Notable Members

 * Sun King Tu'lkca Ortyras: Current Sun King, Chapter Master, Tu'lkca was originally a Sun Lord before suffering a severe blow during the Twelfth Black Crusade, which also saw the death of the previous Sun King. Found by his Battle-Brothers badly wounded, missing all four limbs, the Nova Shields saw a fierce will to live and punish his foes. Replacing his limbs with bionics, the Chapter's command saw Tu'lkca's survival as a sign and made him the new Sun King, holding the position longer than any other battle-brother.
