Jago Sevatarion - Death and Legacy: Some believe Sevatarion met his ultimate fate at the final battle of the Horus Heresy during the Siege of Terra. He was eventually succeeded by Zso Sahaal, a Terran-born Night Lord. Following the death of Sevatar, the Atramentar largely dissolved, which some, like the Apothecary Talos Valcoran, believed was due to Sevatar's successor being a non-Nostraman. Though they respected Sevatar's successor, they had no affection for him. When the Atramentar disbanded after Sevatar's death, their resistance to Zso Sahaal was born from something more than simple prejudice. Some of the 1st Company were Terrans, the oldest warriors in the VIIIth Legion. There was more to it than Sahaal's birth world. Being Terran, Nostraman, or born of any other world had never mattered to most of the Night Lords. They were divided because with the Primarch gone, this was every Traitor Legion's fate over time.Centuries later, when a member of the Atramentar was questioned by Mercutian, a squad member of First Claw, 10th Company, he replied that the 1st Company had dissolved mostly because they felt that no one could live up the dark reputation of their former First Captain. The Atramentar would serve no other leader after Sevatar died; he'd made them into what they were, a brotherhood that couldn't be broken any other way, just as the members of the VIIIth Legion had refused to serve no single captain after their Primarch died. It was not their way, just as most of the Traitor Legions ultimately fragmented into hundreds of different warbands. Allegiance to Chaos ultimately bred division and fractious internecine conflict.After the Siege of Terra, on the Daemon World of Tsagualsa, the new homeworld of the Night Lords, during council meetings of his Chosen, the Night Haunter would often demand the presence of his former first captain, only to be reminded that Sevatarion had died long ago during the Heresy. This revelation would greatly agitate the already emotionally disturbed primarch. The Night Lord Mercutian would later confide to the Human Navigator of the Echo of Damnation, Octavia, that he personally believed that Sevatarion yet lived. Talos Valcoran would dismiss this claim as an entertaining fiction. Every Legion had its conspiracies and myths.Following the end of the Horus Heresy, the Night Lords Legion broke down into companies and warbands, following individual Chaos Lords like most of the other Traitor Legions. It was only their primarch's continued presence that had inspired unity within the VIIIth Legion. After Konrad Curze's death at the hands of the infamous Imperial Callidus Assassin M'Shen, the Night Lords' raiding parties sailed farther from Tsagualsa, staying away for longer periods.As the years after the Heresy passed, many stopped returning at all. Many captains and Chaos Lords claimed they were the Night Haunter's heir, but each claim was refuted by the others. No one soul could bind a Traitor Legion together. It was simply the way of things for those in thrall to the Ruinous Powers.Talos Valcoran believed that Sevatarion was the only one who could have held the title of Master of the VIIIth Legion without his brothers betraying him. At least, he was the only one who would have survived his brothers' betrayals, but even he would have struggled to hold the Legion together. There had developed too many ideologies, too many conflicting desires and drives. Such was the legacy of betrayal, and the curse of Chaos.
