The Eyes of Mordred are another product of fat/tg/uys playing around with the Chapter Creation tables from Rites of Battle. After a lot of dice rolling, the results came in; an Ultramarines successor chapter that, while still following the Codex Astartes, are practically loyalist Night Lords.

Chapter Founding Father

Mordred, a single tactical marine of the Ultramarines who was stranded in a craftworld after a failed attack. As he could not carve his way out, he started killing Eldar and wearing their Soulstones as trophies. Eventually he managed to intimidate an Eldar passenger ship's captain to transport him to the nearest webway gate on an Imperial World. For his bravery and tenacity, he eventually became the founding father of the Eyes of Mordred.

During an assault on an eldar craftworld by the Ultramarines, a squad of tactical marines was stranded when the chapter retreated. The members of the squad were picked of one by one over the following days, leaving just one member alive; Septimus. The details of his time on the craftworld have been lost. Some say that he spent the weeks or months aboard the craftworld stalking the eldar from the shadows, killing them in vengenge for his lost battle brothers and taking the gems attached their armour as trophies. Others say that he was single handedly able to destroy an entire aspect temple or even the seer council of the craftworld. However what is know is that despite the terrible odds against him, Septimus was able to survive alone and somehow find his way back to his chapter either by seizing an eldar vessel or via other means.

Upon returning to the chapter he was proclaimed a great hero, the gems he had found attached to his armour by the chapter artificer. Around this time, as fortune would have it, the high lords of terror were nearing the completion of a newly created chapter using the Ultramarines geneseed which was to guard against the increasing eldar presence in the [SOMETHING] sector. Septimus was chosen to be the chapter master of this new chapter. He was from then on know as Septimus no longer; he renamed himself Mordred. So they might emulate his example against impossible odds, the new chapter was named The Eyes of Mordred.

In the years that followed, the gems in Mordreds armour began whispering to him, mocking him and weeping into his mind if he attacked the craftworld eldar, but working him into an uncontrollable fury if he were to attack their dark kin. After much secret study and private consultation with the Master of the librarium they understood them to be eldar soulstones. Mordred and the Cheif Librarian were eventually able to atune a soulstone to Mordred himself, so that even in death he would be able to lend guidence to the chapter that beared his name.
