History
They have a fanatical hatred of Chaos and Warp corruption, which the Keepers will go out of their way to exterminate. When they wage such wars, the Chapter favours using flame weapons and use ferocious close assaults to root out such heresy. So firm are they in this conviction to purge the Warp's taint, that the Keepers will justify whatever collateral damage they cause to do so. The Chapter's power armour scheme reflects this and is meant to capture the image of both purity and constant war. The white represents sanctity, but it is left covered in numerous scratches and battle damage, in order to show the Keepers never stop fighting. By doing so, the Chapter shows resilience and endurance as they serve as a knightly bulwark against the outer darkness.[1]
However, some Inquisitors suspect the Keepers are hiding a heretical degeneracy within their Chapter. Though none have yet secured proof of this, the Keepers appear to go to great pains to hide hints of a dark secret they hold. The Chapter has also either lost or never possessed records concerning who their progenitor is.[1]
