| abstract | - The Scourged are a warband of Chaos Space Marines dedicated to the service of the Chaos God Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways. The Scourged are believed by some Imperial scholars to be a possible splinter warband of the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion, however, the truth is somewhat darker. The Scourged once served the Inquisition as the formerly Loyalist Chapter of Space Marines known as the Seekers of Truth. The Chapter Master, Gallus Herodicus, was an honourable man and rankled whenever ordered to execute innocents. The perpetuation of this injustice led to a weakening of the Seekers' morale, prompting Herodicus to pray to the God-Emperor for a means to tell when a man was lying. However, his prayers were answered not by the Emperor, but by the Chaos God Tzeentch, who gave the chapter his "blessing". From that moment, Herodicus and his men could hear every lie that issued from the mouths of Mankind. Though their new-found power would have allowed them to protect the Imperium from heresy once and for all, the constant stream of falsehood from those they sought to protect drove them insane within days and turned them against the service of what they now view as the Emperor's irredeemably corrupt Imperium.
