Marines Exemplars

The Marines Exemplar is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and origin that is listed in the Mythos Angelica Mortis, a tome of ancient knowledge stating that 20 Space Marine Chapters, collectively called the Astartes Praeses, had been created to watch over the Eye of Terror region after the Great Scouring. The Marines Exemplar are part of the Astartes Praeses. During the 13th Black Crusade Chapter Master Maxim Absolon originally deployed nine companies of the Chapter according to Logan Grimnar’s (the Great Wolf of the Space Wolves) deployment plan, resulting in the Chapter being scattered across several warzones in defence of the Segmentum Obscurus. However, after the Chapter Master’s Thunderhawk was shot down Captain Raoul of the 2nd Company took command (though the Chapter remains hopeful that Maxim Absolon may still be alive behind enemy lines). He now deploys according to his own advisors and not Logan Grimnar’s battle plans. The Marines Exemplar’s homeworld is the planet Necris.
