[[Image:FallenArt.jpg|thumb|right|A variety of Fallen in the [[41st Millennium]] ]]
There are several different types of Fallen. Not They have no unified outlook or goal. Many Fallen are non-Chaos renegades who seek the destruction of the Imperium, others serve the Dark Gods, yet still others realise they were mislead in their rebellion and once again fight in the Emperor's name. While not all of them have succumbed to the powers of Chaos, although every [[Psyker]] captured by the [[Dark Angels]] has been so far. {{Fn|5}} A large number of the Fallen have become true [[Chaos Space Marines]], but many others realise that their actions during the fall of Caliban were questionable. Others, claiming that the Lion himself was Chaos-tainted and that Luther was the true loyalist have remained unrepentant and possessed of the same ideals they fought for during Caliban's fall. Disgusted by the perverse [[Chaos Gods]] and unable to reconcile themselves with the [[Imperium]], such members of the Fallen often lead a solitary existence. Many become mercenaries or pirates, while others attempt to integrate themselves back into 'normal' human societies. Some Fallen, however, have realized their mistake and fight on their own in the Lion's name once more.{{Cite this}}
All of that is irrelevant to the Dark Angels, who believe that the only way they can restore their honour and trust within the Emperor's eyes is if all the Fallen are found and either made to repent or are slain. Consequently, the Dark Angels and the rest of the Unforgiven constantly hunt for the Fallen and regularly prioritise it above other concerns.{{Cite this}}
