Changes

There are several different types of Fallen. They have no unified outlook or goal. Many Fallen are non-[[Chaos]] renegades who seek the destruction of the [[Imperium]] in a continuation of their rebellion. Others serve the [[Chaos Gods]] and have fully succumbed to Chaos, yet still others realise they were mislead misled in their rebellion and once again fight in the [[Emperor]]'s name.

While not all many of them their Fallen brothers have not succumbed to the powers of Chaos, although every [[Psyker]] captured by the [[Dark Angels]] thus far has been so far .{{Fn|5}}. A large number of the Fallen, though, have become true [[Chaos Space Marines]]. For some this was a natural step, cementing beliefs fomented by [[Luther]], and some Fallen feel their liege lost his sanity due to not aligning himself boldly enough with the Chaos Gods. For other Fallen Angels, their embracing of Chaos was an act of desperation; as they saw no chance for salvation in the fractured remnants of their Legion and home worldhomeworld. To them, the Chaos Gods were the only power that could shepherd them through the Warp and give them a renewed purpose. The Chaos Gods themselves have vied with one another, in order to claim these corrupted Fallen Angels as servants. While [[Khorne]] was quick to shackle the most ruthless and warlike of the Fallen, the other remaining Gods were more subtle in their advances. [[Nurgle]]'s emissaries sought out those Fallen that were driven to despair by the loss of [[Caliban]], and promised them the [[Garden of Nurgle]], which was a forested realm of a far more resilient kind than their lost Homeworld. From there, those Fallen that embraced Nurgle could plot their revenge against their foes.{{Fn|20a}}

However many Many other Fallen realize realise that their actions during the [[Destruction of Caliban]] were questionable. Others, claiming that the Lion himself was Chaos-tainted and that Luther was the true loyalist have remained unrepentant and possessed of the same ideals they fought for during Caliban's fall. Disgusted by the perverse [[Chaos Gods]] and unable to reconcile themselves with the [[Imperium]], such members of the Fallen often lead a solitary existence. Many become mercenaries or pirates, while others attempt to integrate themselves back into 'normal' human societies. Some Fallen, however, have realized realised their mistake and fight on their own in the Lion's name once more. Others band together in [[Chaos Warband|Warbands]] or even army-sized formations and the threat they pose is exponentially greater. These '''Fallen Warbands''' are led by '''Commanders''', who are often former Librarians that have become pariahs and who are forever denied the honor honour granted to Loyalist Librarians. This has made '''Fallen Librarians''' highly volatile figures and their human anger has been made far more dangerous by years of exposure to the [[Warp]]. Led by their Commanders, Fallen Warbands will wage deadly campaigns through [[Realspace]], tormenting Imperial fleets and claiming already stricken worlds as their own. More disturbingly, not all of the Fallen are those who battled The Lion on Caliban. Some of those Fallen who escaped took with them the knowledge to engineer new Space Marines, and have thus created new generation of Fallen to execute their agendas.{{Fn|20a}}

All of that is irrelevant to the [[Dark Angels]], who believe that the only way they can restore their honour and trust within the [[Emperor]]'s eyes is if all the Fallen are found and either made to repent or are slain. Consequently, the Dark Angels and the rest of the [[Unforgiven]] constantly hunt for the Fallen and regularly prioritize it prioritise this above other concerns. Fallen Warbands are highly targeted by the Unforgiven and they will divert all possible resources to their destruction or capture. Even at the expense of other strategic goals.{{Fn|20a}}. Those Fallen that are captured are taken back to the Rock, where [[Interrogator-Chaplains]] attempt to make them repent. Occasionally they do and so die quickly. More often than not though, the captured Fallen refuses and suffers a long, agonizing agonising death at the hands of those who would save his soul.{{Fn|1}}
