→Overview
Marbas first came to the Dark Angels' attention in [[M36]], when the [[Chapter]] received reports of a Fallen bearing his name leading a [[Chaos]] Warband. How the Daemon Prince of the same name came to earn the vile favours of the [[Dark Gods]], or even if it is the same being, is unknown. All that can be sure is that Marbas now speaks too much truth and his actions in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation have made him infamous to the [[Unforgiven]].{{Fn|1a}}
This occurred after he led a [[Daemon]] army in [[Siege of The Rock|invading]] [[The Rock]], which caused the Dark Angels Chapter to suffer heavy casualties{{Fn|1b}}. The [[Dark Angels Grand Master|Grand Master]] [[Sammael]] was nearly among them, but the [[Deathwing]] Grand Master [[Belial]] intervened in time to prevent Marbas from crushing the [[Ravenwing]] Master to death. Before Belial could destroy Marbas , however, the Daemon Prince escaped back into the [[Warp]]{{Fn|1c}} , and his Daemonic daemonic army quickly followed him. Though it seemed as if Marbas achieved little beyond mindless slaughter and destruction, [[Supreme Grand Master]] [[Azrael]] soon discovered that the Fallen [[Luther]] was freed during the Daemon Prince's invasion. Though the rest of the Dark Angels and their [[Successor Chapter]]s are unaware of this{{Fn|1b}}, the mere fact that Marbas invaded The Rock has now made him the [[Unforgiven]]'s second most pursued Fallen, after [[Cypher]]{{Fn|1a}}. None seek him out more than Sammael, as the Ravenwing Master seeks revenge for nearly dying at the Daemon Prince's hand.{{Fn|1d}}
