House Khymere is a Traitor Knight House.
Overview
Originally a loyalist house that had fought for the Imperium for 10,000 years, but upon the creation of the Great Rift their world of Surtr's Wake was swallowed by Warp Rifts. When they reemerged, the Knights of House Khymere had been corrupted and twisted by the powers of Chaos. Declared traitorous, when the Indomitus Crusade reached Surtur's Wake the Fallen Knight World was assailed by a force of Ultramarines and White Scars. However shockingly, the Nobles of the House did not see themselves as traitor and could not fathom that they been deemed heretical. They simply withdrew from their world without resistance, but in the years since have reemerged to turn their wrath upon Imperial defenders.[2]
