Training
Death Korp hopefuls are subjected to a brutal three year training program, designed to weed out those weak of mind and spirit. They are often subjected to physical and psychological torture, physical mutilation, and chemical testing. Rumors say they are allowed only to sleep in vats of blood, breathing through a tube, or that they have to make their own sleeping equipment from the skin of those they kill during training.
Either way, the last rite they preform before being accepted into the Korp is to kill all of their remaining blood family, there by proving their unending loyalty to the Empire and Emperor above all.

History
The Death Korp was originally a Guild who carried out executions within the main city of Eltar. During the first attack of The Crimson Horde, The Emperor became fascinated with their efficiency and offered them a Military contract as a free lance Korp. Within five years they had gathered a reputation for being the single most brutal Korp in the entirety of the Eltar Army, even going so far as to kill their own troops in an effort to win. The Emperor was enamored by their fierce brutality and eventually elevated them to be his personal infantry, receiving and following orders from him alone, no matter what his Generals said otherwise. The Korp flourished in this manner and despite the eventual loss of the war were greatly responsible for the victory against the Horde.
