Black Vipers Founding Chapter: Salamanders[1] Founding: Ultima Founding[1] Colours: Black/Red[1]

The Black Vipers are a Salamanders Successor Chapter.^[1]

Overview

The Chapter was among those Salamanders Successor Chapters that were created by Archmagos Dominus Cawl, during the Ultima Founding. Cawl did so without informing the Salamanders and when they learned of this, they began making contact with their Successors Chapters. However, the Salamanders accidentally learned of the Black Vipers many years after they discovered the existence of their other Successors. Like they did with the others, the Salamanders sent out one of their Chaplains, to teach the Black Vipers of the Promethean Cult. However their chosen Chaplain, Sur K'gosi, disappeared without a trace before reaching them and the Black Vipers have not learned of the Cult's teachings. As a Chapter, they appear to claim no world for their own, and spurn contact with allies on the rare occasion the Chapter is seen at war. Wherever the Black Vipers has been seen, though, agents of Archmagos Dominus Cawl have never been far away.^[1]
