Editing Dark Angels (section)

=== [[Horus Heresy]] ===
[[File:Luther.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Luther, {{Blam|+++If you see this man in your sector, report immediately to the Inner Circle+++}}]]
Much of the history of the First Legion during the events of the Horus Heresy are largely unknown to the Imperium at large, thus you will find that {{Blam|+++paper records are highly flammable, thus we put here all we have recovered.+++}}

During the [[Horus Heresy]] Lion El'Jonson rushed to come to the aid of the [[Emperor]], fighting his way through the [[Night Lords]], [[Death Guard]] and [[Lost and the Damned|traitor Army]] to reach [[Terra]], stopping off at [[Macragge]] to kick [[Roboute Guilliman]] out of inaction and start actually paying attention to the Horus Heresy. In fact, despite all of the mystery surrounding the intentions of the First Legion, the Emperor still had complete faith in them. A discussion between Him and [[Malcador the Sigillite]] during [[Graham McNeill]]'s Vengeful Spirit proves that even the Emperor expected Guilliman to procrastinate and start building his own empire and they were somewhat relieved when Russ told them that the Lion had intervened.

Despite all this he didn't make it to Terra in time because he ended up buying into Guilliman's new [[Imperium Secundus]], and set himself the task of defending the 500 worlds from attacks by the [[Word Bearers]] and the [[World Eaters]], all the while seeking out his elusive brother [[Konrad Curze]]. When the Night Haunter was eventually caught, his visions coupled with those of [[Sanguinius]] were sufficient to prove to the collected brothers that the Emperor was in fact still alive, and that the Imperium Secundus was a massive folly and a distraction. Though they attempted to return to Terra, it was clear that the route would only be opened for one of the brothers; Sanguinius, therefore the Lion and Guilliman set themselves the task of attacking the traitors in the rear, hoping to draw enough of them away to buy time for the defenders at the [[Siege of Terra]].

Afterwards he returned home to [[Caliban]] only to find that shit hit the fan when {{Blam|+++ our kitchen servitors accidentally left all of the cooking gas lines running and this caused an explosion that destroyed our home planet. We suspect this to be the work of foul traitors.+++}} When daybreak came Caliban was nothing more; only The Rock was left standing. {{Blam|+++ These stressful days were what caused the Lion to go on vacation. The remaining Dark Angels painted their armor green (as penance and because green was the shit back then).+++}} All of this caused one battle brother to say "I hate Mondays".

Because Caliban was far away from many Imperial Worlds, the core leaders of the Dark Angels known as the {{Blam|+++Inner circle (because that band rocks) decided to destroy all history, evidence, and blueprints of the Rock to protect it from falling into the wrong hands+++}}
The Imperium's not exactly sure what happened to Caliban as anyone who investigates this matter, even [[Inquisitor|Inquisitors]] {{Blam|+++are made to feel very welcome on the Rock and most never want to go back to their job after experiencing one of our wild parties.+++}}

Ahem, to carry on where my predecessor left off after his {{Blam|+++long-needed vacation+++}}, the Dark Angels became the most obscure chapter in the millennium following the Horus Heresy. Whereas Imperial officials can try to order around chapters like the Space Corgis and Black Templars, the Dark Angels can never be approached because they can't be found 90% of the time. They are known for mysteriously appearing out of nowhere to aid Imperial forces and disappearing just as fast, even if the forces they were aiding were still in need of their help. This has led to much complaint from Imperial commanders who are often understandably pissed off. {{Blam|+++We sincerely apologize, but we try to multi-task+++}}
