The Fallen

In the eyes of the Dark Angels Space Marines, the only way that they can rid themselves totally of their shame and restore their honor and tryst in the Emperor's eyes, is if all the Fallen are found and are either made to repent or are slain.   However, since the Fallen were cast through the warp to all corners of space and time, this is no mean task for the Dark Angels to achieve. Unlike the Inquistors and the Grey Knights of the Imperium, whose role it is to root out the agents of Chaos at work within the galaxy, in this regard the Dark Angels are only concerned with finding the Fallen of their Chapter.  Although the Dark Angels will be called upon for many different missions for the Imperium, their search for their Fallen comrades is a constant quest that they can never relinquish.

Not all of the Dark Angels' damned bretheren have succumbed to the power of Chaos to the same degree.  Some of the Fallen have embraced the ways of the Dark Gods totally becoming true Chaos Space Marines.  These Fallen do not belong to a Chapter of their own, like Angron's World Eaters. Instead they are dispersed throughout space and time as either isolated individuals or in small bands.

However, most of the Fallen realise that their actions during the fall of Caliban were wrong.  Disgusted by their corrupting influence of the Chaos gods and unable to reconcile themselves with their order they lead a solitary existence.   Many of them become mercenaries or pirates, roaming the galaxy as masterless men.   Others are willing to atone for their sins and in an attempt to do so have integrated themselves back into human societies taking on the role of an ordinary person.   This only makes the Dark Angels' task of finding the Fallen harder as they are not easy to identify as such.  But it is still the Dark Angels duty to try and track them down.  In order to do so, they must investigate any rumor or story relating to the Fallen, just in case it should lead them to one of their corrupted bretheren.

The Dark Angels can go for years without hearing any rumors that might lead them to one or more of the Fallen.  When they do however, and their mission is a success, those Fallen that are captured are taken back to the Rock.   Deep inside its dungeons Interrogator-Chaplains attempt to make the Fallen repent.   Occasionally they do and for their pains die quickly.  More often than not though the captured Fallen refuses and suffers long, drawn-out and agonising death at the hands of those who would save their soul.
