The Angels of Absolution are a Second Founding successor chapter of the Dark Angels. They are perhaps the successor with their heads on the straightest, since they realize that the sins of their forebearers are not their own, and thus they don't have to seek out forgiveness from the Emperor, though that doesn't mean they don't join in a merry game of 'Hunt the Fallen Angels' once in a while.
The Angels of Absolution are for the most part similar in temperament, outlook and everything else to their parent chapter. It is just on the one belief that they (quite sensibly) differ; they believe the actions of their forebearers in combating the corrupted angels during the Fall cleansed their blood of the guilt and that their many acts in the Emperor's name since then have only confirmed that. Considering they are talking about 10,000 years here you can see where they are coming from. Just how many oceans of blood does the Emperor need to wash that much guilt off, damn?
They don't yet have the balls to tell their parent chapter to man up and stop being so emo about the whole fallen thing. Or, maybe they did and the Dark Angels ignored them.
Unlike a number of successor chapters, they have a number of mentions of campaigns they have undertook, which has given them some colour and personality.
They show up in Forgeworld's Siege of Vraks campaign towards the end under orders from Azrael to capture Arkos the Faithless and regain the honour lost by their parent chapter earlier in the campaign. Interestingly, the fluff in the book shows that the Angels of Absolution have Sternguard Veteran squads, or at the very least; veteran squads that can use Specialised Ammunition which is something that the other Dark Angels successors do not have access to. (The only way to represent this on the tabletop would be to use Codex: Space Marines.)
