The Relictors slow descent into heresy has profoundly changed their relationship with the Legio. Where once a cordial, fraternal bond existed is now an open sore, with neither side able or willing to trust the other.
Origins
Once known as the Fire Claws, the Relictors recent actions have besmirched their once glorious history.. Orginally created as part of the so-called Astartes Praesus Chapters to defend the space around the volitile Eye of Terror, the Fire Claws were placed in a Ramilies Class Star Fort in orbit of their recruitment world Torva Minoris. The change to the chapter began in the middle of the 9th century of the 41st millennium. A damaged space hulk known only as the Captor of Sin emerged into the Segmentum Obscurus and threatened a nearby Forge World. The Fire Claws were dispatched to deal with the threat. In the ensuing boarding the honoured Librarian Decario was forced to make use of a Daemon weapon to banish the Chaos champion. This event changed the Chapter forever as Decario began to tutor the rest of the Chapter's Librarium in the use of the weapons of Chaos against itself and the hunt for these weapons began. Over the following centuries the Fire Claws became known to all as
A Relictors Battle-Brother
the Relictors. Eventually their secret was learnt and a cabal of Inquisitors demanded the forfeit of any tainted weapons. Facing utter destruction they complied and were sent on century long Penitent Crusade as an act of shame. However this was only to be the beginning of their decent into darkness...
During the events of the Thirteenth Black Crusade, the Relictors were drawn to Subiaco Diablo after learning of an artefact that was held there in a chamber known as the Diamedes Archive. Whilst retrieving the artefact, they fought with and defeated several units of Imperial Guardsmen and the forces of Inquisitor Cyarro. Once recovered, Cyarro successfully petitioned the highest echelons of the Ordo Malleus and Ordo Hereticus to have the Relictors declared 'Excommunicate Traitoris' - enemies and traitors to the Imperium of Man.
The Relictor's Fortress Monastery was subsequently assaulted and destroyed by the joint forces of the Grey Knights and Inquisitor Cyarro. The remaining Relictors have divided and gone into hiding in and around the Eye of Terror, where they still fight against Chaos in the name of Humanity and the God-Emperor of Mankind.
