* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Cypher flat out tells Azrael that the great sin of the Dark Angels isn't the Fallen - pretty much every Astartes Legion was split to some degree in the Horus Heresy - but [[TreacheryCoverUp their continuous efforts to conceal the fact the Fallen exist]]. If the Dark Angels would just own up to the fact that yes, some of the Lion's followers betrayed him, as had happened with every other loyal Primarch, and asked for help in dealing with them from the Inquisition and the other Astartes Chapters, they'd all be better off. Even just admitting the truth to their own rank and file would simplify matters, as they wouldn't have to force entire units to hold back so that they won't encounter a Fallen. Unfortunately, the pride of the Dark Angels and their Successor Chapters prevent them from doing so.

The '''Dark Angels''' are a Chapter of {{Space Marine}}s in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''. They were the first legion of Space Marines. Their homeworld was Caliban, where their Primarch, Lion El'Jonson, grew up. However, half their number rebelled following the Literature/HorusHeresy, and they ruthlessly hunt these "Fallen Angels" while keeping the Fallen's existence secret.
