The Night Lords were originally the subject of only one book, Lord of the Night (2005) by Simon Spurrier, which presented an alternate interpretation of their history where their Primarch and progenitor, the Night Haunter, was a highly focused individual who shunned the accolades that were heaped upon his peers. This will only come a fraction of the way to summarising what the Night Lords are, but for our purposes it will do. Essentially, think of an entire army of eight-foot-tall genetically enhanced supersoldiers in power armour, and now they incorporate all the darkest aspects of Batman filtered through the characteristic grim darkness of the far future. Even before the Horus Heresy broke out they were infamous for their brutal attacks (which often involved excessive amounts of force) and terror tactics.
