==Background==
The founding of the '''Disciples of Caliban''' is shrouded not only in mystery but also controversy. It is believed that [[Dark Angels]] [[Chapter Master]] Anaziel made a strong request of the [[High Lords of Terra]] for a Chapter to be raised late in the 37th Millennium. At the time, such a request was unheard of from a [[Chapter Master]]and no clear reason was given by the [[Dark Angels]]. Eventually their request was granted and the [[Disciples of Caliban]] were created.<sup>1</sup>
The [[gene-seed]] was of the highest pedigree held by the [[Dark Angels]] at the time, and was examined using standards far beyond even that required by the [[Adeptus Terra]]. To this day the purity of the Chapter's [[gene-seed]] is constantly monitored for the slightest sign of corruption or degradation, and it has the most exacting standards of recruitment of any of the [[Unforgiven]].<sup>1</sup>
