The Shadow Scourges renegade but loyal chapter descended from the fallen Gorgon - Ferrus Manus - and the Iron Hands Legion. The Shadow Scourges have a troubled and mislead past present and future. Raised in the 23rd "Sentinel" Founding under the Chapter Master (TBD) in a desperate time for the Imperium to replace lost Astartes chapters the sudden appearance of such a veteran Astarte seeking glory in his legions name seemed like the perfect choice for a new chapter master to lead a new chapter in guarding the fringes of the Imperium or so it was made to seem.
Chapter History[]
Horus Heresy[]
Much of the Chapters beginnings are rooted long before the Shadow Scourges actual formation and Chapter Master (TBD) Tormented past in the Horus Heresy.
(TBD) Was a Centurion of the Iron Hands 3rd Company during the Dropsite Massacre. (TBD)'s force managed to fight their way towards Ferrus Manus during his duel with Fulgrim only to witness the Viper decapitate the Gorgon. The light that burst from Ferrus announcing his death to all was so bright it blew (TBD) back forcing him into a crevasse and knocking him unconscious When he awoke the battle was over only small pockets of stubborn loyalists made a brave but futile attempt to survive. But (TBD) Could not see anything he assumed his visor must be damaged but after removing his helmet there was no change, the light of Ferrus's death had rendered him blind. Never the less (TBD)s fight was not over, he got up and slowly climbed his way across the corpses of traitor and loyalist Astartes alike he wasn't sure of his objective he just had to do something. It didn't take long for him to be found by a small group of traitor's Emperors Children....
The Children tormented the blind Centurion poking and prodding at him with swords shooting their bolters around his feet pushing and whispering. the torment went on for hours but even a blind child of Ferrus is not to be underestimated as one of Fulgrims sons found out why he lingered in range of (TBD)'s power mace for too long and found his chest plate caved in and a follow up smash to his head to finish him off once down. The traitors would not stand for this stain upon their perfection and decided the Centurions time was up, but as they came in for the finishing blows a hail of bolter fire screamed all around the (TBD) a skirmish broke out around him and the traitors seemed to forget all about him until an explosion took the Centurion off his feet again and (TBD) Could tell he'd lost more than his eyesight. (TBD) Was dragged hoisted up to shouts of "Get up we need to move" (TBD) almost took the Marines arm off assuming this to be another torment. A clear voice broke through the deafening noise "Calm Brother we are Raven Guard were getting out of here" (TBD) only managed to stay awake a few more moments before losing consciousness.
(TBD) Was brought aboard a small Raven Guard cruiser where he underwent extensive surgeries. Many of (TBD) Organs and limbs had to be replaced with bionic parts just to keep him alive. (TBD) Remained conscious a few days, he discovered that the small Raven Guard element had managed to rescue a small number of his fellow Sons of Iron and 2 of the Salamanders. How they managed to pull this off the Ravens were very light on detail. The Raven Guard seemed very off, lost with no clear path ahead. At 1st this seemed normal given what had just happened. Days later a lone Raven came to (TBD) and informed him one of his new bionic organs were failing and he would have to be put into stasis with the other injured Hands until they could find a replacement but he needed to hear the truth first, he gave a horrifying story that began the stain on the future chapters history. The Raven explained how they were a small contingent who found out the purpose of Istvaan 4 and that their Primarch Corvus Corax had secretly joined up with the traitors and deployed to bait Vulkan and Ferrus to their deaths. How else was Corvus able to make such an escape and be allowed to leave the system aboard his ship? Yet Ferrus was left alone to push on and Face Fulgrim and the Salamanders annihilated where they stood along their Primarch.
A story was spun of how after Fulgrim was unable to Sway Ferrus to the traitors side Horus was afraid of Ferrus's ruthless strategic influence would impact his rebellion so Corvus was assigned to help Ferrus's reach his aim of slaying the the traitor Fulgrim and slip into the shadows ensuring his demise. The contingent of Raven Guard decided to play along with the plan but upon dropping made a desperate attempt to reach Ferrus and warn him but were too late and began saving as many Hands and Salamanders as they could. Using their guise of traitor smuggle the survivors to orbit. A great vengeance was sworn against the traitors Fulgrim and Corax for their crimes against the Gorgon that day.
This is a lie.
