==Overview==
{{Spoiler|source=Soul Drinkers (Novel Series)}}
The '''Soul Drinkers''' do not fit the standard template of [[Excommunicate Traitoris]]. Unlike most [[Renegade Space Marine]]s, who have devoted themselves to the [[Chaos]] gods, the Soul Drinkers despise the Ruinous Powers as much if not more than they hate the [[Imperium]] that cast them out. Instead, they have developed an ideology that states that the Imperium has betrayed everything the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] has stood for; so they still fight the powers of chaos even though they disagree with what the Imperium now stands for. Some within the Chapter think that the Imperium should be destroyed for the good of mankind.{{cite this}}
==History==
{{Spoiler|source=Soul Drinkers (Novel Series)}}==M32=======War of the Beast====The *'''Soul Drinkers544-546.[[M32]]''' do not fit : The [[War of the Beast]] — The Soul Drinkers combined with other [[Imperial Fists]] [[Successor Chapter]]s into a [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] as per the [[Last Wall]] protocol at the standard template behest of [[Excommunicate TraitorisKoorland]]. Unlike most [[Chapter Master]] [Renegade Space Marine[Euclydeas]]s, who have devoted themselves to was given a third of the combined fleet of the forces at [[ChaosTerra]] gods.{{Fn|7b}} During the conflict, the Soul Drinkers despise contributed a portion of their strength to rebuild the [[Imperial Fists]].{{Fn|8}} ===M41=======The Soulspear====It began with an operation to obtain one of the Ruinous Powers as much if not more than they hate Chapter's lost relics, the great [[Soulspear]], a weapon used by [[Rogal Dorn]] during the [[ImperiumGreat Crusade]] , from a criminal organization that cast them outhad come to possess it. Instead Just as the 300 Soul Drinkers had taken the orbital defense platform where the relic was being held, they have developed an ideology that states that the Imperium has betrayed everything and were about to reclaim the Spear, supporting [[Emperor of Mankind|EmperorAdeptus Mechanicus]] has stood for; so they still fight forces teleported into the powers of chaos even though they disagree vault it was stored in and made off with what the Imperium now stands for. Some within Spear before the Chapter think that the Imperium should be destroyed for the good of mankindSoul Drinkers could react.{{cite thisFn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
It began with an operation to obtain one of the Chapter's lost relics, the great Soulspear, a weapon used by [[Rogal Dorn]] during the Great Crusade, from a criminal organization that had come to possess it. Just as the 300 Soul Drinkers had taken the orbital defense platform where the relic was being held, and were about to reclaim the Spear, supporting [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] forces teleported into the vault it was stored in and made off with the Spear before the Soul Drinkers could react. The Soul Drinkers then fortified the platform and demanded the return of their relic, but it had already been passed along to another vessel that was en route to a Forge World. The Mechanicus then revealed a great siege cannon from their starship, and forced the Soul Drinkers to board and destroy the Mechanicus weapon before it could be used against them, slaying thousands of Tech-Guard in the process before fleeing aboard their two Strike Cruisers.{{cite this}}
The Inquisition, caring not for the reasons why, saw only that the Soul Drinkers had attacked another Imperial institution and demanded they surrender themselves. After Sarpedon's refusal, the entire Chapter was declared [[Excommunicate Traitoris]]. Soon after, the rest of the Soul Drinkers and their fleet arrived to extract the two beleaguered Cruisers that they might answer for their actions to the Chapter Master, Gorgoleon.{{cite this}}
====1st Chapter War====
Gorgoleon was obstinate, and saw the Soul Drinkers of Sarpedon at fault, and fought him for the fate of the Chapter. Sarpedon emerged victorious thanks to a set of mutations that granted him the power to overcome Gorgoleon, sparking a war within the Chapter. Most of the Novices and some others refused to follow mutant Sarpedon, and took up arms and barricaded themselves throughout the fleet. It took Sarpedon and his forces, who counted most of the Chapter's specialists amongst them, several months to root them out and kill them all.{{cite this}}
====Under the Sway of a Daemon Prince====
Disillusioned by the Imperium, and unknowingly under the influence of a [[Tzeentch]] [[Daemon Prince]] in the guise of an aspect of the Emperor, Sarpedon opted to keep his Chapter renegade, scuttled the Soul Drinker fleet, and resettled the Chapter into a Space Hulk they dubbed the [[Brokenback]]. Soon after, the Daemon Prince [[Abraxes]] mislead the Soul Drinkers into attacking one of his rivals, the [[Nurgle]] [[Daemon Prince]] Ve'Meth. After slaying Ve'Meth, who took the form of a virus infesting several hundred ordinary people, Abraxes revealed his true nature. He handed Sarpedon the Soulspear and offered the Soul Drinkers the chance to serve as his personal retinue of Chaos Space Marines. Though Sarpedon considered his options, he ultimately refused, attacking Abraxes and his daemons and slaying them.{{cite this}}
====The Empire of Teturact====
The heretic Teturact, a life-form produced by [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] experiments in Human mutations on desolate Stratix Luminae, was carving a vast empire out of the Imperium of Man. His ability to project noxious, mind-controlling viruses and even raise the dead with them won him godhood in the eyes of those he infected. He was able to claim several important Imperial worlds, including the Hives of Stratix, the Forge World Salshan Anterior, and several others including agri-worlds and other strategic targets. One of these worlds was Stratix Luminae, a world where the old Soul Drinkers had once fought, granting Sarpedon a knowledge of the experiments carried out there. Still in the grips of the mutations brought on by Abraxes, Sarpedon believed this facility and its research represented the best chance of curing the Chapter of those mutations.{{cite this}}
The Soul Drinkers sought out the surviving Mechanicus personnel from Stratix Luminae across several of the worlds under Teturact's sway, all the while dodging the efforts of the Inquisitorial Taskforce Thaddeus to track them down and bring them to justice, before finally collecting all the pieces of the puzzle that sent them to Stratix Luminae itself. Teturact intervened personally, intentionally breaking up his flag-battleship in orbit to rain debris and his undead followers down on the Soul Drinkers. Sarpedon was able to stun the powerful Teturact long enough for Inquisitor Thaddeus to shoot him, and Sarpedon extinguished Teturacts soul and brought about the ruination of his fledgling empire.{{cite this}}
====Dealing with Tellos====
After the defeat of the heretic Teturact, the Soul Drinkers were forced to flee Stratix Luminae, leaving several assault squads, who were under [[Tellos]]' command, behind. Tellos, who had bordered on Khornate rage before this betrayal, quickly fell under the Blood God's influence, subverting his assault squads to the service of [[Khorne]].{{cite this}}
Interested in nothing save finding Tellos, Sarpedon split the Soul Drinkers into two parts to blunt the Imperial Guard for the Dark Eldar, all the while the Soul Drinkers Scouts sought out Tellos in the city. The Scouts soon located Tellos and his retinue as they butchered through a Guard regiment, and Chaplain Iktinos and his flock were able to hold them in place long enough for Sarpedon to arrive and defeat Tellos, collapsing a span bridge on top of him. The Dark Eldar still benefited from this, buying time for a secret army of mutated human slaves to fully awaken beneath the city and begin a slaughter so great it would propel Entymion IV to the status of Daemon World, one ruled by the Dark Eldar as a second [[Commorragh]]. The Soul Drinkers would ultimately have the last laugh, using their Scouts to trick the Crimson Fists into attacking the Dark Eldar stronghold on the world, slaying all the xenos and preventing their plan from reaching fruition. Though prematurely stopped, the hole in reality leading into the Warp tainted the world beyond hope, and the whole world was destroyed by Exterminatus.{{cite this}}
====2nd Chapter War====
The Soul Drinkers found another Chapter War brewing between Sarpedon, and the new Sergent Eumenes, taken from a planet that hated the Imperium, to restock the Chapter. Eumenes felt that the fight should be taken directly to the Emperor. He wanted to take out the [[Astronomican]], and blot out the light that guides the Emperor's ships through the [[warp]] to start the Imperium over. Sarpedon, however, struck a new course for the Chapter after being given advice from Chaplain Iktinos that a planet called [[Vanqualis]] was under attack from a horde of [[Orks]] and needed their protection. Afterwords, the Soul Drinkers would be able to benefit by taking on supplies for their new home, the Brokenback. Sarpedon led the Soul Drinkers through the jungles of Vanqualis to battle the Orks, but in his absence Eumenes took control of the [[Brokenback]] and started a coup that included a great deal of the forces on the planet. After consolidating, Sarpedon's Soul Drinkers set out to take an old fortress from the rebels. Once there, Librarian Gresk warned Sarpedon to leave. Sarpedon did, before Eumenes bombarded the land surrounding the fortress from the Brokenback.{{cite this}}
The [[Howling Griffons]] Chapter had sent three Companies under Lord-Librarian Mercaeno to the world to honor an old debt the Chapter owed Vanqualis. The Griffons had also allowed Inquisitor Thaddeus, now disfavored within the Inquisition, to tag along on the suspicions of the Soul Drinkers involvement. Though he realized that Mercaeno didn't comprehend what the Soul Drinkers really were, he could not convince him of this fact. Thaddeus tried to leave the Strike Cruiser and warn Sarpedon of the Griffons, but had to kill one of the Griffons in a close-quarters firefight before he could escape. Mercaeno and his Griffons landed shortly thereafter, and did battle with Sarpedon's group while the traitors watched bemusedly from the sidelines. It was during this that Mercaeno killed Thaddeus for killing his battle-brother.{{cite this}}
====Aftermath====
Sarpedon could not get off Vanqualis, and conceded to Eumenes' wishes. Eumenes became the new Chapter Master. Sarepdon led the loyal Soul Drinkers to Techmarine Lygris, loyal to Sarpedon, but was stuck on the Brokenback until Eumenes let him shuttle Sarpedon and his forces back to their ship in time to repel a boarding attack from the Howling Griffons. Sarpedon and Mercaeno engaged in a titanic psychic duel, tiring each other out until Eumenes struck down Mercaeno from behind and throwing Sarpedon in the brig. Sarpedon then attacked psyker-latent Scout Scamandar in the Brokenback's brig, incapacitating him. Sarpedon then made his way to the bridge, where he duels Eumenes. Though Eumenes had both the Soulspear and Mercaeno's force axe, Sarpedon impales him with his mutated legs, and wins back the Chapter he won from Gorgoleon.{{cite this}}
====Necrons====
While fleeing from a Adeptus Mechanicus task force, the Soul Drinkers Space Hulk is severely damaged and low on fuel. Forced to run, the Soul Drinkers go deep into the veiled regions in search of fuel. They run into the Necrons on many worlds, all with signs of previous human settlement, but now infested with the undying xenos. Eventually they discover the last of the human worlds that the Necrons are still in the process of cleansing, and the Soul Drinkers make a deal with the survivors. They allow the human's time to retreat to their space-craft while they hold the Necron forces off, in exchange for the Soul Drinkers receiving fuel.{{cite this}}
Gathering his forces Sarpedon lead his remaining troops towards the crashed Adeptus Mechanicus ship, where their promised transports were to be awaiting them. Instead three Imperial Fists thunderhawk gunships deployed upon the surface, while twenty terminator armoured elites teleport onto the planet, lead by First Captain [[Lysander]]. He orders the Soul Drinkers to surrender or be destroyed. Sarpedon replies with the challenge of a personal duel. Despite Sarpedon's warp enhanced strength, he was tired from the earlier fighting and was swiftly beaten. The book ends with Sarpedon hoping that Luko follows his last order to surrender if he was beaten.{{cite this}}
====Endgame====During the subsequent trial, it was learned that Daenyathos was in fact still alive as a [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], and had laid down the seeds of a Chapter which would rebel against the Imperium, using the Chaplaincy as his agents in his absence. Knowing that the Imperial Fists would try to claim authority over their supposed successor, Daenyathos had himself brought aboard and the ''Phalanx'' and freed by a cult he had seeded millennia earlier. Escape, Daenyathos used the Predator's Eye warp gate within the ''Phalanx'' to release a daemon (which by chance was Abraxes). Daenyathos planned to have Abraxes bring the Imperium into a new dark age, believing that a stronger Imperium (which he would rule over) would emerge from the ashes.{{Fn|76}} While Iktinos and his flock joined Daenyathos, the majority of the surviving Soul Drinkers refused to be Daenyathos's pawns, and joined the Imperial Fists in fighting off Abraxes's army and closing the warp gate. By the battle's end, Abraxes had been defeated by Captain [[Luko]] and Sarpedon had destroyed Daenyathos's Dreadnought, taking him prisoner. In the process, however, all the remaining Soul Drinkers except for Sarpedon, Daenyathos, Luko, and [[Graevus]] were killed. Luko, Graevus, and Sarpedon chose to walk into the warp gate, with Sarpedon dragging a screaming Daenyathos with him, bringing an end to the Soul Drinkers chapter, their ultimate fates are unknown. Now convinced that they were in fact loyal servants of the Emperor, the Imperial Fists inscribed a column in the ''Phalanx''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Apothecarion with the names of the fallen Soul Drinkers, holding them as worthy and honourable brothers in death.{{Fn|6}} ====Primarch Doubt====After their capture, the remaining Soul Drinkers were brought to trial on board The [[Phalanx]], and a conclave of Imperial Fist successor chapters and other concerned parties gathered to pass judgement on them. {{Fn|6}} During the trial [[Commander]] Gethsemar of the [[Angels Sanguine]] states that the [[Sanguinary Priests]] of his [[Chapter]] have examined the [[gene-seed]] of the Soul Drinkers, as part of their research into the link between the gene-seed and the related [[Primarch]] and also to see if the chapters fall was related to corruption of the gene-seed, and they discovered that [[Rogal Dorn]] is not the Chapters' Primarch.{{Fn|6}}
