House Raven - Notable House Raven Personnel: Princeps Grevan Raven - Lord Grevan Raven, fourth of his name, is the current princeps of House Raven, the so-called "Iron Duke" of Kolossi and he who sits upon the Adamantium Throne of the Keep Inviolate. As a young pilot he joined the Order of Companions -- the fighting elite of the house -- where all noted his martial prowess. His meteoric rise continued to the highest level, as befitted his noble ancestry. Despite the many Knight suits available to House Raven, the majority of them are Knight Errant and Knight Paladin patterns. Ferrous Maximus, however, is a Knight Warden. As the legend goes, its Avenger Gatling Cannon was triply blessed by the Omnissiah Himself. Wherever the Knight's need is greatest, the pilot of Ferrous Maximus can recall that ancient stored memory, bringing forth a rapid burst of Gatling Cannon fire that is impossibly accurate, shredding even the largest foe.Lord Lucitas - Lord Lucitas was the leader of the detachment of House Raven Knights that accompanied the Titans of the Legio Metalica during the Subjugation of Nicomedua. During this campaign, Lord Lucitas piloted a precious Cerastus Knight-Atrapos that had survived through the fierce fights of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.Baron Randul - Randul is one of the many barons that serve beneath Princeps Grevan Raven. Baron Randul has been under a black cloud for the last solar decade, for his peers know him as "the cursed Baron", an epithet he has only been too eager to shake. Each time he has gone to battle, his Knight Gallant -- Impenetrable -- has been so badly damaged that it has tested even the skill of the Sacristans to repair it. Yet each mission assigned to Baron Randul, no matter how severe the odds against him, has been successfully completed. These triumphs are most often linked to the bold and impetuous heroics of the hard-driving Knight Gallant himself. The Baron's closest kin, those who serve as his court, know of their leader's curse, but are proud to serve beneath him. In the end, they know Baron Randul will make any sacrifice to achieve victory.Baron Daklorn - Baron Daklorn serves as Forge Master in the Exalted Court of Princeps Grevan. To the Forge Master falls the defence of the Keep Inviolate, one of the largest strongholds in the Imperium. He ensures that the immense fortress, long a symbol of House Raven's dominance, can repel even the most aggressive of assaults. Amongst his duties are the protection of entire armies of Sacristans and the mustering of the household Knights should the Iron Duke of Kollossi call. Only those Barons with proven loyalty and the highest battlefield honours are asked to join the Exalted Court, and Daklorn had proven himself in both regards many times over. His Knight Crusader, Tempered Fury, is a walking arsenal, allowing the Forge Master to lay down withering firepower with unerring accuracy. When not fighting as part of his Princeps' Exalted Court, Daklorn leads the Gateguard of the Keep Inviolate. Of late, he has faced -- and crushed -- numerous Heretical armies.Sir Ursumna - Usrumna is the current pilot of the Knight Errant Adamantium Will.Sir Lornarus - Lornarus and his Knight Blade of Fire, won much honour defending the floating city of Eirebian on the Agri-World of Eireius. For ten days Lomarus stood before the gates of the city, holding back a tide of flying Tyranid bio-horrors even as the Hive Mind consumed the world's vegetation, buying enough time for its people to escape into the void.Sir Krewald - Krewald and his Knight Errant Glory Unblemished served with distinction in the ranks of Metalica's Legio Titanicus. Fighting alongside the Imperator-class Titan Hand of Judgement, Krewald protected the towering machine from lesser threats while its gargantuan guns hammered apart a Traitor city's walls and enemy fortifications in a storm of fire. It is not uncommon for a Titan Princeps or Tech-adept of Metalica to be so impressed by the deeds of a Knight or household detachment that they petition House Raven for them to be permanently seconded to the Titan Legion. It is deemed a great honour to serve the Forge World, yet no matter how far a Knight travels, he will always maintain the keep as a symbol upon his armour. This is a declaration of House Raven's might and a reminder for its Nobles to never forget their origins on Kolossi and the Keep Inviolate. Krewald is served by two Bondsmen, Sir Karstin and Sir Tolos.Sir Rommarus - Rommarus is the current pilot of the Knight Errant Hammer of Mars.Sir Horlund - Horlund is the current pilot of the Knight Errant Red Vengeance.Sir Havlorn - Havlorn and his Knight, Steel Guardian, defended the lord of Praxia when his lander was shot down over the Gorlumda Warzone. While the Imperial Navy struggled to break through to the crash site the Knight stood over the wreck, keeping relentless waves of Necron Warriors at bay until reinforcements arrived to push back the foe.Sir Walkorn - Walkorn and his Knight Paladin, Unyielding Iron, have been inducted into House Raven's revered Order of Companions, chiefly for their actions against the Ork worlds of the Heloeum Drift. During the battle for the Wilted Bastion, Walkorn personally destroyed the Rok Eye of Mork. Like all the Companions, Unyielding Iron bears no mark to distinguish its elite status, for House Raven holds that such iconography only benefits their enemies. Despite this, Raven are proud adherents of the chevron designs that mark many Knights. Originally chevrons were used to mark the age of a Knight suit: those with the largest and widest marks were ancient pieces of archeotech. In time, the chevrons took on another meaning for House Raven, identifying the age and experience of its Nobles.Sir Omnitros - More than any other knightly house, House Raven is able to use sledgehammer tactics and weight of numbers to crush their enemies underfoot. Sir Omnitros has become adept at supporting these tactics, constantly absorbing battlefield data and cogitating the optimal strategic solution with up-to-the-minute accuracy. His Knight Castellan, Pride of Kolossi, has been augmented with additional auspicator arrays and data-looms to aid Omnitros' efforts. With such a wealth of auto-analysed information flowing through his mind, Sir Omnitros lays down pinpoint volleys to support his comrades' advance, and projects his Ion Shields to cover them as they retreat. Whether attacking or defending, Pride of Kolossi operates as a lynchpin for the House Raven battle line, utilising predictive fire-patterns to blast each emergent threat as it appears and paving the way for overwhelming victory in the name of the Omnissiah.Sir Karstin - Sir Karstin is a minor Noble who submits willingly to the mental dominance of Sir Krewald in return for greater standing as pilot of the Armiger Helverin Hammerblow.Sir Tolos - Sir Tolos, pilot of the Armiger Warglaive Triumphal, is a more grudging Bondsman of Sir Krewald, but his recently diminished status allows for no other option.
