30k Dark Angels are a funny bunch - there's tension between the original Terran Legion and those from Caliban, and then those from Caliban who follow the Lion and those loyal to Luther...

And then there's some others - during the Battle of the Alaxxes Nebula the Space Wolves were aided by Dark Angels against the Alpha Legion, but the Dark Angels are Luthor followers and Loyalists.

I can’t remember but isn’t Zahariel considered to have failed at something. There is an injustice in that another character attempts to be part of a plot to kill the lion on Cali an before they are all made into space marines. Zahariel Stops the plot and protects his friends identity who then goes on to win favour with the lion during the crusade whilst Zahariel goes back to caliban. But this in part supposed to show that all dark angles have their secrets

He has some psychic powers and somehow used these to stop fellow Caliban natives assassinating the Emperor. He then met the Emperor and had his memory wiped. Basically he's been manipulated by the Lion, the Emperor, the Watchers in the Dark, other Caliban natives... (and Luther appointed him Lord Cypher)
