Frost Lions

"We are the Sons of Dorn, his eyes are our own, and no Heresy will be seen before them!"

- Franz Makarov, Chapter Master of the Frost Lions

The Frost Lions are a Codex-Divergent chapter of Space Marines created during the Ultima Founding at the end of the 41st Millennium. Born from the gene-seed of the Imperial Fists, sons of the Primarch Rogal Dorn, the Frost Lions hunt the traitors and heretics from ten millennia ago to bring final vengeance.

History
During the Indomitus Crusade, the Frost Lions chapter was founded as part of the vast crusading host, and proved in grueling combat to be fine successors to the legacy of the VIIth Primarch: Rogal Dorn. Combining their new weapons, technology, and eagerness for war with the veterancy of the Sons of Dorn that have stood vigilant for ten millennia, the Frost Lions have made names for themselves as warriors peer to the fury of the Black Templars, resolute as the Crimson Fists, and unbowing as the Imperial Fists which they revere their sires. As descendants of the Praetorian, they hunt the heretics long escaped, and bring upon them the final vengeance of death.

The Indomitus Crusade
Serving as Greyshields among the tens of thousands of Unnumbered Sons of the Primarchs, the Astartes that would eventually become the Frost Lions fought directly beside their cousins in mixed-gene units as well as beside the veterans of the Imperium. During one particularly grueling campaign on the world of Ode-III, the individuals that would one day become the first 10 captains of the Chapter provided aid for and rescued their future first Chapter Master, Franz Makarov of the 1st Company of the Imperial Fists Chapter.

As the Unnumbered descended to less than 20,000 over the course of reinforcing the myriad chapters in the Galaxy, they were slowly and surely reorganized into their own chapters. It was then that the veterans of Ode-III were organized into their own chapter, marking the birth of the Frost Lions with the end of Indomitus Crusade, the first step to reunite the dark and light sides of the Imperium. To be a bastion and force of vengeance in a forsaken frontier, they were granted ownership of the world of Frostburn and its relentless people who survive on its surface.
