns hair bright white, while the new Primaris members lack this trait. The fortress-monastery is a cluster of void-castles.
