Chaos Knights, also known as Daemon Knights, Renegade Knights or Questor Traitoris, are Knights and their Households that have been corrupted by the powers of Chaos. Since the Horus Heresy, thousands of individual Knights and even entire Knight Houses have been corrupted by Chaos and betrayed the Imperium. The first Renegade Knights appeared during the Horus Heresy, when many of the Knightly households sided with Warmaster Horus. However since the Heresy, many more Knights have betrayed the Imperium. Some were corrupted after their worlds were swallowed by Warp Storms while others were slowly driven mad by the endless carnage they witnessed and inflicted on countless campaigns.

  22. Iconoclast's sounds like Warcraft's Lich King's Helm of Domination where you have the wearer corupted but kinda traped in his own body and sharing the head space with Ner'Zhul and the Jailer and the evil version of himself and your sword is actually what makes you Evil and it also holds the souls of everyone it ever killed so they are kinda hanging around + you are mind controlling all the Undead on the planet so its crowded and everyone is angry and sad and tortured and spitefull and insane and evil and its all looping.

  27. So, kind of? The Knight thrones were a man-machine interface, and that went both ways. Because the throne basically has a learning program, it kind of stores a vague copy of the pilot’s personality. The throne itself also affects the pilot in certain ways, because it was originally intended to be a multipurpose piece of colonization equipment, including protecting the colonists at all costs, hence the formation of knightly houses from the security personnel assigned to use them.

    In short, the knight affects each pilot and each pilot affects the knight. And we already know Chaos can cause programming to get fucked up, so of the knight is already affecting the pilot’s personality, it’a not much of a leap.
