	During the cursed 21st Founding, they were founded as a chapter called "War Vultures" and were known for ruthless efficiency.

	The War Vultures clashed against the Horns of Ruin once again on Lorraros IV, where the Traitors were attempting to recover an Eldar Titan that had fallen in battle with the Necrons, before Humanity was even in its infancy. The War Vultures usual tactics were not enough for chaos-imbued Legion, which inflicted devastating losses on them. Were it not for the intervention of the Eldar Craftworld "Ulthwe" the War Vultures would have surely been inflicted many more casualties. Few other records survive, of the Chapter before its rechristening, minor skirmishes with Orks and other Xenos life.

	The War Vultures met their fate at the hands of The Plague of Treason. The First Company, led by Chapter Master Lorrian Hark, whilst dealing with a Chaos Cult dedicated to Nurgle in their territory, was infected by a curse of unimaginable cruelty. The curse affected the senses of victim, turning them into uncontrollable, psychopathic killing machines that required the consumption of vast amounts of blood to survive; the worst part was that, the afflicted has no idea. They see themselves on a battlefield, surrounded by the foes of the Emperor; they were even screaming their praises to his holy name, even as they butchered whole hive-towers. The First Company managed to slaughter all but 300 of their brothers, before, finally, a champion arrived. A champion with no name, simply referred to in the texts as "The Great Howl" due to his only reported sounds being long ~~bae's~~ to signal his arrival on a battlefield. Howl wore a black suit of Tartaros-Pattern Terminator Armour with a large Wolf-skull as a helmet; no other markings are mentioned in the reports. Howl managed to rally the loyalists together and drove the First Company into the Warp, sealing their victory when Howl slew the rogue Chapter Master in single combat.

	~~===Krant Anlad===~~
	A Ratling and the Apostle of the 5th Company. The diminutive leader utilizes a Needle Rifle and uses his amazing eyes to perform feats of marksmanship that most refuse to believe. He is mainly known for his keen tactical mind and his love of the opposite gender. He is a warrior of attrition; he will wait for weeks on end, not moving, for the chance to get the perfect shot to complete his mission. Krant is more a figure-head than a leader, as his entire company is controlled by the Grand Apostle. He was made Apostle for 2 reasons; his giant list of dead targets, and to pander to the other Abhumans and mutants within the 5th company, showing that an Abhuman may get a prestigious position. Since his instating, moral among the 5th company has risen considerably... Although, many believe that it's because of his "Weekly Conjugal Visitation" policy.
