The Death of Hope was a Knight Tyrant, piloted by Ivandar and aligned with House Lucaris.[1]

Formerly a Knight Castellan named Reign of Iron, along with the rest of its house, the Knight and its pilot pledged allegiance to Horus during the Horus Heresy and served Chaos for over ten thousand years. It pursued the scions of House Cadmus for generations, following a humiliating defeat to them in a tourney and the perceived arrogance of the House, when they refused to join the Warmaster. It's grudge against House Cadmus led to its death, when it and the Lance it led were lured into a trap and killed during the war on Turris by House Cadmus Knights, in particular the Knight Warden Heartsbane.[1]

The Knight utilised Siegebreaker Cannons and Shieldbreaker Missiles which could briefly phase out of the materium to evade other Knights Ion Shields and traded its traditional weapons for a pair of Reaper Chainswords. It was hunched and emitted baleful, green light from its plasma vents, and it's blue livery and red serpent household emblem of House Lucaris were obscured by mud, ash and dried blood. Close inspection revealed its body was composed of a twisted amalgamation of traditional Knight armour and skin.[1]
