Raptors - Notable Raptors: Chapter Master Lias Issodon, "The Grim" - The current Chapter Master of the Raptors, Issodon is a consummate strategist as well as one of the finest marksmen within the Chapter. He possesses an innate talent for ambush, infiltration and sabotage that borders on the supernatural, and cares little for glory or regard, simply for victory. An extremely taciturn and private individual, Issodon communicates little even with his own battle-brothers unless needed, which, coupled with his expressionless countenance and dark eyes, have earned him the nickname "The Grim" within his Chapter.Captain Orelius - Orelius is the captain of the Raptors 3rd Company and was the highest-ranking Space Marine officer in the Imperial invasion force during the Taros Campaign. He is a long-time servant of his Chapter, having fought in wars and Imperial Crusades for the past 100 Terran years. His entire company and support units were committed to the invasion by his Chapter Master. Although Lord High Commander Otto Ivan Gustavus of the Astra Militarum was the overall commander of the Taros Crusade, in fact he had little control over the actions of Orelius and his warriors. Still, Orelius' experience and the reputation of the Adeptus Astartes made him a valued member of the command staff when planning operations. His forces would not be involved in a protracted ground campaign. Once their mission was completed the Space Marines withdrew to their battle barge to prepare for their next deployment. As commander of the Raptors' 3rd Company and the most experienced warrior of the Chapter present, Orelius held seniority over Captain Kaedes of the 6th Company, although they shared the same rank. As befits his Chapter's heritage, Orelius was an aggressive commander, who always sought to take the battle to the enemy and led from the front.Captain Kaedes - Kaedes is the captain of the Raptors' 6th Company. His role during the Taros Campaign was to provide support and battlefield replacements to Orelius' 3rd Company. As such he was subordinate to Orelius. In the event Orelius became a casualty, Kaedes would be fully able to step in and lead the Raptors battle-brothers on the battlefield. Whilst not as experienced as Orelius, he was still a Space Marine captain, and had all the respect that rank demanded within Gustavus' staff. Kaedes was struck repeatedly in the right arm and upper torso with molten shrapnel during the retreat of all Imperial forces from Taros. He would later be interred into the cybernetic sarcophagus of a Dreadnought as a result of the wounds suffered on Taros.Captain Kassyan- The Indomitus Crusade's Fleet Tertius contained the largest number of Raptors battle-brothers dedicated to the crusade, including amongst them Captain Kassyan of the Veteran 1st Company, alongside dozens of armoured vehicles and well-equipped elite battle-brothers of the same company. Fighting predominantly in the Segmentum Solar, the Raptors accompanying Fleet Tertius under Kassyan's command engaged in prolonged combat against Khornate Crusades of Slaughter, suffering great losses in the bloody conflict with their pitiless foes.Lieutenant Seranis - Seranis' strike force of Raptors, acting as the forward scouts for Battle Group Orphaeus of the Indomitus Crusade's Fleet Primus, was instrumental in tracking opportunistic Aeldari Corsairs along the fringes of the Great Rift. Seranis himself led the boarding action upon the Corsairs' flagship Valanith, slaying the pirates' leader and bringing an end to the xenos' predations.Veteran Sergeant Octor Guerris - Guerris was among the forces of the Raptors seconded to the Indomitus Crusade's Fleet Secundus. The kill-team led by Sergeant Guerris earned particular fame upon the world of Dharrovar, infiltrating the facilities of House Mandrakor and eliminating no fewer than seven traitorous Fallen Nobles.Kohl Leibhen - Prior to his secondment to the Deathwatch, Brother Leibhen distinguished himself among the Raptors as a particularly talented Scout. Even once he completed his time as an initiate, he frequently chose to work in close concert with members of the Chapter's 10th Company. Over his first standard century of service, he engaged in scouting expeditions behind enemy lines as part of dozens of missions, frequently serving the role of sergeant in command of the various Scout Squads in times of need. Since his arrival at Watch Fortress Erioch in the Jericho Reach, Brother Leibhen has primarily served as a member of a kill-team but has volunteered for numerous scouting missions. His abilities to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines have been particularly useful within the Tyranid-infested worlds of the Orpheus Salient of the Achilus Crusade. On three separate occasions, the battle-brother has engaged in extended scouting missions on worlds under Tyranid assault while using only Scout Armour. Reports of his findings are prized by the members of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Ordo Biologis who focus on the Tyranid threat.Cassius Yates - Brother Yates' secondment to the Deathwatch was ostensibly made due to his service as an Assault Marine. Clearly, he is talented in that regard, as he has distinguished himself in this service prior to and since his arrival at Watch Fortress Erioch. However, his passion and greatest expertise comes from his abilities as a Land Speeder pilot. Never shy to recount his past successes, the battle-brother has recounted countless stories of his abilities to pilot both the Land Speeder and the Land Speeder Storm through extraordinary battlefield conditions. During his service with the Deathwatch, he has been able to demonstrate these skills only a limited number of times, due to his usual responsibilities as the member of a kill-team. On several occasions, he has served as a pilot for missions undertaken by other teams, and has proven himself more than capable in that role. His enthusiasm for piloting is unabashed, and he invariably preaches the merits of a swift offensive strike to any who are within earshot.
