In fact, player characters in the [[Deathwatch (RPG)]] all begin play with '''[[Bear Lore|Infused Knowledge]]''', representing the extreme amount of education imparted to the Guardians of the Covenant as part of their training process. Much of it implanted hypnotically so they do not even realise how much they know until the situation arises. In essence a Guardian of the Covenant may theoretically have a basic knowledge of EVERY subject so long as it is not forbidden or restricted lore.

Uncharacteristically for most of the Imperium military (let alone the Dark Angels) they, comparatively, [[Salamanders|seem to show a great amount of care for the common citizens living in their dominion]], having at one point sacrificed a significant portion of their battle brothers beating back a Necron invasion to save the lives of the human colony of Forlex.
