'''The Fallen''' are renegade Space Marines that split off from the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion]] ten thousand years ago and has since been scattered across space and time by a [[Warp Storm]] . They are the secret enemy of the [[Unforgiven]], a group containing the modern Dark Angels [[Chapter]] and its successors. To those Fallen that dwell within the [[M41|41st Millennium]], many have become [[Chaos Space Marines]], others pirate and renegade warlords, while some have since regretted their heresy and live a life of peaceful seclusion.{{Fn|10}} Others have even gone on to [[The Risen|loyally serve the Imperium]].{{Fn|}}
==History==
This entire point of view, as told by a member of the Fallen, should be considered suspect at best and complete fabrication at worst; it could simply be a series of malicious lies or just a warped, inaccurate view of the entire incident. Often, those who fall under the sway of Chaos do not even realize that they are serving its ends, except that at the end of 'Angels of Darkness', Boreas asks for a tranmission to be sent to a solitary cell in the rock saying simply: 'You were right'. This cell is believed, by readers, to be that of either Astelan or Luther himself. This, from a loyal Dark Angel throws in to question the loyalty of the Dark Angels, The Fallen and Lion El'Johnson himself.{{Cite this}}
==The Risen==
In [[M42]] during the [[Arks of Omen Campaign]], Lion El'Jonson returned to defend the Imperium once more. Starting with the Fallen Angel [[Zabriel]], he has begun recruiting willing Fallen Angels that have been deemed loyal and pure from the taint of [[Chaos]]. These new warriors are known as [[The Risen]].{{Fn|21}}
