Among the Knight Houses of the Imperium, none has a more gruesome record of censure from the Council of Terra.
At the Invasion of Ithacus Terrum, at the outset of the Imperial defensive effort, it was the Knights of Viatorum that appeared at the fore. Yet it was not to be a bloodless battle for the forces of the Imperium. Nearly 100,000 Imperial foot soldiers were counted among the dead after the spearhead of Knights Viatorum broke through a friendly defensive column of infantry, using them as a screen from the heavy weaponry of the enemy.
In support of the Legio Phasmatis, the Knights Viatorum have walked as reavers, viciously slaying those who might assault the God Machines of the Legio using less direct tactics. Just as the great titans of Legio Phasmatis are the exemplars of the reapers of the enemies of the Imperium as wheat in a field, the Knights Viatorum walk as terrible phantoms across galactic battlefields.
