==History==
In the year 800.M41, the predictions of the [[Prognosticar]]s led to [[Grey Knights Brother-Captain|Brother-Captain]] [[Pelenas]] taking as many Purifiers with him as possible to the [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]] of [[Malan'tai]], that had fallen to the [[Tyranids]], after which its ruined carcass was being fed on by the [[Keeper of Secrets]] [[N'Kari]]. A dozen of their number fell to the [[Greater Daemon]]'s power before Pelenas managed to defeat it and force it back into the Warp, whereupon a small number of Purifiers stood watch over Malan'tai until the Eldar returned to claim the fallen [[Spirit stone]]s.{{Fn|1b}}
==Organisation==
Purifiers are divided into squadrons led by a [[Knight of the Flame]] (effectively the Purifier equivalent of a [[Justicar]]).{{Fn|2}}
The Order of the Purifiers as a whole is led by a Grey Knight who holds the rank of [[Castellan Champion]], as they function as the [[Brotherhood Champion]] of the order in addition to leading its operations. The Castellan Champion also carries out of one the most arduous tasks in the Chapter, acting as the [[Warden of the Blade]] - the keeper of the dreaded [[Blade of Antwyr]].{{Fn|3}}
