House Malinax (Traitoris Perdita) is a Chaos Knight House from the traitor forge world of Xana II. In the Heresy Xana tried to serve both loyalists and traitors, but the evidence of its double-dealing with Horus mounted. It took part in the Burning of Prospero; at the Xana Incursion (009.M31) it defended the forge-fanes of Xana II against a loyalist raid by Blackshields and Dark Angels. At Beta-Garmon it fought beside Legio Tempestus.
