==Important Figures==
'''Jurgen of the Tigers''' The second Chapter Master of the Death Consuls and the first recruit for the chapter since the Horus Heresy

Jurgen was sent to the planet of Siberis along with his mother and baby sister when their father was caught poaching on some noble's hunting grounds. Jurgen was captured as he tried to escape and deported. His father was executed for trespassing.

Settling with his mother and sister on the far reaches of Siberis, Jurgen put his father's lessons to good use and became a hunter. He leaped into prominence when he was the first human to actually hunt down a Great White Tiger. It was thought that the tigers were a part of the world, and the local shamans thought that the great hunter had marked Jurgen. He is said to have walked into the proving grounds wearing the tiger's hide as a cloak and standing triumphant at the end of the day armed with nothing but his flaying knife. The flaying knife has since become a great heirloom of the house of Gotz-Hohle.

His rise among the Death Consuls was meteoric, and with the loss of Malus Nighthaunter and Markus Bloodbane during the devastating Dark Eldar raid of Siberis, he was elected to be chapter master.
His first act was to make the chapter swear the vow of Bloodbane as their own, and his second was to make Bloodbane the captain of the 1st company until he was proved to be Killed in Action.

He was granted the Emperor's Benediction at the end of the first Black crusade, forgoing the chance to be entombed in a dreadnought because he believed that a crippled tiger was the most pitiful creature of them all.

''''Markus Bloodbane''' and '''Malus Nighthaunter''' The two oldest members of the chapter, who were the captain of the 1st company, and first Chapter Master of the Death Consuls respectively.

A small time crook in Nostramo, Markus was put out of business under the regime of Konrad Kurze. He found employment with a idealistic young boy called Malus and watched as Nostramo became an ordered place under the jackboot of Konrad Kurze. It was an inspiration to both of them, and they joined up with the Night Haunter when the Emperor came to Nostramo. 

Years later, the corruption in Nostramo filled Bloodbane's heart with fury. All that had been accomplished was for naught as without Kurze the world fell into ruin. While the Horus Heresy raged, around 2 companies led by the Malus and Markus survived and fought on the side of the loyalists, making sure that civilians were not unduly harmed. After the heresy, they were awarded with a penal world of Siberis, and it was expected that the chapter would die slowly.
However, the world turned out to be an excellent recruiting ground due to harsh weather and the hunting practices of it's people.

As the chapter expanded again, it took on more characteristics of the world and began worshipping the emperor in the form of the huntmaster. Being pragmatists, the old guard welcomed the huntmaster as the Emperor watching over the chapter.

They were both lost when the first company was deployed against a Dark Eldar invasion of Siberis. When his oldest friend died killing the Xenos leader, Bloodbane swore an oath to make the Dark Eldar taste fear and despair as their slaves did before stepping into the webway pursuing the retreating Eldar. Since his body and armor were never recovered, Bloodbane continues to be the captain of the 1st company in absentia.
