For the majority of the Dark Angels, and their successors, all that is known is that mysterious warriors in dark-hued armour appeared shortly after the return of Lion El’Jonson. They heed no battle plans and regard no council, but wield huge greatswords of ancient Calibanite design in the defence of important figures from the Unforgiven Chapters.

That the identity of these Companions remains secret is sure to vex many in the Inner Circle, for the Dark Angels strive to unravel almost as many secrets as they themselves keep. Whispers abound that their Primarch is involved, but if the Lion knows who hides under the blackened hoods and helmets of the Companions, he’s not telling.
