'''The Unforgiven''' refers collectively to the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Chapter]] and their [[Second Founding]] [[successor]] chapters. {{Fn|1d}} {{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} The name stems from the terrible events causing the downfall of [[Caliban]] and the corruption of a number of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Legion]] under [[Luther]]. {{Fn|1a}}
The arrival of [[Primaris Space Marine]]s has sent ripples of shock throughout the Unforgiven, for suddenly thousands of new sons of the [[Lion El'Jonson|Lion]] arrived without initiation to the rites and rituals of the [[Inner Circle]]. Some welcomed the new Primaris Space Marines while others maintain mistrust.{{Fn|5a}}
During the [[Arks of Omen Campaign]], [[The Rock]] was boarded by the forces of [[Vashtorr]] as part of his own agenda. This proved to provoke the fury of [[Dark Angels]] [[Supreme Grand Master]] [[Azrael]], who assembled as much of the Unforgiven as could be found. Ultimately, some 3/4th of their total strength was assembled for the [[Battle of Idolatros]].{{Fn|6a}} However the subsequent losses for the Unforgiven were grievous, so much so that [[Abaddon]] estimated they were severely reduced and may never again regain their former strength.{{Fn|6b}}
