Alastor Rushal, known as The Raven, was a member of the Night Lords during the Horus Heresy.[1]
Biography
Originally a member of the Raven Guard, Rushal either defected to the Night Lords or was captured by them after the events of the Drop Site Massacre.[1] Regardless of the circumstances of his defection, he ultimately sided with his traitorous cousins to ensure his own survival.[3]
Before allowing him into their ranks, the Night Lords subjected him to torture and removed his tongue. Still wearing the armour of the Raven Guard, Rushal became a high-ranking member of the Legion and a member of the Kyroptera despite commanding no forces of his own. Rushal became a close ally to Sevatar in the power struggle that erupted within the Night Lords following Konrad Curze's crippling in the Thramas Crusade.[1]
