Blagovest Nightson

Blagovest Nightson, known as 'The Son of Night', is the second oldest of the Ancient Wolves (Dreadnoughts) of the Dawn's Wolves Space Marine Chapter.

Background
The Son of the Night is the older Dawn's Wolf, if only one year older than the Fist of Dawn. Blagovest was recruited on Terra, like much of the Chapter's original recruits, and he can still remember the time of the Great Scouring and the ruins left in the wake of Horus' assault on Holy Terra. This hardened veteran is only a Dawn Fang for he has always refused promotion to the rank of veterans and then Greyshields. He favoured his duty as a Reiver and the solitude it affords him. Indeed, even the brotherhood of the Primaris is at time to smothering for him to endure, and he then stalks the vast corridors of his Chapter's fleet for months.

Despite a grim, cold and aggressive personality, the Nightson is always ready to teach "young cubs" how to be a proper Dawn's Wolf. Serving in the Grand Company of Ayur Redmane, he is seen with awe by the newly inducted Dusk Claws and his stories are held in high esteem by all. Blagovest Nightson is, by himself, the very reason Redmane's Company is the most adept at ambush and sudden brutal assaults, which sow terror in the hearts of the Dawn's Wolves enemies.
