==History==

After the [[Horus Heresy]], it was decided (in the [[Codex Astartes]] written by the [[Ultramarines]] [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]]) that no single man should ever wield the power of a whole [[legion]] of Space Marines alone, and that each legion was to be split up into thousand-man strong chapters. [[Rogal Dorn]] of the [[Imperial Fists]] legion long opposed this, but decided to yield rather than risk the fragile peace of the post-heresy Imperium. The Imperial Fists legion was divided into four chapters: The marines most devoted to their Primarch were to remain Imperial Fists, the most zealous started the never-ending crusade of the [[Black Templars]] and the younger and more level-headed marines formed the Crimson Fists. The first [[Chapter Master]] of the Crimson Fists was [[Alexis Polux]], a hero of the Heresy. The chapter's name derives from the ceremony conducted at the initiation of new chapter masters in the Imperial Fist legion. The Chapter Master and the Primarch would both cut their palm and share blood in a warrior handshake; strengthening the marine with the blood of the Primarch and forming a symbolic bond between them{{Fn|1}}.
