Chapter Master Carab Culln is the current High Lord Commander of the Red Scorpions Chapter. He is known throughout the Imperium as a deft tactician as well as a proud and courageous individual, traits which made him perfectly suited to the role of the Red Scorpions Lord High Commander. Like all Red Scorpions he is extremely wary of abhumans, mutants and anything else deviating from the pure human form.

History
Carab Culln was inducted into the Red Scorpions from the primitive planet known as Zaebus Minoris.
Culln, like all Space Marines, started his Imperial life as a Scout, quickly rising through all possible ranks and eventually being made Captain of the 1st company after the death of Commander Usaml on the Space Hulk Vulgator. Before this he served as Sergeant of the Vanguard and then as the Sergeant of the 1st Company Veteran Terminators. Culln was raised to the position of Chapter Master during the Badab War when Verant Ortys was slain in the infamous "Betrayal at Grief" incident4a. Culln also dislikes the use of camouflage feeling that it is a form of cowardice and so treats the tenth company with disdain4b.
The Anphelion Project
Culln took command of the Red Scorpions mission on the fourth moon of Beta-Anphelion. His actions during this mission (namely evacuating only the red scorpions accompanying him and leaving Inquisitor Solomon Lok to die fighting Tyranids) has earned him ire amongst some factions of the Ordo Xenos.
The Badab War
After becoming Chapter Master, Culln also became commander of the loyalist forces where he proved to be a deft strategist, able to utilise the unique skills and strategies of the various chapters under his command. Culln refused to hide his presence and personally led several key assaults during the campaign, including the attack on Angstrom XIII4a
