The Soul Drinkers do not fit the standard template of [[Excommunicate Traitoris]]. Unlike most such chapters [[chapter]]s which have devoted themselves to the foul gods of [[chaos]], the Soul Drinkers despise the Ruinous Powers as much if not more than they hate the [[Imperium ]] that cast them out. Instead, they have developed an ideology that states that the Imperium has betrayed everything the [[Emperor]] stood for and must be destroyed for the good of its citizens.
==Dealing with Tellos==
After the defeat of the heretic Teutocrat, the Soul Drinkers were forced to flee the moon, leaving several assault squads, who were under [[Tellos]]' command, behind. [[Tellos]] - who had bordered on Khornate rage before this betrayal - quickly fell under the Blood God's influence, subverting his assault squads to the service of [[Khorne]].
[[Chapter Master ]] [[Sarpedon ]] quickly caught wind of this heresy by his battle-brother and tracked Tellos to [[Entymion IV]], an Imperial world now held by a mysterious alliance of [[Dark Eldar ]] and Slaaneshi [[Slaanesh]]i Cultists. The [[Imperial Guard]], with the assistance of the [[Crimson Fists]], were at that moment trying to liberate the world.
Upon their arrival on Entymion IV, the Soul Drinkers immediately began investigating the situation. The Dark Eldar - clearly bearing betrayal in mind - offered Sarpedon an Alliance, which Sarpedon - also planning betrayal - accepted.
