The Knights started a galactic crusade to purge the foes of the Imperium, but committed so many excesses in the course of it that they were declared renegades by the [[High Lords of Terra]] in the beginning of M41.
	As such they kept their distance from any allies, to protect those allies from both the [[Inquisition]] and their own deficiencies. Some chapters ignore this decree, refusing to accept any declaration of renegade status from any other than a Space Marine, but other chapters are extremely zealous in prosecuting outcasts. Though, even those zealous Chapters wouldn’t just take someone’s word at face-value that a Chapter was heretical/renegade and would investigate. Especially the word of a mortal. Notoriously untrustworthy mortals, in fact. Even though they're probably right...Well, there is the idea that they're supposedly killing humans to sate their flaws, but that’s practically normal for many Sons of Sanguinius. Several of their Chapters do it and that isn’t even considering the ones who act like that who aren’t even Blood Angels successors. The Knights of Blood are more like a consolation prize for the Inquisition as the Flesh Tearers and Flesh Eaters are too scary for them. Oh, they're probably guilty as fuck, but they're probably the only guilty ones the Inquisition isn't afraid of pissing off.

	There ~~have been rumors~~ of the presence of the Knights of Blood operating in the [[Jericho Reach]] for several years, but they ~~have~~ never appeared on any officially sanctioned order of battle, and as far as can be ascertained, no communications ~~have been~~ exchanged between them and the [[Achilus Crusade]]'s high command.

Some chapters ignore this decree, refusing to accept any declaration of renegade status from any other than a Space Marine, but other chapters are extremely zealous in prosecuting outcasts. Though, even those zealous Chapters (probably; the [[Red Talons]], [[Red Hunters]], and [[Red Scorpions]] all say hello) wouldn’t just take someone’s word at face-value that a Chapter was heretical/renegade and would investigate. Considering the Flesh Tearers/Eaters and the Blood Drinkers are still kicking around, it's plausible that the exile of the KoB was a consolation prize of sorts for the Inquisition; they couldn't take out the aforementioned Chapters, so they went after a similarly-extreme but far easier to condemn one.

			There were rumours of the presence of the Knights of Blood operating in the [[Jericho Reach]] for several years, but they never appeared on any officially sanctioned order of battle, and as far as can be ascertained, no communications were ever exchanged between them and the [[Achilus Crusade]]'s high command.

	The Tyranids 8e codex reveals that while under the command of [[Gabriel Seth]], the chapter was wiped out to a man in a suicidal charge that prevented Seth and other successor chapters from being overwhelmed by the Tyranids and Ka'bandha's forces. This is corroborated by Devastation of Baal, which shows the same events from Gabriel Seth's point of view and shows a rather touching goodbye. Until that point, Seth and his Flesh Tearers had been actively avoiding the Knights of Blood, viewing it as a sign of mistrust from Dante that they be forced to fight alongside renegades and not alongside the primary force on Baal. However as the battle progressed, desperation forced Seth to team up with the Knights' Chapter Master Sentor Jool as Tyranids and Daemon overran their respective positions. It was then as all seemed lost that Jool revealed the truth of his chapter. As it turns out, the Flaw had begun to mutate them into monsters like those caged in the Tower of Amareo, and when Ka'Bandha arrived they had decided to use what was left of their self-control to die as Loyalists rather than being branded as renegades or being corrupted into the service of Khorne. Jool then explained that it was he who had requested to fight alongside Seth, knowing that out of all the sons of Sanguinius, the Flesh Tearers would understand their plight the most. Lamenting the fate of his Chapter and warning Seth that he too was at risk of following them into damnation, Jool led his remaining men in a mad charge against the combined might of the Tyranids and Ka'bandha. After shedding a single manly tear, Gabriel and his remaining Flesh Tearers evacuated the planet, narrowly saving them from the Black Rage.

	As such they kept their distance from any allies, to protect those allies from both the [[Inquisition]] and their own deficiencies. Some chapters ignore this decree, refusing to accept any declaration of renegade status from any other than a Space Marine, but other chapters are extremely zealous in prosecuting outcasts. Though, even those zealous Chapters (probably; the [[Red Talons]], [[Red Hunters]], and [[Red Scorpions]] all say hello) wouldn’t just take someone’s word at face-value that a Chapter was heretical/renegade and would investigate. Considering the Flesh Tearers/Eaters and the Blood Drinkers are still kicking around, it's plausible that the exile of the KoB was a consolation prize of sorts for the Inquisition; they couldn't take out the aforementioned Chapters, so they went after a similarly-extreme but far easier to condemn one.

	There were rumours of the presence of the Knights of Blood operating in the [[Jericho Reach]] for several years, but they never appeared on any officially sanctioned order of battle, and as far as can be ascertained, no communications were ever exchanged between them and the [[Achilus Crusade]]'s high command.

	That, surprisingly barely got a rise out of them, and the leader, Ser Kord brushed it off. After things had wrapped up, Rafen asked the million dollar question, if they were willing to do this, could they not return to Baal with them? Ser Kord merely replied sadly "Baal has been lost to us." Then the dumbass asked them [[derp\|what was stopping them from slaying them for being renegades.]] To which Ser Kord merely smiled gently and the '''Epistolary''' that had been attached to the squad suddenly [[Not as Planned\|became aware of a COMPANY of the Knights of Blood that had been ]][[Creed\|hidden by Ser Kord.]]		That, surprisingly barely got a rise out of them, and the leader, Ser Kord brushed it off.

	In 999.M41, the Knights of Blood were gathering near Baal to assist their founding Chapter in their defence of [[Baal]] against both the Daemonic hordes of [[Ka'bandha]] and the [[Tyranid]]s of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]].

	The Tyranids 8e codex reveals that while under the command of [[Gabriel Seth]], the chapter was wiped out to a man in a suicidal charge that prevented Seth and other successor chapters from being overwhelmed by the Tyranids and Ka'bandha's forces. This is corroborated by Devastation of Baal, which shows the same events from Gabriel Seth's point of view and shows a rather touching goodbye.

	Until that point, Seth and his Flesh Tearers had been actively avoiding the Knights of Blood, viewing it as a sign of mistrust from Dante that they be forced to fight alongside renegades and not alongside the primary force on Baal. However as the battle progressed, desperation forced Seth to team up with the Knights' Chapter Master Sentor Jool as Tyranids and Daemon overran their respective positions. It was then as all seemed lost that Jool revealed the truth of his chapter. As it turns out, the Flaw had begun to mutate them into monsters like those caged in the Tower of Amareo, and when Ka'Bandha arrived they had decided to use what was left of their self-control to die as Loyalists rather than being branded as renegades or being corrupted into the service of Khorne.

	Jool then explained that it was he who had requested to fight alongside Seth, knowing that out of all the sons of Sanguinius, the Flesh Tearers would understand their plight the most. Lamenting the fate of his Chapter and warning Seth that he too was at risk of following them into damnation, Jool led his remaining men in a mad charge against the combined might of the Tyranids and Ka'bandha. After shedding a single manly tear, Gabriel and his remaining Flesh Tearers evacuated the planet, narrowly saving them from the Black Rage.
