The Golden Host was an Emperor's Children warband that operated after the Horus Heresy, led by Eynzilium.[1a]
History
The Golden Host was one of several Emperor's Children factions which were tricked by Fabius Bile, as the latter promised them new gene-seed in exchange for some kind of service. The Golden Host then sent its Lucid Circle, a Noise Marine squad, as delegation to negotiate with Fabius. However, the Apothecary abducted the Golden Host's representatives and trade them to Drukhari. The delegation's survivors were eventually freed in Commorragh by Lucius the Eternal[1a] and joined the latter's "Faultless" warband.[1a][1b]
