The creator, ''Syama Pederson'', has delved further into the lore of the Chapter on his [[Wikipedia:Patreon|Patreon]], including their founding chapter and background. Since he has done so in his private capacity and not in his role as an associate of [[Games Workshop]] this information cannot be regarded as officially endorsed by the company. According to the information given on ''Patreon'' the ''Retributors'' are descendants of the [[Imperial Fists]]{{Fn|3}} and are [[Fleet-Based|fleet-based]]{{Fn|3}}, the [[Chapter Master]] is [[Augustus Vantor]]{{Fn|3}}. Their exact strength is not stated but described as [[Codex Astartes|Codex compliant]]with tolerable deviance.{{Fn|3}} The ''Retributors''' specialty is shock assault and high-risk targeting.{{Fn|3}} They operate primarily along the [[Eastern Fringe]].{{Fn|3}}
Described as relentless, efficient, and distant, they are known for their stern and austere nature who are more interested in battlefield success than glory. Their doctrine maintains that their forces are applied as widely as possible across a theatre, operating in small self-sufficient units tasked with eliminating as many as high-risk targets as possible. Their "Impulsor" Squads are leaders in this strategy and are known to work in a highly independent fashion with other supporting Imperial elements.{{Fn|3}}
