==Background==
The Black Consuls were formed shortly after the [[Horus Heresy]]. [[Arrias Cordos]] was their first [[Chapter Master]].{{CME}}
The Black Consuls are a [[Primogenitor Chapter]] and were known to be the least compromising of the [[successor chapter]]s, dogmatically following the [[Codex Astartes]] no matter the situation.{{Fn|7}} For the vast majority of their history they were a [[Crusading Chapter]], stationed aboard the ancient [[star fort]] ''[[Noctis Obscurum]]''. However, in [[M40]] [[Dark Eldar]] saboteurs infiltrated the ''Obscurum'' and detonated the ancient fort's [[Warp drive]]. Afterwards the Black Consuls relocated to the planet [[Cyclopia]]. They spent the next three centuries on a vengeful crusade against Dark Eldar, purging fifteen star systems and invading the [[Webway]] itself and collapsing an entire sub-dimension.{{Fn|6}}
