Phoenix Brethren

Originally the Flame Falcons the Brethren are one of the hard luck 21st Founding Chapters. Towards the end of their first century of existence a strange new ability appeared among the Falcons; in the heat of battle some of them would burst into shimmering white flames that left the Marine unharmed but sometimes reduced his opponent to ashes. The Chapter took this as a sign of the Emperor's favor. The Inquisition thought differently. Several Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus descended upon the Chapter's homeworld of Lethe supported by the Grey Knights in a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Flame Falcons who put up an extraordinary defense that actually required the Grey Knights to call on the nearby White Consuls Chapter for additional support. The fortress-monastery of the Falcons was completely destroyed after more than a year of desperate fighting and the Chapter declared perditus.

Unknown to their enemies the full Battle Brothers of the Chapter had sacrificed themselves to cover the escape of the Scout Company with sufficient gene-seed to allow the Chapter to rebuild. They settled on the dead world of Zode I in the thinly inhabited Prodomos Reach and took the new name of the Phoenix Brethren.
