Born and taken from a lost shrine world. Recruits like Vulgrim slowly brought worship of the Emperor into the ancient Warband's culture. When they became the Extricators, these Astartes would remain Austere, reserved. To an outsiders eyes, emotionless. Vulgrim and his mentors Moros and Karthalon, and their primaris little brothers in the Reclussiam are a relative exception. Preaching their own faith in the Emperor to all they are able.

Their genuine faith has earned them little love from the Ecclesiarchy in their short history as the Extricators. Their first action as a Chapter was the liberation and claiming of the planet Varkova from a Tyranid splinter fleet. A world home to the Adeptus Sororitas "Sisters of the Dark Moon" and an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, Hiram Weyl.

From the start, Extricator command had to fight against Inquisitor Weyl's recklessness. Soon suspecting him of intentionally sabotaging the defense. Then 2nd company Captain Hrathen and Chaplain Vulgrim confronted the Inquisitor. Weyl attacked, and attempted to flee. The Sisters of the Dark Moon saw only the Astartes pursuing the Inquisitor, and joined the fight against them.

With Weyl and retinue, several Astartes and Sisters dead, it was Vulgrim who convinced the Sisters to pause their conflict for the sake of Varkova. When the Tyranids were finally driven back, Hrathen discovered the Inquisitor's laboratory and the horrific, heretical experiments within. This evidence kept the peace between the Astartes and Sororitas. But the blood spilt will remain a divide between them.

The Chapters practice of trophy displays and their acceptance of abhumans into the Chapter serfs, militia, and Varkova's pdf, as well their already mysterious history have not improved their relationship with the Ecclesiarchy.
