House Procon Vi is a Knight House of the Imperium. It is the premier Knight House of Procon[1b] and is sworn to fight beside the Imperial Titans of Legio Solaria.[1a]
Overview
The culture of House Procon Vi is dictated by the vast number of rites, edicts, and traditions that govern the responsibilities of its Scions, many of which revolve around the honour and respect each individual owes to those above them. The family legacy of a Knight is as important to the House as their battle prowess, with noble families placing the art of warfare above all other subjects when raising their children. On the battlefield, courage in the face of adversity is the central tenet of the House, with death in the face of defeat preferable to a life of cowardice.[2]
History
The House's history is heavily linked to the Legio Solaria. The circumstances surrounding the founding of that Legio were based within the patriarchal traditions of House Procon Vi, for it was those ancient rules that forbade Mohana Mankata VI, noble daughter of the Household, from becoming a Knight Scion. In rebellion against such ideals, Mankata claimed victory in a competition between House Procon Vi nobles despite being forbidden from participating. Her reward for such a rebellion was banishment by her people, yet in turn she found a new home upon the Forge World of Tigrus; its Tech-Priests were so impressed by the noble’s skill that they instructed her to form a new Titan Legion to guard the planet.[2]
The newly-appointed Princeps of Legio Solaria soon intertwined the fate of her Titan Legion and House Procon Vi, forging a concord between the two entities so that the latter would serve as vassal for the other. House Procon Vi amassed great wealth thanks to its status with Tigrus. By the start of the Horus Heresy, the House had some 447 Knights, with a great preference given to Knight Lancers and Knight Castigators. By contrast, it operated few Acastus-, Questoris-, Magaera-, or Styrix-pattern Knights. 215 of its Knights were bonded to the Legio Solaria while the remainder either stood guard over Procon or took part in the Great Crusade.[2]
House Procon Vi took part in the Horus Heresy and fought in the many battles within the Beta-Garmon System.[1a][2] During the Heresy, many of its nobles made vows to never return to their homeworld until a Traitor Primarch died by their hand, with none ever returning home alive.[2]
