Sons of Pertinax
|
The Sons of Pertinax are a 17th Founding Space Marine Chapter, who are thought to be descended from the Imperial Fists.[1]
History
They are a Codex Chapter in every regard, except that traditionally the last aspect of their name is changed to include the name of their current Chapter Master. They are currently led by Pertinax, who succeeded Commodus whose actions caused the Sons to be labelled as a Renegade Chapter in M41. This occurred after Commodus attempted to subjugate an entire world to his will, which drew the attention of the Inquisition. He was later declared a renegade for his actions and Commodus' reign was eventually ended by a Callidus Assassin. His heinous actions, though, tainted the Sons and after Pertinax took command, the Chapter began a Penitent Crusade in order to redeem themselves.[1]
