Samus is a name that's been whispered in fear for eons. It is the name of a daemon prince that took a particular interest in the Astartes, ever since the Luna Wolves unwittingly released it from captivity during the Great Crusade. It fought Astartes on several occasions, but due to its 'kill or be killed' attitude, it was always banished back to the Warp, albeit at significant cost in lives. After the end of the Horus Heresy, Samus faded back into obscurity, but he was never gone.
Samus has gained in prominence of late, in no small part due to the shrines erected in his honor by the Deacons of the Word. He is less likely to personally manifest in the Materium, but has been known to send his emissaries to possess mortals, sometimes for prolonged periods. Why he has gone from rampaging monster to insidious manipulator only the True Gods know, but perhaps he was grown more potent over the millennia, and gained in wisdom also.
The Children of Samus is a cult of wyrds, assassins, and other ner-do-wells that some say follow the daemon prince like they would a God.
