The Shadow Master: Kayvaan Shrike
In a grim darkness, where the light of hope seems lost, there exists a legendary figure, feared by his enemies and revered by those he has saved. Kayvaan Shrike, the current Master of Shadows of the Raven Guard, is a name whispered in awe throughout the galaxy.
From Humble Beginnings
Born on the unforgiving world of Kiavahr, Shrike’s early life was marked by hardship and violence. As a youth, he survived by his wits and cunning, eventually attracting the attention of the Raven Guard Chaplains. Recognizing his potential, they took him in and trained him as a Space Marine.
Rise to Prominence
Shrike’s ascension through the ranks was swift and decisive. He proved himself to be a master of guerrilla warfare, leading his company in daring raids behind enemy lines. His exploits during the Targus VIII campaign against Waaagh! Skullkrak earned him widespread acclaim, and he became known as a hero of the Imperium.
The Hunt for Voldorius
When the Daemon Prince Kernax Voldorius corrupted the Imperial forces on Quintus, Shrike joined forces with Captain Kor’sarro Khan of the White Scars to bring the traitor to justice. Their uneasy alliance ultimately led to victory, and Shrike fought alongside Khan to defeat the Daemon Prince in close combat.
A New Era
With the Great Rift tearing the galaxy asunder, Shrike underwent the Rubicon Primaris, becoming a Primaris Space Marine of the Vanguard variety. As the new Chapter Master of the Raven Guard, he continues to wage war against the enemies of the Imperium, ever vigilant and always prepared to strike from the shadows.
Wargear and Tactics
Shrike’s arsenal includes his trusty Bolt pistol, Blackout, and the Raven’s Talons, an ancient pair of master-crafted Lightning Claws. He is also equipped with a Jump Pack, Frag and Krak grenades, and an Iron Halo. His Phobos Pattern Power armor allows him to move unseen and strike without warning.
