The Blackened Angels were once a proud successor chapter of the Dark Angels. Soon tension arose as the chapter master Mazrael openly criticised the Dark Angels obsession with hunting the Fallen. Mazrael declared that his chapter would launch a crusade again all the enemies of the Imperium regardless of their origin. It is presumed that the DA were afraid that the secret of the Fallen would be revealed is the successor chapter was left unchecked. While the chapter prepared for their crusade they were attacked by ships bearing DA insignia. One ship, the battle barge Andel, managed to escape but two third of the chapter was destroyed in the attack including chapter master Mazrael. The ships navigator had died in the attack and Captain Ismael Vandire decided to execute a very risky blind jump.
After a hellish trip through the warp the Andel ended up near a planet isolated by warp storms and dubbed it Salutem. As they approached the planet a gaint silhouette appeared in front of it, it was an ancient star-fort dating back to the Dark Age of Technology. When the space marine boarded the vessel they found is completely abandoned with evidence of some kind of bio-weapon that likely wiped out the crew. The remaining Techmarines and a handful of surviving Tech-priests discovered that the fort was still largely functional and capable of warp travel. It was then that the chapter started to study the planet and discovered that it was in the middle of a war with a powerful Tzeentch cult slowly gaining more power over the planet. Ismael, now the new chapter master, decided to get involved and soon the roar of Thunderhawk gunships was heard by the planets inhabitants dropping of armoured figures in ceramite grey. They turned their guns toward the cultists and as soon as the loyalist inhabitants realised they had gotten unexpected reinforcements they joined in. The chapter soon learned that the cult was known as the Brotherhood of the Flame and they lived up to this name as after 2 year of fighting the cult was finally defeated but every marine’s armour was scorched black by the cultist’s flamer weapons.
The chapter now renamed the Blackened Angels had started recruiting form the population of the planet giving the marines enough recruits to rebuild their chapter. After scouting the rest of the system they discovered a Forge World named Tacetincide, a planet embroiled in civil war. The chapter managed to bring peace to the planet and in return the forge world offered them a fortress monastery outpost on the planet and a supply of Astartes weapons and armour some of which was quiet ancient in design dating back to the Great Crusade.
After the warp storm around the system subsided the chapter began its crusade to purge the enemies of the Imperium. The mysterious chapter has attracted the attention of inquisition but it is currently seen as less of a threat due to its effectiveness at destroying xenos and chaos forces alike.

The First Order - Redemptii
The chapter's most revered warriors - number of astartes unknown due to spread-out nature

The Second Order - Protectii
Are tasked with rooting out and exterminating any treats against the chapter - specialize in lighting strikes and raids

Venatorii Chaos
3 Orders that specialize in fighting chaos

Venatorii Xenos
4 Orders that specialize in fighting xenos

Scout Order
Works closely with Protectii gathering intelligence for them

Outpost Orders
Small forces often largely consisting of recruits.

The planet recruits from a variety of different planets on which it has outposts. These outpost are often guarded by a garrison of recruits. Recruits are given weapons and combat training and if they succeed at a gruelling set of test they are promoted to squires and their bio-enhancement are completed yet they are not seen as space marines yet, squires are marked by a white line across their helm. Squires that show as proficiency at stealth are drafted into the 10th scout order. Others are divided up amongst other orders were they are attached to squad. When a squad member dies a squire is chosen to replace him. Squires also often crew the chapters tanks and aircraft. Due to the spread nature of squires and recruits and their rare appearances on the battlefield it is unknown how many there actually are but there are suspected to be several thousands.

Squire Helmet Design

The chapter is shrouded in mystery and this is reflected into its culture with every recruit going through a process known as mindlock, a combination of psychic therapy and bio engineering making the marines more resilient to psychic attack especially psychic interrogation (it is presumed that this has been made to counter DA’s interromancy). Not much more is known about the chapter culture
