The Red Hunters are a secretive Space Marine chapter, a little too close with the Inquisition for comfort. They often serve under an Inquisitor Lord, functioning as his or her personal Space Marine strike force. In this regard, they willingly allow themselves to be used as a tool by the Inquisition, often to hunt down traitor marines. Given the Inquisition's propensity to root out Chaos and fight daemonic incursions, the Red Hunters are required to undergo routine Men In Black style mind wiping. Surprising that the mighty Space Marines would willingly subject themselves to this, but it is theorized that they are honor bound to serve the Inquisition. They are frequently involved in campaigns that expose them to the ruinous powers of Chaos, which, with long term personalities and memories, might otherwise slowly begin to corrupt their souls. Furthermore, the Inquisition is not particularly fond of anyone knowing their secrets or objectives, yet another reason for the mind wiping. After every few campaigns, like a puzzle, the chapter's history and roles of its members ends up being shifted around by the Inquisition to account for secrecy and the marines being "reset". This makes them an extremely insidious and deadly tool, as they can therefore be used for the Inquisition's sometimes unethical plans without resistance from the marines themselves. It is not known how much the officers of the chapter are subject to mind wiping. They are either trusted enough not to undergo it, or are subjected to it on a less frequent basis than the chapter's rank and file. With that in mind, the Red Hunters are capable of operating independently, executing operations against other forces beside's Chaos at the request of an Inquisitor Lord, rather than directly with one.
