	Considering how frequent daemonic invasion is in 40K, it is extremely unlikely that the Exorcists are the only ones of their kind. Most likely there's around a Legion's worth of such Chapters (one or two hundred, perhaps) scattered throughout the Imperium to respond to such threats before they become major enough for normal Chapters to be deployed and to prevent significant Greater Daemon summoning so the Grey Knights can focus on killing the strongest daemonic threats.

It might also give insight into daemon methods to make the Exorcists even better at fighting them, given the situation. Whether or not it gives them other supernatural traits or powers is unknown, but considering the strength of Astartes souls, how the Warp and daemons work, and how easy Warpcraft is if you know how to use it this does seem likely or perhaps limited to anti-psychic whatever. Especially since they seem unusually effective against daemons and other psychic threats like Orks and Tyrannids.

	White Dwarf 462 (March 2021) clears up their origin, with the Exorcists having originally been an Imperial Fists successor Chapter (shown in their use of the Imperial Fists' signature discipline, Geomancy). Their Chapter Master, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_(ancestor_of_Noah) Enoch] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus Trismegistus] (real subtle GW), was possessed by a Lord of Change, but was able to banish it with the help of his Chief Librarian. A nearby group of Inquisitors known as Plutonians then interrogated him; once they were sure he was uncorrupted, they shared their ideas with him (namely, that daemonic possession can be weaponized against daemons). Having absorbed the intelligence of the Lord of Change, Enoch was able to see the genius of their plan and agreed to test their theories on his battle-brothers. To this day, the Plutonians force daemons into the bodies of Marine neophytes for 12 hours, then remove them; if the body is too damaged, KILL IT! If the body isn't too damaged, it undergoes reconstructive surgery and is taught the [[Grey Knights\|666 verses of the Book of Exorcisms]]. If the body can't handle exorcism but isn't destroyed, well... it becomes a Broken One, a failed Aspirant that the Plutonians and Exorcists [[grimdark\|use as hosts for multiple daemons so that they don't have to summon new ones]]. According to White Dwarf 462, the Inquisitors do seem to exorcise daemons rather than the Aspirant having to use force of will, so [[skub\|inconsistent lore abounds,]] as usual (the Inquisitors assist them). Of course, lore wise, all of this could have been fabricated, if they were rather the successors of the Grey Knights whom usually resort to mind-wipes or executions and would, hypothetically, even kill a [[High Lords of Terra\|Chancellor of the Imperial Senate]] to maintain secrecy; one secret to cover a larger one.

	It'd probably be a good idea for all Chapters to take up this practice (and [[Wat\|we know that Grey Knights' gene-seed actually comes from all eighteen or maybe twenty Legions Astartes, so that won't be a problem]]). If the Ecclesiarchy complains (they won't because when they found out they thought it was a brilliant idea and retardedly tried to do it, too) then just tell them and the public that part of becoming an Angel of Death is to use your very soul to kill a daemon as part of your training. That'd be true, satisfy everyone, and further strengthen the public's faith in the Emperor's not-so-merciful angels. Oh, and Chaos would be utterly fucked, the Ork WAAAGH!!! field would spaz out, and the Tyrannid Hive Mind would have a stroke. The Eldar...ooooh, their reaction would be delicious!

	Considering how frequent daemonic invasion is in 40K, it is extremely unlikely that the Exorcists are the only ones of their kind. Most likely there's around a Legion's worth of such Chapters (one or two hundred, perhaps) scattered throughout the Imperium to respond to such threats before they become major enough for normal Chapters to be deployed and to prevent significant Greater Daemon summoning so the Grey Knights can focus on killing the strongest daemonic threats. On the other hand, that requires [[Heresy\|common sense]] but at the same time these guys are already pretty much straight up [[Extra Heresy\|loyalist Chaos Marines]].
