Black Templars - Page 6

Founded by Sigismund, the first High Marshal, the Chapter has always fiercely guarded its independence. While Imperial institutions may call for their aid, the Black Templars are under no obligation to respond—unless the cause is deemed worthy, particularly if it involves defending worlds sacred to the Ecclesiarchy. Their faith is intense and unwavering, viewing the Emperor not merely as a leader, but as a divine being. This militant devotion guides all their actions, whether in glorious battles or brutal purges.

Driven by an unshakable desire to prove their loyalty, the Black Templars conduct a never-ending crusade across the Imperium. Operating in autonomous fleets, they fight in the darkest regions of space, facing xenos, heretics, and wayward Imperial citizens alike. For them, every battle is a sacred offering to the Emperor. Their faith, discipline, and relentless commitment make them one of the most feared and uncompromising Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.
