Night Lords
The Night Lords Space Marine Legion consists of some of the more batshit-crazy emos, kind of like the Chaos version of the Raven Guard. They get off to catching their enemies, skinning them alive and crucifying them, all the while recording it for later. Battle cries include "We have come for you!" or "Ave Dominus Nox".
Their Primarch called himself the Night Haunter (his IRL name was Konrad Curze). When Chaos abducted the infant Primarchs, they were scattered across the galaxy. Poor lil Konrad ended up on Nostramo, a world of perpetual darkness. And unlike the other Primarchs who were found by the inhabitants of that planet and taken care of, Konrad was left all alone to fend for himself, in a world where it's a dark, lawless land. So then when he grew up, he became like the Batman of the 41st millennium, where he punishes the corrupt and the evil. The only difference from Batman is that he does it in the most gruesome manner possible, such as by hanging the guilty person's disemboweled corpse for all to see or beating the person to literally an unrecognizable pulp. So yeah, he became a popular icon that the people of Nostramo basically fixed their shitty society as they fear that the "Night Haunter" will screw their asses to unimaginable levels.
They also have an unhealthy addiction to flying, lightning and Batman. Known to try to be some badass terrorist shit by scaring the hell out of civilians. They are also known for being giant fucking nutheads who are stupidly insane.
Despite being traitors they are not terribly fond of chaos and make little to no usage of daemons at all, so they're more of a renegade chapter than a heretical one. Which makes them either very smart since they're less likely to go pants-on-head-retarded when accidentally possessed or extremely stupid since it's their only greatest advantage against the Imperium's slightly advancing technology.
