Valien Torin

Void Lord Valien Torin was the Chapter Master of the Void Ravens Space Marine Chapter during the latter centuries of M37, and launched more Crusades than any Void Lord before, or since.

Background
Valien Torin was the leader of the Chapter from 500-836.M37. During his tenure, the Void Ravens launched more Crusades than ever before or since, for Valien wanted to atone for what he saw as the rampant corruption taking place in his Chapter. He willingly led his brethren against foul xenos and the most atrocious of heretics, so the urges of the Void Ravens would not drive them away from the light of the Emperor. He took the opportunity of the decade-long Occlusiad War to do battle with the forces of the Blind King at all costs, making a solemn oath that he would see the end of every Apostle serving this great heretic, an oath which cost the Chapter dozens of lives. Once this war was over, he gathered whatever force he could still muster and sent it against other dangerous foes, far beyond Imperial borders. When Torin finally died in action, the Void Ravens had been reduced to less than 200 Battle-Brothers and they took centuries to replenish themselves, being believed lost in space during that time.
