The Flawless Host was originally known as the '''Shining Blades'''. From a [[gene-seed]] once considered free from taint, they were known for their purity and rigid mental training. Their reputation and string of victories produced a great hubris, believing they could never be defeated. This led to the [[Berillia Massacre]] in 498.[[M34]], in which they slaughtered all they came across in a frenzy of indignation after their magnificence was supposedly questioned. Becoming overwhelmed by [[Slaanesh]] and renaming themselves the Flawless Host, they have been a plague to the [[Imperium]] ever since.{{Fn|3}}
The Flawless Host is known to have taken part in the [[5th Black Crusade]]. In 006.[[M40]], the Flawless [[Pyrocataclysm of Vilidad Prime|invaded]] the world of [[Vilidad Prime]] after condemning a lack of beauty among its populace.{{Fn|7}} At some point they enslaved the world of [[Novaris]], envious of their craftsmanship and forcing the population to produce many weapons for them. However this ended when the [[Indomitus Crusade]] arrived and the newly formed [[Silver Templars]] pushed them off the world. During the battle, the Flawless Host Lord [[Lyrius Soulslaver]] was slain by Captain [[Ducas]] of the 1st Company.{{Fn|12}}
The Flawless Host fought alongside the [[Black Legion]] during the [[War of Beasts]] on [[Vigilus]].{{Fn|9}}
