Prophets of Destiny

The Prophets of Destiny are a group of Traitor Astares dedicated to the Lord of Destiny, Tzeentch. They were formely called the Prophets of Redemption (created during the 3rd Founding: 001.M32) and were given the Death World of Valos Magna as their homeworld. The sole aim of the chapter was to redeem the Galaxy from the foul taint of Chaos. Over time, the Commanders and Librarians of the chapter began to implement radical techniques in order to combat the chaos scum, going so far as using the forbidden art of sorcery in order to forcefully remove the tainted souls of the damned followers of Chaos. The continued use of Sorcery led to the eventual downfall of the chapter. They were declared Excommunicate Traitoris in 510.M36 during the battle of Magdelon IV when it became apparent that the Librarians of the chapter were using raw warp energy to rip apart the heads of the Traitor Astares they were fighting. After their turn to chaos the Prophets of Destiny repainted their armour dark blue (with gold trims) to pay homage to their new master.

Organization
The Prophets of Destiny have a hierarchical command system which favours Psykers and Traitor Astares who have recieved mutations from their patron god. The Lord of the chapter is the Daemon Prince Matthias, his second in command is Daemon Prince Zacharia. The Cabal of Sorcerers wield significant power in the chapter, (second only to the Daemon Princes) and are responsible for commanding the the pitiful Aspiring Champions and Traitor Astares. Unusually for a renegade chapter, they kept the tradition of having a company Champion. Any Aspiring Champion lucky enough to be 'promoted' to the rank of Champion of Tzeentch becoms the liason between the Cabal and the regular Astares, they are also gifted the Corrupted Relic Blade 'Death's Sting' (Deamon Weapon) during the promotion ceremony. The Champion must also swear a Daemonic Pact to the Cabal which grants him the chance for Daemonhood. However, if the Champion ever fails the Cabal (if he has not already ascended) he is immediately changed into a mindless Sacrificial Champion and will eventually become a living gateway for Chaos.

The Prophets of Destiny have links to several Aspiring Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons who they admire with devotion. They frequently trade Astares with a psychic potential to these Sorcerers in exchange for their services (and Rubric Marines). As such, the Prophets of Destiny always have at least one Thousand Son Aspiring Sorcerer in their service at any given time.
