The founding of the Consecrators was initiated in secret by [[Dark Angels]] [[Supreme Grand Master]] [[Valafar (Dark Angels)|Valafar]] for the purpose of seeking out and preserving the history of the [[Unforgiven]].{{Fn|3c}} . Prior to the 3rd century of the [[M40|40th millennium]] there is no record of their existence. They appear to have inherited the most revered arms of the Dark Angels Legion, preserving them carefully through the ages. They bear a close resemblance to the Dark Angels before the [[Horus Heresy]], maintaining the legionLegion's original black colour and (prior too recieving Primaris reinforcements), wearing ancient patterns [[power armour]] no newer than Mark 6 "Corvus".{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|7}}[[Image:Consecrators Marine.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Consecrators [[Firstborn]] ]]They have their own agenda and soon disappear after their mysterious objectives are complete.{{Fn|2}} . Most of their wargear are ancient relics, taken from rediscovered Legiones Astartes depots and armouries. They are known to have sent several missions into the ruins of [[Caliban]] in their quest for ancient heirlooms of the Legion.{{fn|3b}}. The Consecrators use these relics in their hunt for [[Fallen Angels]], by planting them in closely monitored locations and waiting for the relics' presence to become known. Once the Fallen are aware of the relics, some try to claim these treasures against their better judgement. Whether driven by vanity, spite or a longing for things lost, the Consecrators ensure these Fallen pay the ultimate price for their indiscretion.{{Fn|13}}
