| - The Chapter is known for never abandoning a campaign once committed. Like their Gene-fathers, the Imperial Fists, they are extremely stubborn and will take gruesome casualties to hold a position or to take one. They are also known for accompanying many Black Templar Crusades and serving as the Assault Troops, making up the bulk of the initial assault upon a given enemy position/vessel. The Chapter is also obsessed with obtaining knowledge, maintaining a Grand Library that can only be accessed by the Sons of Dorn filled with the books, tomes, scrolls, and fragments they have gathered. They don't discriminate when it comes to what kind of information they gather and will accept all forms of technological, philosophical, scientific, historic, and artistic knowledge. Their gene-seed is very stable like their gene-fathers but the phenomenon known as Dorn's Darkness has gripped the Chapter differently than the rest of the Sons of Dorn. They have a good relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Veran Legions, and the Death Korps of Krieg due to a long history of cooperation. They are also close to the Imperial Fists, Sacred Band, Black Templars, and Space Wolves. However, the Ultramarines, War Dancers, Head Hunters, Sons of Caironia, and the Minotaurs all distrust the Brotherhood and have had a poor history with the Chapter.
