Editing Dark Angels Grand Master (section)

==Supreme Grand Master==
Overall command of the Dark Angels Chapter and de-facto command of the entire Unforgiven is given to the Supreme Grand Master, always a member of the Dark Angels Inner Circle who is selected from among the Chapter's Grand Masters. Being selected is only a part of the ascension process, as with all things relating to the Dark Angels, the candidate must undergo trials to assess his suitability for the role, otherwise they are taken away and never seen again.

The Chapter Masters of Dark Angels successors are still only referred to as Grand Master; the title of Supreme Grand Master exists solely within the Dark Angels as the head of the entire Unforgiven. While this might sound like it can cause issues of uncertain authority when Captains hold the same title as their Chapter Master; the rank also tends to come with additional honorific titles such as "Master of Souls", "Finder of Secrets", or "Holder of the Keys" etc etc, which indicate their role within the Inner Circle. But chains of command within Space Marine Chapters are short enough that they would be able to identify their superiors easily enough even without standardized designations of rank.

Anyways, [[Azrael]] is the present Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels <s>Legion</s> Chapter and he carries the honorific title of Keeper of the Truth as he is that trusted with the Chapter's most closely guarded secrets.
