So strong is the link between this Chapter and the three great Inquisitorial orders that rumours abound that they had been founded at the request of the Inquisitorial Representative on [[Terra]], and that there was a secret pact between the Inquisition and the Chapter for mutual support. The Chapter is tied to the Inquisition by ancient bonds of honour and duty and are often called upon to face the servants of the Ruinous Powers and other fell enemies of Mankind. Fighting in Inquisitorial strike forces and providing protection for the most senior Inquisitor-Lords, the Red Hunters have confronted numerous horrors no mortals can face and be allowed to live should they survive, lest they taint others.{{cite thisFn|5a}}

Although still a Chapter of Space Marines that look to the [[Codex Astartes]] for its organisation and spiritual guidance, the Chapter makes their squads available for rapid responses to Inquisitorial calls for assistance. Often times, an [[honour guard]] of Red Hunters squads are called forward to the frontlines to provide personal protection to high ranking [[Inquisitor Lord]]s.{{cite thisFn|5b}}

*'''812-830.[[M41]]''': [[Siege of Vraks]] — The Siege of Vraks saw the deployment of a significant force of Red Hunters, centered around the 3rd Company. The entire force was never deployed as a single unit and were often divided amongst [[Ordo Malleus]] [[Inquisitors]] to act as an elite cadre of shock troops for their operations. Hence, squads and vehicles could be found just about anywhere along the front, with Red Hunters being present in small numbers at most major battles until the end of the campaign. The Red Hunters saw extensive action during the final stages of the Siege of [[Vraks]], mainly in offensive actions against the final renegade stronghold, the Citadel.{{Fn|2a}} A particularly dark day for the chapter saw roughly 150 brothers of the chapter perform an ill-fated [[drop pod]] assault on the Armoury Gate, which led to the citadel's undercroft. Unfortunately they were beset by a Chaos [[Reaver Battle Titan]] of the ''Legio Vulcanum'' and hordes of archenemy soldiers. Despite attempts by the 269th [[Death Korps of Krieg|Death Korps]] Siege Regiment's efforts to breach the gate and provide an escape route for the Red Hunters trapped in the "Death Pit", the entire force was destroyed to a man.{{Fn|2b2a}} The Red Hunters saw action once again alongside [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Hector Rex]], brother [[Astartes]] of the [[Grey Knights]] Chapter, and Krieg Grenadiers of the 158th and 150th regiments. This engagement would be more successful than the assault on the Armoury Gate and see the Cardinal Gate breached and the [[Bloodthirster]] [[An'ggrath]] banished back to the warp. The final engagements also saw the deployment of Red Hunters [[Terminator Squad]]s. They were critical in aiding the Death Korps Engineers' efforts to clear the Undercroft. The 3rd Squad of 1st Company, Squad Zokura, achieved a kill-to-death ratio of 97:1 during this operation.{{Cite thisFn|2b}}
