The Winter Knights are a 17th founding chapter of the Imperial Fists decent, and as such they are generally more determined than most other Chapters in the prosecution of their duties. While fiercly devoted to the Imperium and the Emperor, they are generally more occupied with their own innevitable death than those Chapters of Dorn. This means they shun the self-flagelation that is so common amongst their brothers, but they fight without anything held back, unworried by their imminent death.
