The Legion was founded sometime during the [[Age of Strife]] and at the time was the primary tool of power of the pocket empire of [[Gryphonne IV]]. The planet itself had been colonized by [[Tech-priest]]s from [[Mars]]. The legion became one of the largest and most well-equipped of the [[Great Crusade]] alongside the [[Legio Mortis]], [[Legio Destructor]], [[Legio Crucius]] and [[Legio Magna]]. It gained many battle-honours, most notably in the [[Rangdan Genocide]] and [[Ullanor Crusade]]. {{Fn|7a}} When the [[Horus Heresy]] broke out, the Legion remained true to the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]]. However , before the rebellion [[Horus]] had foreseen this decision and scattered the Legion across the [[Galaxy]] under the pretense of their presence being necessary for many smaller campaigns.{{Fn|3}} Warzones included the [[Ruin of Maedran]], [[Battle of Molech]], the [[First Battle of Paramar]], and the [[Battle of Beta-Garmon]].

However the The Legion suffered a catastrophic defeat in [[997.[[M41]] when its [[Forge World]] of [[Gryphonne IV]] was overrun by [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. During the battle, the majority of the Legion was torn to pieces by swarms of [[Tyranid]] [[Hierophant]]s and [[Tyrannofex]]es. However , a portion of the Legion survived the tragedy and was able to provide a total of eight Battle Titans to the [[Betalis Campaign]] against the [[Eldar]].{{Fn|2}}. Some of its surviving Titans also took part in the defense of [[Cadia]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. The [[Fortress World]] was destroyed in that conflict, but the final fate of the Legio's Titans is unknown.{{Fn|6}}
