The Ifriet Host are an Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter. Born of a chimeric gene-seed of Vulkan and supposedly Curze. Believing that through flame and fear, the Imperium will be saved. Protecting the citizens of the imperium by debilitating their enemies with a fear only the heretic traitor and witch could know. Following the flame and shadow, the Ifriet Host are masters of stealth and pyromantic shock assaults.

Notable Campaigns

From the Shadow into the Flame (999.M41 to 8.M42)

Waking from Cryo-pods deep in a bunker, the Ifriet Host would venture out to the world above. Only to discover a world aligning itself with the Tau Empire. Over the next 8 years, the Ifriet Host waged a war of flame and terror. After taking back control of the plane, they returned control to the loyalist forces. Forever, the world of Gnore XN6 would bear the horrific memories of what happens to the enemies of the Imperium and the blessings that the angels of death would bring to its people. Taking to the Void to answer the call of Lord Regent Dante of the Blood Angels.

Chapter Homeworld

Fortress-Monastery

The Sovereign Pyre is not simply a ship - it is an omen. Where it emerges from the void, the skies turn red with the reflection of its void-scorched hull. Worlds whisper of its arrival long before its silhouette scars their horizon, and even loyalist governors struggle to look into the eye-shaped prow that burns with the light of judgment. The Sovereign Pyre is the Ifriet Host' great Battle Barge—an instrument not of war alone, but of total psychological dominance.

Forged from the bones of a pre-Heresy hulk of an unidentified battleship and rebuilt across centuries in deep orbit above the Chapter’s cryo-birthworld, this vessel serves as the Ifriet Host’ primary fortress-monastery and forge-temple. Every inch of its armored shell radiates purpose: to remind the galaxy that fear is a weapon, and fire is salvation.

Chapter Beliefs

Rite of the Searing Name

• Purpose: Oath of vengeance against a Sworn Enemy or traitor champion.
• Conducted before a crusade deemed "planet-break worthy."
• The name of the targeted foe is burned into the skin of each participant using heated brand-irons etched with scripture.
• The flesh is not healed. It is displayed until vengeance is taken—then seared again in the fires of victory.
• “Burn their name into the flesh, so we never forget what must be burned away.”

Rite of Cloaked Flame

• Purpose: To initiate a new Cloakborn operative.
• The candidate is cloaked in a flame-retardant shroud and sealed inside a shrine-brazier. For three hours, ritual fire and psycho-chanting distort their senses and purge their identity. When they emerge, they are nameless—known only by code, mission, and mask.
• “From flame, no shadow escapes. From shadow, no flame flickers unseen.”

The Shrouding of the Dead Flame

• Purpose: Funeral rite for fallen brothers who were consumed in flame.
• Ashes are collected in black ceramic urns etched with fractal flame-script. Each urn is sealed with a whisper from a Chaplain, recorded and broadcast before battle as vox-lamentations. These urns are embedded into the armor of Cindersworn, who carry them into the next conflict.

Chapter Gene-Seed

Born of flame and terror, the Ifriet Host are the heretical result of Belisarius Cawl's splicing of the lineage of Vulkan and Curze. Skin black as charcoal, eyes red as flame, in appearance, the Ifriet Host are sons of Vulkan. A very small few have been blessed with visions of the future, far more common is the fire sight of their gene fathers, the Salamanders. Paranoia and reliance run equally strongly within the chapter.

Combat Doctrine

Striking with Terror and Flame, the Ifriet Host strikes from the shadows, unleashing hellfire. Before an assault, Vox channels will be taken over by Voxbraziers to break communication and to lay the seeds of terror. Cloakborn squads hunt commanders and destroy infrastructure, seemingly from nowhere; flames erupt in the middle of enemy forces, and commanders are hanged and burned alive. An example is set, and renegades are allowed to surrender in exchange for painless executions. If needed, direct assaults making heavy use of airborne and armored units will be used as the final hammer upon the anvil of terror.

Chapter Armory

Rare Wargear

Relics

The Ashen Crown	(Helm of the First Warden)	This cracked and soot-darkened helmet once belonged to the Chapter’s first Scorch-Captain. When worn, it projects a field of oppressive dread across the battlefield, disrupting enemy cohesion and sapping morale. Whispering voices, half-memories of those the wearer has slain, fill the ears of anyone nearby. Bestowed upon the most decorated Captain during the Burning of the Names ceremony.
The Tongue of Sovereignty	(Relic Flameblade / Ritual Weapon)	A great two-handed sword wreathed in living promethium fire. Said to have been forged from a fragment of the Sovereign Pyre's forward lance and quenched in the blood of a traitor Primaris commander. The blade never cools and speaks in the crackling tongues of burning martyrs when swung. Only the Lord-Brother of Flame and Shadow may wield it during planetary executions or rituals of total planetary cleansing.
The Vox Reliquary of Gnore XN6	(Terror Broadcast Array)	Taken from the first world the Ifriet Host liberated, this ornate, flame-etched vox-casket contains pre-recorded litanies, screams, and ritual sermons burned into black vox-wafers. When activated, it projects these sounds across planetary networks and psychic space, striking terror into both enemy combatants and resisting civilian populations. Used to precede major planetary invasions or to break the spirit of cult worlds.
The Ember Cauldron of Cthonias	(Sacred Flame Reservoir)	A massive, iron-bound brazen cauldron kept perpetually lit aboard the Sovereign Pyre. The flame within is said to have been kindled from Vulkan’s forge fires and fed with the remnants of traitor psykers. Flame drawn from the Cauldron is used to anoint the weapons of veterans and dreadnoughts before purging campaigns. Guarded by the Pyrolith Architects and only opened during oaths of annihilation.
The Shroud of Dreadlight	(Camouflage Cloak / Holo-Veil)	A relic of the Chapter’s Night Lords heritage, woven from refractive fibers and laced with black-psykana ink. Grants the wearer near-invisibility in darkness and distorts sound and movement. When activated, the air around the user ripples with whispered threats and phantom images. Used by the Cloakborn or the Chapter’s top assassins during key strike operations.
The Cinderspire Oath-Skull	(Chapter Standard / Psy-Relic)	The skull of the Chapter’s first martyr, mounted atop a black iron banner-staff and crowned with ever-burning incense braziers. When planted in battle, it acts as a psychic ward against corruption and instills burning resolve into all Ifriet Host nearby. The enemy feels searing pain and dread just by looking at it. Carried into battle only during Crusade Swearings or oaths of vengeance against Sworn Enemies.
The Flame Unspoken	(Master-Crafted Melta Pistol)	A compact melta weapon created by the first Steel Flame Techmarine, forged using ancient designs said to predate the Heresy. Its combustion chamber contains a rare isotope that burns hotter the less it is used—becoming catastrophically powerful after decades of dormancy. Wielded only in times of absolute necessity by a chosen Scorch-Captain or Dreadnought in defense of the Chapter’s future.
