Insignia of the 5th Company[1]
The 5th Company of the Dark Angels is one of the Chapter's Battle Companies.[1]
The Master of the 5th Company is known as the Keeper of the Unseen Ritual. The Keeper is expected to collect and keep knowledge of the ancient orders of Caliban, and to be an expert in the Dark Angels' ancient martial traditions and codes of honour. However, most of the knowledge has been lost to time, leaving only fragments behind.[12]
