Daemon Knights, also known as Chaos Knights or Questor Traitoris, are Knights and their Households that have been corrupted by the powers of Chaos.[1]
History
Since the Horus Heresy, many Knight Households have fallen to Chaos over the centuries. Their crews have long since died but their souls have fused with Daemons, floating within shells of their war machines. The Knights themselves have mutated, spouting claws, flails, and other horrendous weapons.
Not all Chaos Knights are possessed by Daemons however, though their machines are nonetheless corrupted by the powers of the Warp.[2]
