Original stolen ideas DO NOT STEAL (again)

Ordo Drakon
"...I would Raise the Dragon. Let the God-Emperor have mercy upon the soul of mine foe, for I have none..."

- From the Oath of Righteous Persecution

Perhaps one of the oldest Crusader Houses still existent within the Imperium of Man, the Ordinis Sancti, Recessit itaque ex Drakonis, or Ordo Drakon, continues to earn respect and even fear in the eyes of the Imperial Adepta. The infamous Knights-in-Crimson of this hoary warrior order bear a history that stretches back to Unification Wars of ancient Terra, said to have been ordained to service by the Emperor of Mankind Himself, if the if the antiquated and fragmented accounts are to be believed.

At present, the Ordo Drakon binds the services of its Knights to the most ardent of the Imperium's agents, be they Inquisitors, Ecclesiarchs, or even representatives of the High Lords themselves, such is the status required to even approach warriors of such pedigree.

Mal'akh
"Messengers from on high, cloaked in radiance. But peal back the curtain of light and behold: Angels, Great and Terrible..."

- Transcribed ravings of Excommunicate Cardinal Harkenwold; circa 214.M41

False Angels, Deuvores, Workers of Mystery, The Pale Ones, Envoys; regardless of the myriad epithets this enigmatic species of warp-kin have gathered over the years, one fact remains certain. Where the Mal'akh go, devotion devolves into insanity. These psychic parasites feed off of belief, masquerading as benevolent messengers from on high and in doing so drink deep of the heady blends of zealotry and madness they inspire, until naught remains but ash and ruin. If left unopposed the Mal'akh's mere presence can plunge entire planets into catastrophe as their adherents wage genocidal wars against their own kinsmen, fighting for the favor of their "Angel" until there is not a single soul left to fight.

Legio Kaleidis
"The high-and-mighty rarely expect subtlety from a Titan. That's why they die first."

- Princeps Zenas of the Warhound Dread Radiant
