The '''Red-marked''' were a specialised unit of [[Ultramarines]] active during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1c}}
==Overview==
Formed by [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Aeonid Thiel]] in the wake of the [[Shadow Crusade]], the Red-marked operated at the edges of [[Ultramar]], protecting the realm's fringes from attacks by those [[Chaos Space Marine|Traitor]] forces that lingered in the region. The unit's name was a twofold reference - firstly to Aeonid Thiel's helmet, which was painted red prior to the [[Battle of Calth]] as a mark of censure that Thiel kept even after he was exonerated in the fighting, and to the units' members practice of painting a vertical red stripe on their helmets, as a secret sign and method of distinguishing between allies and enemies attempting to disguise themselves as Ultramarines using scavenged armour or sorcery.{{Fn|1c}}
The unit was based out of the [[Strike Cruiser]] ''[[Defiance of Calth]]''.{{Fn|1c}}
