Dark Krakens - Notable Dark Krakens: Chapter Master Mezonyki Reio - Mezonyki Reio is the first and current Chapter Master of the Dark Krakens. He is currently commanding the Dark Krakens forces engaged against a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan in the Pankallis Sub-sector of the Octarius Sector.Captain Krijeni Luceior - Krijeni Luceior is the current captain of the Dark Krakens 5th Company which is also a part of the larger Strike Force Luceior despatched by Chapter Master Mezonyki Reio to defend the planet of Death of Bianzeer in the Bianzeer's Hollow System of the Pankallis Sub-sector from a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. Captain Luceior is deeply aware that he has little more combat experience than many of those he commands, and he feels that he has much to prove to earn their trust and respect. As a former Greyshield, Luceior fought alongside many warriors descended from the White Scars, Space Wolves and Raven Guard Chapters. He was greatly influenced by their penchant for hunting, taking trophies and hanging fetishes from their armour. Thus, he fully embraced the similar cultures the Dark Krakens found on Naktis. He wears a scaled cloak made from the skin of a maredrak -- a kind of sea dragon native to Naktis -- that he slew. He wears a necklace of shark teeth and squid beaks, and upon his helmet, there is a bladed and stylised dorsal fin modelled on those of the impossibly quick lightning sharks that make their homes in Naktis' many shallow reefs. Being a Primaris Space Marine, Luceior is trained and skilled in the use of a huge range of weapons and armour. However, during the fighting on Death of Bianzeer, he spent much of the time wielding the power sword Ice Piercer and the master-crafted Stalker Bolt Rifle Raven's Reach, from which a corvid skull and feather fetishes hang. The latter was a gift from a fellow Greyshield that Luceior fought with who was descended from Corax – primarch of the Raven Guard -- who went on to join the Rift Stalkers Chapter. Like many Dark Krakens, Luceior has adorned his armour with symbols daubed in bioluminescent chemicals taken from Naktis' deep-sea creatures. Each of his arms is painted with one of the Kraken's Tentacles, representing his ability to strike a foe from a long distance, as well as his implacable tenacity and hunting skill. The Beak of the Kraken represents his captaincy and is painted on his right shoulder plate. He has had a laurel of viperfish teeth painted around the crown of his helmet -- representing a Chapter award for bravery. Other symbols painted onto his armour include angler fish maws, skulls and spine-limpets that represent kill markings, victories, oaths and the like. Lucieor, together with Watch Master Akrep Xie of the Eye of Octos Deathwatch, Battle Leader Rakmeyr Bluewolf of the Wolfspear Chapter and Lord General Militant Arneld Heifaast, commander of the Astra Militarum stationed on the planet, stand against the Tyranid hordes.Lieutenant Suharth Keneddyr - Suharth Keneddyr is a lieutenant of the 5th Company of the Dark Krakens Chapter. He is currently attached to Strike Force Luceior.Lieutenant Tuemarl Hena - Tuemarl Hena is a lieutenant of the 5th Company of the Dark Krakens Chapter. He is currently attached to Strike Force Luceior.Reclusiarch Herrahdura Zitadan - Zitadan's role as Reclusiarch has in some ways been harder than that of those in pre-Ultima Founding Chapters, for the warriors that made up the Dark Krakens upon its formation were all Greyshields. They had spent many standard years fighting alongside battle-brothers hailing from different gene-sires and did not have the Terran centuries of tradition so many Space Marine Chapters could look to for strength and inspiration. It has been important for Zitadan, and Master of Sanctity Sukerno, to forge a culture for their Chapter around which they could unite hundreds of otherwise disconnected battle-brothers. To do this, they wholly embraced the cultures of Naktis' population -- the hunting of colossal ocean beasts, taking skins, teeth and bones to adorn their armour and more. They knew that in time, the Greyshields would be replaced by warriors recruited from the natives of Naktis, so it naturally followed that the world's cultures influenced the Chapter's own. Zitadan spent much of his time as Greyshield fighting alongside scions of Roboute Guilliman, Sanguinius, Rogal Dorn and Ferrus Manus, and so he gained little inclination to slaughter beasts for trophies from them. However, he has all the tenacious pragmatism of his gene-sire, Vulkan, and in the interest of his Chapter now partakes in these pursuits. Upon his right shoulder plate is painted the Eye of the Kraken, which in darkness appears in fluorescent green. This represents his role as the Chapter's second-ranking Chaplain and the Reclusiam's total oversight and cares for the Chapter's traditions and culture. The handle of Zitadan's Crozius Arcanum, Hadosmite, is wrapped with the skin of a deadly sea serpent found around Naktis' equatorial volcanic island chain. His Raider Pattern Combat Bike, Hastam Veneatoris, is adorned with all manner of trophies taken from slain sea monsters. The book chained to it is the second copy ever produced of the Codex Tenebris Abyssor, the collected beliefs, values and legends of the Chapter. The writing on its night-black pages is visible only in darkness, for it is written in the same bioluminescent inks as that many Dark Krakens use to daub symbols on their armour.Chaplain Aperah Talin - Aperah Talin is a Chaplain of the Dark Krakens Chapter.

He is currently attached to Strike Force Luceior.Company Ancient Cahy Taimon - Cahy Taimon is the Company Ancient of the 5th Company of the Dark Krakens Chapter. He is currently attached to Strike Force Luceior.Lexicanium Paraon Uari - Newly ascended to the Dark Krakens' Librarius, Lexicanium Uari is a psyker gifted well beyond his experience and is already tapped to one day command all the Chapter's Librarians. He is an adept wave caller -- a skilled master of Aquavitalis psychic powers -- as many Dark Krakens Librarians have learned to become. They are masters at corralling the power of the ocean and have embraced the Naktis people's reverence for the sea as a beautiful life-giver and merciless destroyer. He also has a strong grasp of telekinesis and beast-calling, the latter of which has influenced him greatly. Uari has a deep affinity with wildlife of all kinds, to the extent that he can sometimes enter their minds and take over their bodies, and so he eschews the hunting of beasts that so many of his battle-brothers enjoy when not at war. As such, he bears no fetishes, sea-beast skulls, teeth or skins. He does, however, adorn his armour, cloak and robes with bioluminescent symbols, the inks for them harvested from animals he husbands himself so none are slain for the chemicals to be acquired. Octopoid tentacles running horizontally over his arms represent the mastery of the many levels of psychic discipline he has achieved and the series of arduous tasks he completed to join the Dark Krakens' Librarius. Uari paints a symbol or image of every Naktis beast he has ever psychically linked with. Some of these images are so small they are invisible to the naked eye; others he has emblazoned boldly. They include razor sharks, coral scorpions, spinestars, pliosaurs, helikoprids, and tyrannofins. Uari has also painted a skull set in the gaping maws of a shark on each vambrace. Each represents a close battle-brother who was killed by Uari during the fire mastery trial of his Librarius training. Uari was hideously disfigured in the same trial, to the extent that he never takes off his helm. In battle, Uari's powers are more than enough to overcome most foes. However, he also wields the Force Sword Nightclaimer with great skill, delivering controlled, psychically enhanced blows which sever limbs and lop off heads. He is currently assisting Captain Krijeni Luceior of the Dark Krakens 5th Company in defending the world of Death of Bianzeer against a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan.Codicier Daranshi Ekko - Daranshi Ekko is a codicier of the Dark Krakens Chapter.
