The Unforgiven are the Dark Angels and their Second Founding successor chapters. They are named this because of the terrible events causing the downfall of Caliban and the corruption of a number of the Dark Angels Space Marines under Luther. In order to absolve them of the Dark Angels' ancient sin, the Unforgiven have the self-appointed task of hunting down and capturing all of the Marines who turned to Chaos at the downfall and making them repent in some way. They will execute this task to the letter, often abandoning campaigns and battles at vital junctions to follow a lead. Some question the loyalty of the Dark Angels for this reason and that they give this special agenda greater importance than the orders of the Emperor himself. Even when fighting with allies the Dark Angels keep their own company, lest someone learn something of the Dark Angels history by mistake and letting their greatest secret escape.
Each Unforgiven chapter closely follows the Dark Angels organization; each has its Inner Circle, and each has formations similar to the Dark Angels' Deathwing and Ravenwing companies. All of the Unforgiven chapters coordinate their actions in regard to their secret mission, and it is not unknown for the Supreme Grand Masters of the respective chapters to hold summit meetings within the Rock.1
