Background
Formerly the Death Falcons, who vanished during the "Fall of Bastonbeil", the Company of the Shadow appear in the 4th Edition Chaos Space Marines Codex.
An ancient and terrible creature rose from the underhive of Bastonbeil's capital and began to feed upon the souls of the living, devouring millions. The Death Falcons responded with their entire Chapter, and battled the mindless zombies left by the creature, before hunting for the beast itself. It is not known what occured in the dark depths of the underhive, but three months later, the Death Falcons were no more. Instead, the Company of the Shadow emerged, wearing grey armour that writhed with the faces of the damned. Storming the upper reaches of the hive, they overthrew the Imperial Commander, taking control over the planet.
Over the last nine hundred years, they have used the enslaved planet as their base, using it to launch bloody attacks against neighbouring systems.
