History

Once of origins unknown it now appears that the original Red Skulls were a number of grizzled veterans who were given up for lost on a world corrupted by Chaos. For nearly 20 years they fought a guerrilla war. Sabotage, ambush, salvage and survival, this was their life. The survivors eventually stole a shuttle and escaped only to be accused of corruption. They separated from the Imperial Fists as to not disgrace their founding chapter and painted their armor blood red in remembrance of the brothers they lost.

Eventually they settled on the death world of Golgotha. A hot and hostile planet. Although allowed to live by the inquisition they continue to be untrusted and are only called upon for the most suicidal of missions.

More recently they have undergone further investigation by the inquisition after rumors the Red Skulls Chief Chaplain Markus Grey recruited the survivors of a penal legion who fought beside his chapter.

Notable Red Skulls

Chief Chaplain Markus Grey - A fierce figure in terminator armor
