Chapter Demeanour:
Son of Night-
The Battle-Brothers of the Raven Guard are known as dark and brooding, often surly and recalcitrant. The Raven Guard are not given to unnecessary conversation, preferring instead to watch and to listen, waiting for events to unfold to their advantage before acting. Some have described their habit of withholding all comment despite repeated questioning to be quite infuriating. The Raven Guard are extremely patient, biding their time and never acting rashly. They appear to be motivated by some inner darkness and to shun the light, metaphorically and often literally. While they do fight alongside other Space Marine Chapters they have often been accused of failing to share the full extent of their plans with their allies, leading to disagreement and overt conflict on numerous occasions. When fighting in the same theatre of operations as conventional forces such as Imperial Guard and local militia units, the Raven Guard have been known to use their allies as bait in elaborate traps, launching ambushes against common foes, but not always before the unknowing bait has been taken. On numerous such occasions, a furious Imperial Guard Colonel or defence force marshal has lodged the strongest of objections with the Chapter, to be met by nothing but a cold, black-eyed gaze, if even that.
Solo-Mode Ability:
Master of the Shadows: Passive
Effects: The Raven Guard excel at covert operations, opting for the more subtle approach over an all-out assault. Millennia of training and refining their guerilla tactics have made them masters of blending into the shadows and striking when their opponent least expects it. When the Battle-Brother is in solo mode, he may re-roll any failed Concealment, Shadowing and Silent Move Tests. Improvement: At Rank 3 or above, all attacks made by the Battle-Brother against surprised targets gain a +2 to Armour Penetration. At Rank 5 or above, the Battle-Brother gains a +20 bonus to Concealment, Shadowing and Silent Move Tests. At Rank 7 or above, all attacks made by the BattleBrother against surprised targets gain a +4 to Armour Penetration.
Attack Pattern:
Exploit Weakness: Half Action(Free at Rank 5), Cost 4, Sustained No.
Effects: The Raven Guard use precise application of force to cripple their enemy. The squad works in concert to exploit the foe’s weaknesses and deliver potent, strategic blows. As a Half Action, any Battle-Brother in Support Range may single out an enemy. Until the beginning of that Battle-Brother’s next turn, all members of the Kill-team may re-roll damage rolls against that target (the second result must be taken). Only one target may be singled out at a time. Improvement: At Rank 5, singling out a target becomes a Free Action
Defensive Stance:
Evasive Maneuvers: Full Action, Cost 3, Sustained Yes,
Effects: Battle-Brothers of the Raven Guard favour agilely avoiding their opponent’s main attack over a stalwart defence. All Battle-Brothers in Support Range no longer trigger the effects of Overwatch from an enemy. In addition, BattleBrothers in Support Range gain a +20 bonus to all tests to avoid Pinning.Improvement: At Rank 3, all Battle-Brothers in Support Range are immune to the effects of Pinning.
Chapter After Action Report with Helmet Picter
The Raven Guard take an incredibly thorough approach to battle, planning out every angle prior to the engagement, and analysing every manoeuvre afterwards. They use data recorded during battle compiled by the Chapter’s warriors to hold post-action sermons to analyse the performance of the Chapter, helping improve their effectiveness in combat. Raven Guard Battle-Brothers serving in the Deathwatch often try to maintain this tradition during their secondment. Using a helmet-mounted picter they can personally review the events of the mission, and better prepare themselves, and the rest of the Kill-team, for future engagements. At the end of each mission, the Battle-Brother may take a Challenging (+0) Tactics Test. Every member of the Kill-team gains an additional 50 experience points per degree of success.
Chapter Trapping:
The Ravenclaw: Commonly placed on the right shoulder of veteran Raven Guard Battle-Brothers, the black Ravenclaw is painted upon a white shoulder pad +3 Perception test after other mods.

History:
(Work in Progress)
Korbin was born on the Chapter homeworld Deliverance and trained on Mars to become a TechMarine. Korbin was always highly intelligent and perceptive. While not as quiet as marines of his chapter he tended to speak out more when he knew it to be better. He usually knew what needed to be done, but wasn’t always able to express himself. The way his mind worked couldn’t be so easily put into words. While he might not of been the most charming of Raven Guard’s he is a skilled artificer and renowned for his stealth in combat.
Deliverance is a mining colony with a tough lifestyle and troubled history. The Chapter is supplied by the nearby Kiavahr forgeworld, which refused to give secrets over to Mars, and only listens to the Chapter’s leadership. All Raven Guard marines must learn to “Shadow Walk”as part of trials, learning from Shadow Masters, taught to move in silence, shadows, and between sounds quietly, even in power armor. “Wraith-Slipping,” as its known among the Chapter, is the art of hiding oneself, taught in the Ravenspire. True masters believe it’s a skill that never truly becomes honed until you are the hunted and this ability is the difference between life and death. For 2 years Korbin spent perfecting his guerilla tactics and “Wraith-Slipping”, holding off until he could finally be extracted.
Targus VIII is the mission that changed Korbin forever. He ended up serving under Captain Kayvaan Shrike during the assault on Targus VIII. Part of a covert team dropped into a heavily contested warzone. The enemy knew Korbin’s squad was coming, and his drop site was obliterated by artillery fire. Every single Battle-Brother he dropped with that day was killed in the hail of fire, but he miraculously made it out alive. Korbin’s extraction Thunderhawk was later destroyed in orbit along with others en route to pick up multiple squads. He was stranded on Targus VIII for nearly two years after heavy losses forced a retreat of marines in orbit. He eventually found Captain Kayvaan’s squad and together performed numerous guerilla raids on the Ork. Korbin and the rest of Shrike’s men were hailed as heroes upon extraction. While the rest of the company went on to fight in other campaigns, Korbin was recommended for leadership, but instead requested secondment to the Deathwatch, for his valorous efforts behind enemy lines. Now before every mission, Korbin takes the time to etch his fallen brother’s names onto bolt rounds, the first kills in a mission are in honor of his fallen brothers. He carries on their glory, bringing light and death in their names.
Korbin’s “Shadow Gauntlets” come from a tradition secretly passed down by Raven Guard Techmarines in cooperation with Kiavahr tech-priest. The designs, which are kept secret even from Mars, are a custom lightly armored, but more flexible and stealthier, gauntlet for deserving Raven Guard marines than standard power armor gauntlets. These allow skilled senior Chapter members to move and attack silently in close quarters with flawless precision. Recently Brother Korbin was entrusted with a Chapter Relic of great renown, the “Shadow in the Sky.” It’s an ancient weapon that is a long, curved power sword like the talon of a bird. Perfectly balanced and with a razor’s edge, it seems to move with a mind of its own when in the hands of a Raven Guard BattleBrother.
Korbin’s actions have brought great honor to his Chapter. However, all of this comes with his shame and inability to overcome a curse of his armor. It was worn by a mighty Captain who led a lost campaign where many marines were lost. For a Raven Guard, with such few numbers, the loss has been a shame and a curse on his armor, hindering his command ability. This armor has a history of failed leaders and Korbin hasn’t been an exception. Upon secondment to the Deathwatch Korbin has preffered solitary work in the forges or advanced recon and scouting on missions. He is silent and unseen in nearly any condition, sometimes using allies as bait to lure out enemies and striking at the last possible second. You don’t hear Korbin approach and you rarely know he’s in the room unless he makes his presence known. While he is often quiet you know he is listening and watching everything and everyone. Sometimes catching brother’s mistakes and giving them hints, but rarely an answer. In the forges Korbin is resourceful and creative. While his chapter had to make do with fewer resources than others, they did make do and learned to push and maintain their equipment fully.
While Korbin isn’t very social, he is friendly once you get to know him. His white skin and black eyes take a moment to get used to, but once you do, he can be full of knowledge and opinions.
