Consumed by the Black Rage, the Death Company fights without fear, heedless of the quality of their opposition or the wounds they suffer. Under the watchful eye of their [[Death Company Chaplain]]s, the Death Company fights terrible odds to claim one last honour for the Chapter. Many of the Blood Angels' finest victories have come after the Death Company devastated the enemy forces. The Death Company's fearsome reputation has even spread to worlds that have not seen the Blood Angels in battle.{{Fn|1a}}
Those few members of the Death Company who survive an engagement usually perish shortly after, either from their wounds or by the hand of the [[Redeemer of the Lost]]. Since the [[Red Thirst]] inevitably follows the Black Rage, the Chapter considers it a better fate than turning into a mindless flesh-hungry beast.{{Fn|1a}}
Initially, it was thought that the new [[Primaris Space Marine]]s were more resistant to the Black Rage. However this is not the case, and multiple Primaris Marines have now succumb. They too have been put into the Death Company, organized into [[Intercessor Squad]]s.{{Fn|5}}
