The eleventh legion, the Red Knights were potent weapons in the Emperor's arsenal. Clad in their red and black armor, they used their psyker abilities to hunt down and destroy Daemons.

Their four-armed Primarch, Apolloyn's tale is perhaps the most tragic of all the Primarchs. Landing on the Death World Domesday, he was not found by any human civilization, instead forced to fend for himself. Over time, he built a cabin, living on the planet in peace.

One day, a small contigent of Ultramarines was doing a routine survey on Domesday for minerals, a common practice in Legion Astartes days. Slowly, they were non-lethally trapped by a mysterious four-armed figure lurking in the shadows. Revealing himself to them with a demonstration of his psyker abilties, he was taken to his Gene-Father.

Over time, Apolloyn amassed the Red Knights, using them to hunt down the hated Daemons of Chaos. Their home-world of Domesday became a major trading port and somewhat of a prilgramage site for Imperial scholars.

With the betrayal of Theresa, the Pythian Raptors fell to Chaos. The Red Knights found Domesday under attack, forcing themselves to attack their sisters. Domesday became a battleground, a killing ground, corpses becoming a measurement of height. The other legions quickly clamped on the two legions, leading to them being absorbed into the other legions and erased from all records.

Apolloyn, banished along with his sister, swore to his brothers he would return. To this very day, it is said when the Sons of Domesday appear into battle, a four-armed warrior is leading them, weeping throughout the battle.
