→Background
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>
It is generally acknowledged that Anaziel had the '''Disciples of Caliban''' created for a very specific and secretive purpose - rumored amongst the other [[Unforgiven]] to be the pursuit and capture of the renegade known as [[Cypher]], though none outside this Chapter's Inner Circle know if this is really is their true purpose. The '''Disciples of Caliban''' are a very mobile Chapter, and their fortress fleet has been sighted in conflicts the length and breadth of the [[Imperium]], and sometimes far beyond. Speculation exists that many of these conflicts were instigated or fueled by the presence of [[Cypher]], and the '''Disciples of Caliban''' have become experts at detecting even the most subtle tell-tale signs of the [[Fallen]].<sup>1</sup>
The warriors of the '''Disciples of Caliban''' are virtuous and noble to the highest degree, utter unflinching in their sacred duties. The Chapter fleet houses great reliquaries celebrating the successes of their warriors and their forebears, and each Company has several Relic Bearers who carry these artifacts to war to inspire the battle brethren to the greatest feats of valor.<sup>1</sup>
