Company of the Shadow

The 'Company of Shadow are a Renegade Chapter of Space Marines whose allegiance is unknown.

Chapter History
The Renegade Chapter known as the Company of Shadow can trace their origins to the dawn of the 41st Millennium. Originally, they were a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter known as the Death Falcons. They hailed from the night-shrouded world of Bastonbeil, which lay within the far reaches of the Eastern Fringe at the very limits of the Astronomican. This world was their primary recruiting ground for the Death Falcons. While the Chapter Master was away at the Conclave of Gathalamor, renewing his oaths of allegiance to the Emperor, Bastonbeil fell. From the underhive of Bastonbeil's capital rose and ancient and terrible evil which fed upon the souls of the living. Millions of souls were devoured by this mysterious entity, leaving only mindless zombies in its wake. Responding in force, the Death Falcons deployed the entire strength of their Chapter, bringing their unfettered wrath down upon this force of evil. The Chapter destroyed the zombies left by the creature and began to hunt the beast in earnest. It is unknown what took place within the dark depths of the Underhive, but after three months what emerged from the pits of blackness was no longer recognizable as the once-noble Death Falcons. Armoured Space Marines wearing grey-coloued Power Armour that writhed with the faces of the damned, emerged like some unspoken nightmare. The dark-clad brotherhood stormed the upper reaches of the hive, eventually overthrowing the Imperial Commander. The Death Falcons were no more, only the Company of Shadow remained. After the enslavement of Bastonbeil, over the last nine centuries this Renegade Chapter has struck out from their dark base and launched numerous bloody attack against neighbouring systems.
