==History==
The Flames of Aries are a headstrong Chapter, which found themselves within the [[Imperium Nihilus]], in the wake of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation. With the [[Imperium]] now beset by numerous foes, [[Chapter Master]] [[Rigentus]] led the Flames of Aries' fleet into a series of unrelenting battles, to stem the tide. Eventually, though, the Chapter met their match in the [[Ork]] infested [[Villipan System]], where they were surrounded after carving a path through the [[Xenos]]' forces. With their end in sight, the Chapter decided to fight a glorious last stand and were destroyed by the Orks. Unbeknownst to the Flames of Aries, however, a [[Torchbearers]] task force, led by the [[Custodes]] [[Shield-Captain]] [[Galion Magethus]], had been searching for the Chapter in order to give them the tools needed to create [[Primaris Space Marines]]. By the time they arrived in the Villipan System , though, it appeared the task force was too late, until [[Magos Dominus]] [[Zuhulis Vul]] discovered life-signs aboard the Chapter's damaged [[Strike Cruiser]], [[Spear of Aries]].{{Fn|1}}
A group of 20 Flames of Aries, led by the [[Librarian]] [[Salas Dimarco]], still lived, but they were fighting off a horde of [[Orks]] that had invaded the [[Spear of Aries]]. [[Shield-Captain]] [[Galion Magethus]], led his [[Custodes]] to their aid and alongside him were the [[Greyshield]] [[Primaris|Primaris Space Marines]] sent to reinforce the Chapter, led by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Alagon Mors]]. Together the Imperials were able to destroy the Orks and the Torchbearers then began to rebuild the Flames of Aries. Soon the Chapter was given the ability to create Primaris and was reinforced with ten [[Space Marine Company|Companies]] worth of former Greyshields. The Spear of Aries was also repaired and with the seeming death of [[Rigentus]], Alagon Mors was made the Flames of Aries ' new [[Chapter Master]].{{Fn|1}}
