The '''Jade Talons''' are a [[Chaos Space Marine]] [[Chapter]], which is [[Successor Chapter|descended]] from the [[White Scars]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
They were once a humble pragmatic [[loyalist|loyal]] [[Space Marine Chapter]], who embodied the hunter in all its aspects and were avid trophy-takers of skulls. However the Jade Talons also harbored a secret desire to be reunited with their [[Primarch]] [[Jaghatai Khan]], which they shared with their [[Founding Chapter]], the [[White Scars]]. So when a figure claiming to be a Primarch appeared in [[M33]], the Jade Talons' believed he was Jaghatai Khan and willing joined the other Imperial forces who flocked to his side. This led to the [[War of the False Primarch]] and though the Jade Talons had thought they had finally found Jaghatai Khan, they were sadly mistaken. Their false hope led them to be among the [[Space Marine Chapter]]s who were declared '''[[Traitoris Perdita''' ]] by the Imperium. When the False Primarch was finally defeated, the Jade Talons had been nearly destroyed during the conflict and began to splinter.{{Fn|1}}
While some of the shamed survivors left the [[Chapter]] to become [[Pirates]], other Jade Talons fell to [[Chaos]]. This included their [[Chapter Master]] [[Sah'Al-Zhar]], who reformed those Jade Talons that followed him into servants of the [[Chaos Gods]]. Though it was done out of desperation, the Jade Talons sacrificed their principles in order to survive their downfall and also gained a new purpose to replace what they lost. Despite their [[heresy]], however, the Jade Talons still share the same attributes they had as a [[Loyalist]] Chapter. This includes their pragmatism, hunter instincts and avid trophy-taking of skulls. The Jade Talons also continue to hope they will find their missing [[Primarch]] [[Jaghatai Khan]], and the Chapter's '''Huntsworn Kyndred''' [[Space Marine Company|Company]] has been charged with doing so. Also in the millennia since their downfall, Sah'Al-Zhar's road to damnation has recently led him to become a [[Daemon Prince]]{{Fn|1}}
