| “ | Would a true son of Caliban have allowed the Imperium to rape our world? To raze the forests and build arcologies on the ruins of our cities? What true son of Caliban would have lauded this as progress, to see our ancient traditions washed away by the Imperial Truth, our noble history overwritten by the propaganda of remembrancers and the lies of Imperial Iterators? |

Summary
Sar Luther, also known as the "Arch-Betrayer," was once an acclaimed knight of the monastic brotherhood of knights known simply as The Order, who discovered the young and wild Primarch Lion El'Jonson living in the forests upon World of Caliban in the late 30th Millennium. He became the Primarch's saviour and took the man born of the forest with him back to civilisation. He raised the young Lion as his son within The Order, becoming a mentor, friend, and eventually a brother to the Primarch.
When the Emperor of Mankind came to the world of Caliban and reunited with his long lost son, he gave Lion El'Jonson control of the I Legion of Space Marines, the Dark Angels, and charged him with leading them in the Imperium of Man's Great Crusade to reunite the human-settled galaxy. Luther, though too old to become a true Astartes, received certain genetic and biochemical enhancements through the use of advanced Imperial technology so that he might follow his great friend and brother to the stars alongside the other Astartes of the Dark Angels.
Ironically, Luther would eventually betray the Lion after allowing himself to be seduced by the offers of Chaos, rallying a good portion of his fellow Dark Angels to his cause who had been left behind by their fellows to garrison the Legion's homeworld and attacking the Lion's fleet as he returned to Caliban following the end of the Horus Heresy on Terra. The titanic struggle between the two former friends resulted in the destruction of Caliban and the loss of the Dark Angels' Primarch, as well as the escape of Luther's allies who had sided with the Ruinous Powers. Known as the Fallen Angels amongst their former Battle-Brothers of the I Legion, it became the overriding goal of the Dark Angels and all of their Successor Chapters after the Second Founding to hunt down every one of the Fallen and get them to repent their betrayal of the Emperor and of the Lion.
Unknown to all but the Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels Chapter, Luther was captured alive after the Fall of Caliban and was kept prisoner for over ten thousand standard years in the deepest dungeon of the Dark Angels' mobile fortress-monastery, The Rock, where he rambles insanely about the future. However, these ramblings sometimes contain the hint of prophecy or the location of some of the Fallen, and every Dark Angels Supreme Grand Master has consulted the maddened Luther, now known only as the "Dark Oracle", in the Chapter's times of greatest need. He was recently freed from his prison during an unexpected attack of daemons on The Rock after the birth of the Great Rift led by the Fallen Angel Daemon Prince Marbas. Luther's current whereabouts are unknown.
