Sons of Malice

History
Kathal, who is now over 1000 years old, is the Sons' current [[Chapter Master]]. Every century the chapter returns to the ''[[Labyrinth]]'', an old and scarred ship that has become the Chapter's holy ground and meeting place since the loss of their homeworld. Every warband attends at the correct time, regardless of their current status or who they are fighting. Slaves from every race encountered are then brought to the ''Labyrinth''; each battle brother then retreats to a cell, where they eat alive the slave assigned to them. Every century, some Sons of Malice set off into the halls of the ''Labyrinth'' to compete for a place amongst the legendary Doomed Ones. Only one can make it to the end and escape; the rest will either die, or be transformed into the beasts that inhabit the ship as the [[Warp]] corrupts it. This challenge took place eleven times, eleven being Malice's sacred number, with each victor's body being stored in a casket until the final champion arose. The eleventh champion was Brother [[Invictus (Sons of Malice)|Invictus]] who, along with the other ten champions, was sacrificed so that Malice could appear and the Sons of Malice could begin their crusade to retake their homeworld.{{Fn|3}}
After the [[Fall of Cadia]], the Sons of Malice attacked surviving Cadian Imperial Guard forces, in the [[Battle of Faith's Anchorage]], as revenge for their part in the attack on Scelus.{{Fn|4}} Another force of the Son's of Malice also joined the war-band of Gorelord Thelissicus of the [[Crimson Slaughter]], led by Xerclon; participating in Thelissicus' campaigns against both the Imperium and the Night Lord's war-band the Blades of Atrocity.{{Fn|7}}
