Background
The Marines Malevolent are a Space Marine Chapter deployed during the Third War for Armageddon. They deployed two companies, only a smaller number, although evidence shows they had Whirlwind artillery support.
They have an arrogance about them which has brought many requests for Inquisitorial investigation. An example of this is during an Ork attack on a refugee camp near Hades Hive. In excess of five thousand Orks penetrated the defences of the camp and took the entire population, over 12000 refugees and nearly 1000 member of the Adeptus Ministorum as hostages. The Marines Malevolent proceeded to use their Whirlwind anti-personal artillery pieces to bombard the Orks while they were still in the camp. On the proceeding attack to retake the camp, a huge amount of collatoral damage had been done to the camps population. Nealy four thousand refugees had been killed, but the Marines Malevolent seemed to believe them to be acceptable casualties. In a conversation with Colonel Destrier Celestine of the Armageddon Command Guard, the Marines Malevolent Captain Vinyard gave a speech that was tantamount to saying that those in the camp were not worthy of living and about his force's supremacy in war, before turning round to face the Salamanders Chapter Master Tu'Shan, who verbally rebuked Vinyard on his chapter's actions, saying they had betrayed those they were sworn to protect 1. This gave the impression that the Marines Malevolent believe themselves to be superior to Imperial citizens. This shows an egotistical streak that is not necessarily useful.
