The '''Order of the Jackal''' was one of the three ''Red Orders'' of the [[Thousand Sons]] [[Legion]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
Known as the ''Measure of Life and Death'', the role of this order was twofold: to remember the dead and to raise the next generation of warriors to fight for the [[Legion]]. It was the Order of the Jackal that interred approved wounded Thousand Sons into [[Dreadnought]]s and trained [[Aspirant]]s and [[Neophyte]]s into new Space Marines as well as managing [[Gene-Seed]]. The Order also attended to the dead of the Legion and maintained their legacy. As a result, the Order contained a large number of [[Apothecaries]].{{Fn|1}}
