In order to absolve themselves of the Legion's ancient sin, the Unforgiven have the self-appointed task of hunting down and capturing all of the Marines who turned to [[Chaos]] at the downfall ("the [[Fallen]]") and making them repent in some way. They will execute this task to the letter, often abandoning campaigns and battles at vital junctions to follow a lead. Some question the loyalty of the Dark Angels for this reason and that they give this special agenda greater importance than the orders of the [[Emperor]] himself. Even when fighting with allies the Dark Angels keep their own company, lest someone learn something of their shameful history by mistake and let their greatest secret escape. Each Unforgiven chapter closely follows the Dark Angels organization;List each has its Inner Circle, and each has formations similar to the Dark Angels' [[Deathwing]] and [[Ravenwing]] companies. All of the Unforgiven chapters coordinate their actions in regard to their secret mission, and it is not unknown for the Supreme [[Dark Angels Grand Master|Grand Master]]s of the respective chapters to hold summit meetings within [[the Rock]].{{Fn|1}} == Known Unforgiven Chapters ==The known Unforgiven Chapters<sup>chapters include{{Fn|1</sup>}}:
