Background
The Brazen Claws' homeworld of Talus IV was destroyed by a horde of daemons and the Chapter was forced to flee the planet as it fell to Chaos. They then went on a Crusade against the forces of Chaos into the Eye of Terror to earn vengeance and regain their honor and have not been seen in the Imperium since.6 Oddly enough elements of the Chapter did participate in the defense of Cadia from the forces of Chaos during Abaddon the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade.2
Prior to the events depicted in Phalanx, the Brazen Claws had turned Traitor.5
