the death ravens were once a proud and glorious lot. charging in to battle with a zeal that was said to mimic that of their very primarch. clashing chainsword and flesh and the holy fire their chapter master held so dearly to their to any who would set to defile the great lands of they're chapter or any any other land their primarch and their emperor had set their sights upon. while the death ravens were but a sub chapter of the great blood angels chapter they fought with a strength to match that of their larger faction.

After the heresy like many their chapter had suffered a huge loss. struck with a deep sadness and the whispers of the newly inherited curse of their primarchs death the death ravens slowly became secluded from their other brothers of the blood angels. the became angry at the loss of their fearless leader and even more consumed by the black rage as they each relived that day as if it was yesterday as more and more members were inducted in to the dreaded death company their chapter master had become more concerned with the fate of his chapter and even more concerned with his fate as the horrors he saw during the heresy were far more frightening than most would believe. but what had haunted him the most was what he had bee sent to do shortly after.

after the heresy few chapters were sent to aid in the defense of those cities and planets who had not yet been effected by it. in most cases they were successful as the planets they were sent to seemed low priority by the forces of chaos. a majority of the death angels chapter were sent to aid on missions such as these. but unfortunately they were not always as lucky.One night in particular haunts the chapter master. after a distress signal was sent out from a nearby colony in the sector the he had been patrolling he and his personal guard went to the surface to see what the seemingly unaffected planet had been threatened by. after landing on the planet via drop pod all seemed natural guards posted where they should be and a seemingly normal colony after walking in to the city it's self they slowly realized that they had walked right into a trap a laughter slowly began to grow around them every man woman and child were laughing louder and louder it grew until all came to a complete silence. lass than a few seconds later the natives attacked man woman child began assaulting the squad using what ever they could guns poles anything they could get their hands on shreding at the armor of the squad their attacks were mostly useless beating on them until they're hands were bloody from trying to scrape thought the armor of the soldiers all laughing while they did so. slowly they began to retreat into the bushes with a eerie giggle every little bit they walked away. they knew they must had been the work of daemons the guard stood confused about their retreat they looked to their leader as to what they should do. he knew in his mind what exactly had gripped the villagers and knew if they were going to save them they must find who had been controlling them. they began trudging into the forest the villagers had retreated into following the laughs knowing it would lead them right to where they were heading. it had seemed as if they were walking them in circles the guard began to question they're leader who had not doubted himself for some time at that moment the laughing had come to a dead stop silent the squad walked into a clearing to see a makeshift throne made of whatever they could scavenge trees discarded armor even corpses upon the top of it sat a intricate throne bearing the mark of slanessh. the chapter masters suspicions were proven correct what he had predicted next had also sadly been corrcect a traitor captain of his very chapter had given in to the alure of chaos and with the gifts granted to him by the dark god enslaved the town and driven them to madness. the villagers were preparing to strike again picking up their arms again but this time they were more prepared aparently they had taken up the weapons of the members of the captains squad that had obviously not agreed to his decision to ally with the enemy. the captain stayed quiet for sometime the chapter master made his stance clear to the captain " you are convicted of heresy there will be no judge no jury just execution release these innocents and your death will be clean but you will be forgiven." the captain remained quiet and smirked, the capter master spoke once more " lay down your weapon and release these civilians NOW captain." the captain finaly spoke with humorous tone of voice " all the power of slanessh the control of this rather loyal village and you dare command ME!?" he laughed " you maybe a chapter master but you are certainly in no position to be commanding me maybe at one time but not now i have found more pleasure in the slaughtering of innocents than serving my heh "emperor" HA talk about a joke the man sits on a throne licking his wounds for what? he might as well be dead he can't even move you can't honestly believe hes still alive he battled the power of the gods hmm i bet he even begged" "SHUT YOUR MOUTH TRAITOR" the chapter master shouted, "oh is someone offended yeah i'd be pretty embarassed too if my primarch got his feathers plucked like a house bird"," you forget captain he was your primarch as well.." true but i serve the true master now, here how about I give YOU a chance come serve slanessh hes had his eye on you i think he has plans for you...." i think were done talking captain".a silence lingered for sometime the captain responded " too bad i thought you wanted to protect these citizens"," this ends now come down from there so i can slay you and free them"," how sad i think i know what you need, you need some of the enjoyment i've been getting all day", i will not harm these innocents heritic", "oh i don't think you'll have a choice" the captain raised his finger and pointed out to the chapter master and said one last word "kill...."

the civilians attacked relentlessly chainswords slashing at the men just narrowly avoiding the squad while the chapter master would never put his men in such danger he could not harm these innocents just then blood champion Irenaeus was struck by a power sword rending him nearly in two by a child who could hardly grasp the weapon. the chapter master had to chose the civilians lives or his mens. this is the desicion that haunts him to this day he ordered his men to attack but they wouldn't they'd rather see they're deaths than the deaths of helpless innocents while they tried to avoid the attacks 2 more of his guard had fallen he would not see any more of his brothers die. he drew his scythe and began ripping though the enslaved as fast as he could furious with the thought that he had to shed innocent blood but he wouldn't have any more deaths in his chapter the heresy bothered him deeply all the traitors that had slain members of his chapter and to think those that had been slain where because of this traitor leading his men into slaughter for his own warped sense of pleasure.H he tore through the civilians until he had reached the wreched throne the heritic waited on he drew his power axe and waited for the chapter master to strike. he ran up to the thrones base but stalled realizing the horrors he had just committed he let out a furious howl in anger and sadness as the captain just laughed at what he had just done " i'm proud of you chapter master i was begining to think you were going to just run away soo much innocent blood so many souls you've made my master quite happy, now what are you going to do please kill me i'm ready to die all that innocent blood shed it looks fun to die KILL ME hehe the pleasure the ecstacy of death soo aluring so so lovely and to know my soul will go to the master even better HAHAHAHAHA END IT! NOW!!", "no" the chapter master replied, "WHAT!?! YOU DARE DENY ME MY PLEASURES fine if you will not kill me i will make you". what was left of the squad stood in awe as the chapter master deflected every blow the captain attempted to land. " the last thing i will grant you traitor is any more sick pleasure",with a quick swipe of the masters sythe handle he dis armed the traitor "NO NO ONE DENYS ME PLEASURE NO ONE!!! " a sudden demonic tone came across the captains voice " YOU WILL OBEY ME YOU WILL KILL ME KILL ME NOW" his body began to shiver as spikes began to shatter though his armor" YOU WILL KILL ME NOW" his hands began to mutate in to long demonic claws and his body began to take on a shape more to the liking of a daemon" YOU CANNOT KILL THE MAN BUT WILL YOU KILL THE DAEMON CHAPTER MASTER" the chapter master spoke only one last word "no...." the newly transformed daemon kin ran his sharp claws through the chapter masters chest severing many of his organs and his life support began to fail the daemon removed his claws and looked the remaining two honour guard and said " YOU WILL KILL ME" he sprinted at the two men grabing sanguinary nominative khloros and ripping hism to shreads while brother Thanatos managed to sweep behind and pick up the chapter masters scythe and hack the daemon through his spine and rip his mortal body is half ending the captains life and freeing all the souls he had captured hopefully leaving them to rest.

at the end of the battle Thanatos could hear the voice of his chapter master calling to him he ran to his battered and shreded body and he said these last words to him " it is up to you to tell them what took place here today i will become an atrocity but you will lead our brothers through these dark days you will take my place and bring back the place we once had in our chapter our primarch is dead do not let the fate of the blood angels follow go take my insignia from my neck and my weapon return to the ship and tell them exsactly what happened here that mark is yours to bear serve it better than i did.

that night haunts the chapter master like nothing the heresy or the black rage could bring about the dead bodys of hundreds of innocents many of them children the battered and mutilated bodys of his former comrades and the mutated and mangled body of the captain who had laid this fate upon his chapter. after this night the newly appointed chapter master of the death ravens became a vry active member of the reclusiarch studing under astorath himself. being one of the only chapter masters to follow such path after his long secclusion within the reclusiarch he re emerged chapter master and leader of the damed, reaper Thanatos of the death ravens. he has appointed himself the personal task of finding a way to reverse the effects of the black rage and turning it into a tool to fight the heritics and daemons that turned his chapter from a legion of honorable knights to a blood thirsty brawlers strickened with the red thirst. and when that day comes he will take the fight with his brothers and lead his chapter and all of the blood angels into the warp itself and take down the twisted dark gods that plauge this world with it's foul atrocities and sick desires. the dark gods man have plans but as long as Thanatos draws breath they will not see the light of day and will fall only into the blackness of the night thats where the raven waits for it is his domain and none will disturb the night.
