'''House Lucaris''', also known as the '''House of Serpents''' and '''Fanged Knights'''{{Fn|22a}} is a [[Renegade Knight|Traitor]] [[Knight House]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
House Lucaris is an infamous house known for their bold and tenacious nature. Originally swearing themselves to the [[Luna Wolves]] during the [[Great Crusade]], the Knights of [[Morda Prime]] saw in [[Horus]] their own tenets of virtue through strength and mercy through dominance. When Horus turned against the [[Emperor]], Lucaris held their vows and followed him into damnation. Following the death of Horus, Lucaris swore vengeance against the [[Imperium]] and revoked their allegiance to the newly created [[Black Legion]] which they saw as having abandoned the [[Warmaster]]. In the millennia since the Heresy they have waged war against both the Imperium and [[Chaos Space Marine]]s, though there are accounts of them sometimes allying with the Black Legion.{{Fn|22a}}
