| abstract | - The Exorcists (エクソシスト Ekusoshisuto) are members of the Church that are tasked with killing Devils, Fallen Angels, Vampires and Demonic Creatures that can potentially harm Humans.
- Exorcists (祓魔師, Futsumashi), much like Kekkaishi, exist primarily to destroy or seal away evil entities. There are several key differences in their overall styles, however. While both are able to destroy Ayakashi, exorcists are especially equipped to destroy and seal evil spirits. In general, exorcists defeat most threats through the use of giant stakes that they carry. These stakes serve as a focus for their spiritual power, and are used to generate protective barriers and destroy spirits with an explosion of power. With stronger spirits, exorcism becomes a double-edged sword: the exorcist must offer himself as bait, so that the spirit focuses on him and does not influence their surroundings. This establishes a connection between them, which allows the exorcist to attack with greater effectiveness, but also makes him more vulnerable to being manipulated and consumed by the spirit if his will is too weak.
- The Exorcists were created during the 13th Founding, the so-called "Dark Founding" which occurred sometime between the 35th and 36th Millennia, before the start of the Age of Apostasy. The Exorcists were founded as part of a highly-classified Imperial experiment to create Space Marines who were unusually resistant to daemonic possession and Chaotic corruption. As part of their initiation into the Chapter each Exorcists Astartes had actually been forced to serve as a daemonhost for a short time before having the foul creature expelled back to the Warp by the intervention of an Inquisitor. The details of the Chapter's Founding are not simply lost to the mists of time, however, for they have never been accessible to even the highest ranked individuals. All that can be ascertained is that the records were sealed at the express and irreversible order of one of the High Lords of Terra -- none other than the Inquisitorial Representative on the Senatorum Imperialis. This has led some to postulate that the Exorcists were created on the order of the Inquisition, or perhaps as a result of their counsel. What dark mission could require the founding of an entire Space Marine Chapter is unknown, but certainly, the Exorcists are quite unique in many regards. The Exorcists adhere in most ways to the precepts of the Codex Astartes, the only notable difference being the fact that they maintain not ten, but twelve companies. Instead of just a single Scout Company, the Exorcists maintain two extra for a total of three, and while the reason for this divergence has never been openly explained, it is thought to relate to the esoteric and arduous selection processes the Neophytes are subjected to. The exact nature of the Chapter's training and conditioning remains a mystery to the wider Imperium for good reason, but there are some Imperial savants who have correctly surmised that the Neophytes are deliberately exposed to contact with the foul denizens of the Warp in the hope that they will be made strong by the process, or killed by it. If true, this would certainly account for the high numbers of Neophytes who, for whatever reason, do not survive service in one of the Scout Companies to become full Initiates of the Chapter. This is largely speculation, for if such a practice were to be brought to light, not even a Chapter of the mighty Adeptus Astartes would be free from prosecution by the Inquisition for such a crime.
