The Black Legion
The Black Legion is the largest Warband of Chaos Space Marines, founded by former Sons of Horus First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon near the conclusion of the Legion Wars.
The Black Legion was the XVI Legion (the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus). They were the Legion of Warmaster Horus Lupercal, who was said to be the most favored of the Emperor's sons.
In honor of Horus's significant achievements during the Great Crusade, the Emperor decreed that the Legion should be renamed the Sons of Horus. However, Horus later was corrupted by Chaos and rebelled against the Emperor, instigating the devastating Horus Heresy. Finally, at the Siege of Terra, Horus was slain by the Emperor, and his rebellion was defeated.
The Black Legion includes a substantial portion of the former Sons of Horus alongside Traitor Astartes from all walks of life.
The Black Legion sees itself not as the successor of Horus and his Legion but as a new army to continue the Long War and succeed where he failed.
The Legion operates in countless small warbands across the galaxy, except when they are called together under Abaddon's banner to spearhead one of his notorious Black Crusades, where they and other disparate forces of Chaos unite under an influential Chaos Champion and go forth en masse to wage war against the Imperium of Man.
