EXPLANATION
During the Horus Heresy, Corvus Corax suffered heavy losses when the Raven Guard were devastated at the Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V. After the war, he attempted to rebuild his legion using genetic experimentation, though the results were flawed. Consumed by anger toward the traitor legions, Corax eventually left Imperial space to hunt Chaos forces. According to some accounts, he entered the Warp to pursue his enemies and has not been seen since.
WHY IT MATTERS
Corax’s disappearance left the Raven Guard without their Primarch and reinforced the tragic consequences of the Horus Heresy. His legacy continues to shape the chapter’s emphasis on stealth warfare and tactical precision.
