"Alas Negras de Isaac" "Alas Negras de Isaac" took their name after the offensive from Throat of Prax where the Brother Captain Isaac took the control of the Ravenwing force while battling innumerable odds in a conventional manner which is unusual considering the typical reconnaissance missions of the Ravenwing. "Alas Negras de Isaac" is the reconnaissance force from the Second Company deployed in the Venerable battle barge "Dark Cathedral" and is currently undergoing refit and replacement following the great losses from the Throat of Prax campaign |
Master of the Ravenwing Isaac He was promoted to command the second company following exemplary performance in the Scarlet Wars in which his predecessor, Master Annabael met a heroic death. His capacity for improvisation and adaptation to fluid situations brought him to the attention of the Inner Circle long before this and finally placed him in charge of the much vaunted second company. He always carries a power axe named "Quitapenas" in to battle. It was with this that he killed Shagrat Muzgash, the Warlord of the Kult of Speed, in single combat. He seems to be always follwed by a flock of black crows in to battle. 777 M41: As a young scout, Isaac was deployed in the section of motorized reconnaissance of the tenth company during the assault on the Emerald Gates of the planet Siben. He manages to weave through the swirling hands-to-hand combat in the vicinity of the Emerald Gate on his scout bike and place a demolition charge. This weakened the structure enough for concentrated lascannon fire from the devastator squads to demolish it completely and open the way for advance. His bravery and conduct are recognized and he is then promoted as a battle brother to the sixth company where he continued to train in the deployment of space marine bikes. 798 M41: After the Purge of Scynthia he is promoted to Sergeant, and transferred to the Second Company. Initiation and induction in to the Inner Circle follows soon after. 880 M41: His battlefield achievements and capabilities of personal combat became renown and led to his meteoric rise to the upper echelons of the Ravenwing. 936 M41: After his heroic actions at the Throat of the Prax in the Scarlet Wars Grand Master of the Ravenwing Gideon named Isaac as a Master of the Ravenwing and the successor to Master Annabael who fell in that battle. |
Librarian Hebron In the offensive of the Prax, Hebron had his baptism of fire forming part of the Second Company. 860 M41: After passing the gruelling psychic training and tests he is conferred as a Brother Librarian. He is then assigned to collaborate with Interrogator Chaplain Boreas, which introduce to him to the secrets of the Chapter. 900 M41: During the Treason of Harbal he formed part of a bike squad that tried to locate and to capture a Fallen Angel. Although the mission fails his aptitude on the bike led to him remaining assigned to the 6ª Company. 950 M41: He is assigned on missions with the Second Company until 998 M 41 when he is permanently assigned to the Ravenwing and collaborating with the Chaplain of the Company for the interrogation of Angels Fallen without entering real battles. 998 M41: Is assigned to a rescue mission with the Master of the Ravenwing Isaac. |
