The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', also known as the '''Death Stalkers'''{{Fn|3}}, are a [[Traitor Titan Legion]].{{Fn|1b}}
The Legio's symbol bares the mark of the [[Vorpus Sabrefang]], an ancient and extinct creature said to personify cunning in pursuit and savagery in strike. The elite of Vulpa's princeps even keep facsimile versions of the sabrefang as pets.{{Fn|5}}
==History==
===Age of Strife===
The Legio was founded upon [[Anvillus]] during the [[Age of Strife]] in order to combat the [[Jindarii]], a race of nomadic bio-mechanical hunters which wielded machines similar to [[Titan]]s. The first Knights of the House proved adapt in falling the temple-cities of the xenos. The final battle of the war saw the Legio conquer the forge-moon of [[Yythe]], located in the third closest star system to Anvillus. During the war it is said the Grand Matriarch of the Hyzebaru Tribe of the Jindarii, who stood 43 meters tall, slew seven Titans before being slain in turn. After the battle a 2km long line of Jindarii skulls were left along the Moon's greatest river, each one engraved with the stanza ''Here our greatest blades rest, firm in beliefthey knew death’s art, taught instead by those who stalk beneath itsshroud''. From that day forth, the Legio Vulpa bore the name ofDeath Stalkers with pride.{{Fn|7}}
The effect of the war saw the Legio mimic their Jindarii foes, adopting the same cumming, adaptability, and emphasis on stealth and speed over ranged weaponry. These tactics were compiled in the ''Libraxus Tacticate Vulpa''. In the centuries that followed the Legio proved instrumental in expanding Anvillus' domain.{{Fn|7}}
By the 41st Millennium, the Death Stalkers had apparently not been been active for an extended period of time, and knowledge of them had been reduced to legends.{{Fn|8}} However, they were seen among the forces of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] in the [[13th Black Crusade]].{{Fn|2}}
