Over a 100 years ago===The Great Crusade===[[Image:PhDarkAngel.jpg|thumb|right|Pre-Heresy Dark Angels Space Marine with jump-pack]]The Dark Angels have the honour of being the first Legion created by [[The Emperor]]. Like the other Primarchs, some planetary ruler insulted Leman Russ and Lion El'Jonson was lost while he got all pissy about itwas still in his infancy. Then Lion ended He later turned up killing on the leader and Leman was like "Whatchu do that fo' fool?" because ''he'' wanted distant planet of [[Caliban]], which bore some resemblance to take the bitch-ass outearly medieval [[Terra]]. And Lion was like "fuck off[[Luther]], furry," despite who discovered El'Jonson and prevented his furtastic name and death at the hands of his dickish kill-stealing. Lemanfellow knights, never being good with words, reason, or sobriety, megaton punched was a member of the Lion. [[The two of them fought for a day or twoOrder|Order]], an epic struggle between cool-headed tactician and hot-blooded barbarianorganization of knights, douchebag and bro-tardthe two become close friends. Then Leman said this was stupid, The Primarch eventually became the leader of the Order and Lion knocked him outthe whole of Caliban.

In true Meanwhile, unknown to the people of Caliban, the Emperor was waging his [[animeGreat Crusade]] fashionacross the galaxy, After Leman regained consciousness reuniting humanity and was less-inebriated, purging entire star systems of their alien oppressors. As the two eventually became best buds and treated it as water under [[Imperium|Imperium's]] wave of conquest advanced across the bridgegalaxy, but their respective chapters carry on Imperial scouts rediscovered the friendly rivalry, a pair isolated world of champions engaging in sacred and non-fatal honor duels whenever Caliban. It was not long before the Dark Angels Emperor was at last reunited with El'Jonson and was filled with joy as would be a father on finding his lost son. The Emperor's first action was to give Lion El'Jonson control of his 1st Legion. This legion of [[Space WolvesMarines]] meet. And a couple of lightyears away, had been created by the Emperor from its Primarch's DNA samples and had fought alongside the other Imperial forces as the Tyranids eat a planet while two of Great Crusade was waged across the most important Space Marine chapters waste time on this Nerf chainsword duel honour bullshitgalaxy.¹

They have apparently also become The 1st Legion was thereafter termed the love-chapter of some Dark Angels, in reference to a Caliban legend that told of GWs writersgreat, scince they now have righteous heroes who held back monsters. Announced by the best motorcycle squads around (yesPrimarch, apparently even better than the White Scars)connotation was in fact first drawn by Luther, who quoted a section from the legend upon first seeing [[Astartes]] descending using [[Jump pack|jump-packs]]: "And the last jetbike in angels of darkness descended upon pinions of fire and light...the Imperium, great and servant aliensterrible dark angels."²

== History Caliban was made the homeworld of the Dark Angels ==[[File:Luther.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Luther, and the Clint Eastwood whole of the 31st millennium]]Due Order moved to a slight mutation in their geneseed, join the ranks of the Dark Angels had a slight predisposition to be [[emoAstartes]], but other than that, they . Those knights who were coolstill young enough had the Legion's gene seed implanted within them. They killed lots Those too old for this process underwent surgery to transform them into elite warriors of the [[OrksImperium]] . Although they were not full Space Marines, their enhancements granted them special abilities and other xeno scum for great justice and were a lifespan beyond those of normal men. The first to be brought into the most successful Legion during in this way was Luther, who became Jonson's second-in-command, just as he always had been within the Order. However, the early years of Dark Angel's contributions to the great crusade, though their critics pointed out that Great Crusade had barely begun when the Lion sent Luther and a small contingent of Dark Angelsback to Caliban, being purportedly to garrison the world and increase the speed and quality of the training given to the First Legion's recruits. Whatever the reason, got a head startthe force sent back felt disgraced and rejected.²

The Great Crusade, had to go on:there were countless human worlds that were still under the influence of Chaos or suppressed by the harsh rule of alien races. So it was that Jonson and many of the Dark Angels continued on the Emperor''(Note: they might have been s Crusade for the 1st Legion, but Horus Lupercal reunification of humanity while [[Luther]] was left behind in charge of the remainder of the first Primarch to be discovered, and as such he got a head start, not them; his Legion was also on Caliban. Despite the most successful oneimportance of Luther's position, hence he it was appointed Warmaster and not Jonsonone that suited his ambitious personality.)

During the Horus Heresy Lion El'Jonson rushed to come to and his Legion performed well during the aid Great Crusade, although during a particular battle, he and [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]], Primarch of the Emperor[[Space Wolves]] Legion, fighting his way through came to blows over the Night Lords and traitor guard to reach Terra. He didnlatter't make it in time, and shockingly returned home to Caliban only to find that <s>his closest friend Luther had turned to Chaos, converting action during the garrison force with him</s> EVERYTHING WAS A-OK. The Lion <s>fought his way into his own fortress</s> KICKED BACK and <s>dueled Luther for the fate siege of the legion</s> HAD SOME BREWSKISCrimson Fortress. When daybreak came Caliban was nothing more than an asteroid field, This event began a result of <s>feud which still continues strong in the Dark Angels loyalists bombarding their own planet so mercilessly</s> SOMEBODY LEAVING THE GAS ON IN THE FORTRESS MONASTERY.

Oh, and the <s>traitors</s> LOYAL. TOTALLY LOYAL AND NOT ACTUALLY TRAITORS Dark Angels painted their armor green. This rather stressing turn of events caused one Dark Angel to comment, "I hate [[Mondays]]manifest itself in a very violent manner."

Because Caliban was far away from many Imperial Worlds, As Jonson's fame spread throughout the core leaders galaxy and reports of his great deeds and prowess in battle reached the Dark Angels known as the "Inner Circle" decided to cover up <Legion's>home world, Lutherfelt robbed of his share of the glory. He wanted the fame and recognition that he felt he deserved as Jonson's treason</s> THE COMPLETELY RANDOM ACCIDENT INVOLVING SOME FUCKTARD FIRING A FULL SALVO OF ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT CANNONS ON THE PLANET equal. His role as planetary governor of some half-forgotten backwater world seemed more and mask it as more to him like an freakish warp accidentinsult. The Imperium's not exactly sure what happened seed of jealousy and dissension that had been planted within Luther when Jonson was made the Grand Master of the Order now began to Caliban grow and rankle within his heart as anyone who investigates about this matter, even Inquisitors, disappears faster than Candlejack snatching away a victim after saying Cathe Primarch became more and more celebrated and famous.¹

==After the destruction of Caliban=The Horus Heresy===Ever since that fateful day ten thousand years ago, the [[Image:Dark Angels black.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Heresy-era Dark Angels have striven to prove to ]]During the Emprah and their Primarch that they are still cool guys to hang around with, despite their earlier <s>[[Horus Heresy]]</s> ABSOLUTE LOYALTY. Therefore, they have acquired toys like plasma cannon jetbikesthe Dark Angels were far from Terra, Terminators that count as scoring unitscampaigning on the shield worlds, and a mini-were unable to participate directly in the events taking place there. [[Warmaster]] Horus ordered the [[Wikipedia:Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp|GitmoNight Lords]] in an asteroid to torture intercept them on the FallenEastern Fringe and stop them from aiding the Emperor, in order but the Dark Angels were eventually able to prove set course for Terra after the siege began.

However, during this time, the Dark Angelswho had been left behind on Caliban became agitated at being forced to essentially babysit a backwater planet. This led to the leader of the garrison, Luther, turning to the [[Gods of Chaos|dark gods]] of [[Chaos]], who had just been defeated with the death of their champion [[Horus]]during the Heresy.

===The Great Betrayal===[[CategoryImage:PreheresyDarkAngel.jpg|thumb|left|Dark Angels Space Marine, original colours]]The Dark Angels returned to Caliban after the war, but they were fired upon by the planetary defences. They were forced to assault their own homeworld, where they found that their brethren had betrayed them. In a duel which mirrored that of the Emperor and Horus, Luther and Lion El'Jonson fought, resulting in Luther mortally wounding his former friend. Luther went insane upon realizing he had struck down his close friend and was captured. In a fit of rage at being defeated once again, the Chaos Gods opened a warp rift in the planet which scattered the traitorous "[[The Fallen|Fallen Angels]]" throughout the galaxy.¹ One of the "Fallen Angels" who escaped is [[Cypher]], who reportedly took with him the Lion Blade, the sword of El'Jonson, when he was sent through the warp. The Dark Angel space fleet also bombarded the planet mercilessly, and this caused the structure of the planet to collapse. The bombardment, combined with the newly formed warp rift, broke the planet up and it is now an asteroid field. This betrayal has tainted their honour in the eyes of the Dark Angels themselves. Given that the event was purely within the Legion itself, and was on a world far from Terra, nobody outside of the Legion knows it occurred. Within the Chapters itself, only the elite veterans are permitted this knowledge - in the modern Dark Angels Chapter, only the [[Deathwing]] and senior officers know this secret. The Chapter leadership will go to great lengths to ensure that this knowledge does not reach the Imperium at large, even at times going so far as to disobey direct orders from [[Inquisitors]] and cause overly curious individuals to "disappear". Only the most senior members, known as the Inner Circle, know the greatest secret - that Luther, the great traitor, is still alive and insane, living in a cell deep within the Rock. Lion El'Jonson's body was supposedly never found; Luther claims, in his near-senseless mutterings, that the Lion is near and will return and forgive him. The Lion actually sleeps in the most secret chamber in the rock, his presence known only by the [[Watchers in the Dark]] and the Emperor himself, until the time he will awaken and lead his chapter on a new and even greater crusade. === Controversy of 'The Great Betrayal' ===In the novel 'Angels of Darkness' by Gav Thorpe, a different version of the events of Caliban is presented. Here it is presented that a Terran Dark Angels 'Chapter Master Astelan' is the one that ordered the planetary defenses to shoot at the returning Dark Angels. This terrible truth is uncovered by the Dark Angels Chaplain Boreas.<br />This controversy is furthermore reinforced in the novel 'Fallen Angels' by Mike Lee, where Luther is portrayed as the 'savior of Caliban', the betrayal is pictured as a liberation from the empire for the sake of Caliban. Furthermore Astelan is put in charge of Caliban's entire defense. ===The Aftermath of Caliban===Caliban was destroyed during the Betrayal, shattered by the warp rift and orbital bombardment. The remains now form a sizeable asteroid field. The largest piece, which survived due to the massive void shields in operation around the largest fortress-monastery, called the [[Tower of Angels]], was hollowed out and became a gigantic spaceship/monastery which is now the home of the Dark Angels. This ship is known simply as [[The Rock]]. Sometime after the Betrayal, the Dark Angels changed their primary heraldry colour from black to dark green. This story of treachery and betrayal is the Dark Angels' secret shame. None know of it other than some of the Dark Angels, their Successor Chapters and, maybe, the Emperor on his Golden Throne. Within the Chapter itself very few Brother-Marines know exactly what happened during those fateful days. The organisation of the Dark Angels Chapter has been shaped primarily by events in its history. As a result it is different from that of any other. The Chapter is monastic in nature with much time being given over to worship and prayer. There are also many different levels within the Chapter which individuals may gradually rise through. On attaining each level, they find out a little more about the truth behind the Dark Angels' origins. Most Dark Angels themselves know nothing about the beginnings of the Chapter. It is only those at the very top who have learned the whole truth. The bulk of the Dark Angels Chapter is organised along strict Codex lines, as laid down in the Codex Astartes. However, the First Company and the Second Company both have special organisations. The Second Company is known as the [[Ravenwing]], and is trained as a special mobile formation equipped completely with either bikes or land speeders. The First Company is the famous Deathwing, and although it appears superficially to be the same as any other Chapter's First Company, it is actually a highly specialised formation. It is only when Dark Angels reach the Deathwing that they learn the story of Luther's betrayal. More terrible still they learn that many of the Dark Angels that followed Luther are still alive. These damned warriors are known as the Fallen Angels, or simply "the Fallen", and it is the eradication of this stain on the Chapter's honour which drives and motivates the Chapter to this day. As long as still one of the Fallen stays alive, the honour of the Chapter will never be restored. Even within the Deathwing company there are various levels of admission, and with these come gradually increasing levels of knowledge. ===The Fallen Dark Angels===In the eyes of the Dark Angels Space Marines, the only way that they can rid themselves totally of their shame, and restore their honour and trust in the Emperor's eyes, is if all the Fallen are found and are either made to repent or slain. However, since the Fallen were cast through the warp to all corners of space and time, this is no mean task for the Dark Angels to achieve. Unlike the Inquisitors and [[Grey Knights]] of the Imperium, whose role it is to root out the agents of Chaos at work within the galaxy, in this regard the Dark Angels are only concerned with finding the Fallen of their Chapter. Although the Dark Angels will be called upon for many different missions for the Imperium, the search for their Fallen comrades is a constant quest that they can never relinquish. Not all of the Dark Angels' damned brethren have succumbed to the power of Chaos to the same degree. Some of the Fallen have embraced the ways of the Dark Gods totally, becoming true [[Chaos Space Marines]]. These Fallen do not belong to a warband or Legion of their own, like [[Angron|Angron's]] [[World Eaters]]. Instead they are dispersed throughout space and time as either isolated individuals or in small bands. However, most of the Fallen realise that their actions prior to the fall of Caliban were wrong. Disgusted by the corrupting influence of the Chaos gods, and unable to reconcile themselves with their order, they lead a solitary existence. Many of them become mercenaries or pirates, roaming the galaxy as master-less men. Others are willing to atone for their sins and in an attempt to do so have integrated themselves back into human societies taking on the role of any ordinary person. This only makes the Dark Angels' task of finding the Fallen much more difficult, as they are not easy to identify as such. But it is still the Dark Angels' duty to try and track them down. In order to do so, they investigate any rumour or story relating to the Fallen in case it should lead them to one of their corrupted brethren. The Dark Angels can go for years without hearing any rumours that might lead them to one or more of the Fallen. When they do, however, and their mission is a success, those Fallen that are captured are taken back to the Fortress-Monastery. Deep inside its dungeons, [[Interrogator-Chaplains]] attempt to make the Fallen repent. Occasionally they do, and in return for their confession their deaths are made quick and painless. More often than not, though, the captured Fallen refuse to acknowledge their wrongdoing, and so their souls are purified by extreme suffering, before an agonising death at the hands of the Interrogator-Chaplains. ==Organisation==[[Image:Darkangelsminiature.jpg|thumb|250px|right|A Dark Angel]] To outside observers, the Dark Angels seem to follow the Astartes organization. It is in the organization of the Dark Angels' higher levels that the chapter deviates from the dictates of the [[Codex Astartes]]. At the highest level of the Chapter is the Inner Circle, which consists of a number of officers who stand apart from the company organization, and include the Chapter's Librarians and Interrogator-Chaplains. Companies are each led by a Master, who is part of the Inner Circle. The first two companies are uniquely organized. The first company is called the [[Deathwing]] which fights exclusively in [[Terminator armour]]. The second is the [[Ravenwing]], which is a formation consisting entirely of fast and highly mobile units such as [[bike]] and [[Land Speeder]] squadrons. The remainder of the Chapter is organized along Codex lines. ===Headquarters===The ruins of Caliban are located in the Cadian sector, close to the Eye of Terror. Prior to the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, the planet of Caliban was covered with lush forests inhabited by creatures warped by Chaos. The humans of the planet were a proud, martial people forced to live in great fortress monasteries of stone. The Dark Angels rebuilt their fortress-monastery on the asteroid that had borne the old one, drilling deep into the bedrock and rebuilding the ruins. The new fortress is known officially as The Tower of Angels, but is more commonly referred to as The Rock. The Rock has been equipped with warp engines, enabling faster-than-light transit through the Immaterium.¹ The warrens beneath The Rock are where the Dark Angels bring their fallen brethren to be redeemed by their Interrogator-Chaplains. It is believed by the Inquisition to hold many other secrets. One such secret is known only to the Inner Circle: Luther is still alive, imprisoned within the deepest cavern of The Rock, where he still insanely mutters that one day, El'Jonson will return and forgive him. That day, so the madman said to current Supreme Grand Master [[Azrael]], is almost at hand.{{Cite This}} However, even this pales in comparison to the greatest secret held by the Dark Angels. This secret is known only to the [[Watchers in the Dark]], and to the Emperor himself. Deep within the bedrock of the asteroid which is their home there is a solitary chamber. In this chamber, attended to by the Watchers in the Dark, lies the sleeping form of Lion El'Jonson.{{Cite This}} ===Recruitment===[[Image:Deathwing terminator.JPG|thumb|left|150px|Deathwing Terminator]]As the Dark Angels are no longer based on an actual world, they draw their recruits from a variety of planets, mainly highly primitive worlds. One of these worlds is the [[feral world]] [[Kimmeria]], from which [[Azrael]] himself was recruited. Representatives of the Dark Angels visit each recruiting world once within a normal human's lifetime, and take the strongest juveniles from the population. Each recruit is thoroughly screened, and from the moment he is accepted into the Chapter as a Space Marine his past becomes irrelevant.¹ After the Heresy, the Dark Angels recruited from a single planet (known as the [[Plains World]]) whose inhabitants resembled Native Americans. Sometime before the 41st Millennium a group of returning Deathwing found that their planet had been overrun fifty years earlier by [[Genestealer]]s, with only a few untainted humans remaining. The Terminators, whose duty and honour required the extermination of the genestealers, prepared themselves for battle. Because the odds of their success were nearly non-existent, the Terminators engaged in their native death ritual. Instead of anointing their skin with white ash, they anointed their armour. The Terminators cleansed the world and rescued the enslaved populace, and in honour of those few Terminators, their armour was ever after white. Meanwhile, the Dark Angels leadership, the Inner Circle, recognized the folly of relying upon one planet for manpower and so diversified their recruiting grounds.³ ===The Deathwing===''See main article:'' [[Deathwing]] The First Company of the Dark Angels is the Deathwing. It includes 20 [[Terminator Squad]]s, several [[Dreadnought]]s and [[Land Raider]]s. Its command staff includes the Deathwing Master [[Belial]], a [[Chaplain]], an [[Apothecary]] and a [[Standard Bearer]]. ===The Ravenwing===''See main article:'' [[Ravenwing]] The Second Company of the Dark Angels is the Ravenwing.
