Ebon Knights

The Ebon Knights were a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown origin and Founding. Virtually nothing is known about this reclusive Chapter other than their participation in the notable campaign upon the industrial world of Iriad IV, where they fought a brutal campaign against the World Eaters Traitor Legion. The brutal battle against these vile berzerkers resulted in the mutual destruction of both forces and the corruption of the Ebon Knights sole survivor to the Blood God Khorne.

The Red Dawn of Iriad IV
In 437.M35, the fortified industrial world of Iriad IV was invaded by a tide of World Eaters Chaos Space Marines. Captain Revellion, of the Ebon Knights Chapter, leads his men against his Traitor cousins in a bitterly fought wa that sees the corpse count rise spectacularly quickly. The battle tears across the planet until less than a company of warriors remains on either side. Whilst the World Eaters do not care that so many of their number have fallen, Captain Revellion is driven to desperation by the loss of so many of his men and mutters a prayer into the night. Hours later, covered head to toe in blood, Revellion stalls out from the shadows with a dripping Chainsword in either hand. His men shout in fierce joy as the last of the World Eaters falls, though their victory soon turns to ashes. Unstoppable, Captain Revellion hacks a swathe through the remaining Ebon Knights. He does not stop there. The rampaging Captain attacks anything that moves, including his own reflection. District after district is depopulated as Revellion's pact with Khorne bears slow but terrible fruit. Iriad IV's remaining population is evacuated and the planet is declared Perditas.
