They can be unleashed in packs, while fighting beside armies of the faithful, though, the Sister of Battle typically use them more sparingly. An exception is the [[Order of the Valorous Heart]], however, who have drawn great inspiration from the redemptive suffering of their Arco-flagellant kill-throngs. While most Arco-flagellants live short and violent existences, some manage to survive multiple battles. Known as an '''Endurant''', such a warrior is judged to have earned a measure of redemption from the [[God-Emperor]], and fights with even greater ferocity than their kin. As a result, they are the first of their Arco-flagellant pack to spill blood, and often the last member left standing at the end of a battle.{{Fn|7}}
==Seraphs==
A higher order of Arco-flagellant used by the [[Inquisition]], these living weapons are created from those rare individuals possessing the [[Pariah Gene]], to combat the [[warp]]. Seraphs serve as bodyguards and weapons for their masters and are clad in red robes woven with sacred names, infused with warding circuits crawling with symbols and words of dead tongues and equipped with both pacifier helms and [[null limiter]]s to keep them docile and contain their dampening aura. Even [[Sorcerer]]s as old and powerful as [[Ahzek Ahriman]] were forced to flee in their precences, lest they be rendered utterly helpless.{{Fn|8a}}{{Fn|8b}}
