Dawn Guard

"the foe we will soon face knows no fear,                             they know no loyalty, nor faith, they know only one thing, Avarice"

— Last Recorded Words of Captain Nelius of the lamentors

The Dawn Guard (sometimes known as the Cult of Dionysos) are a Renegade Chaos Chapter of adeptus astarties from the "cursed" 21st founding, unlike many renegade chapters the Dawn Guard still stay mostly codex compliant and some members still continue worship of the emperor. It is unknown what Gene Father the dawn guard hail from, however it is known that a mutation in there geneseed causes some members to suffer from an near insatiable greed, this flaw causes the chapter to make entire ships into "museum barges" that store mass amounts of knowledge, relics, and wildlife.

The dawn guard are also known to ally with nearly any faction in the universe so long as that faction can supply the chapter with relics to sate there greed, however this sometimes ends poorly when the dawn guard turn mid battle due to bribes from the enemys or sheer boredom.
