History
Besieged during one battle on the world of Astagar, Corvo and his men held out for six days, before managing to destroy a traitor Warlord Titan and break out. For this act, Corvo was decorated by his Primarch Roboute Guilliman[5] and this decoration would later become a sacred relic to the Novamarines, where it is kept in their Fortress-Monastery.[1]
Corvo is known to have commanded Ultramarines forces during the Battle of Sotha during the Heresy, commanding the 199th Company.[2]
Post-Heresy
After becoming the Chapter Master of the Novamarines, Corvo took part in the Battle of Thessala, during which Roboute Guilliman was mortally wounded by his brother Fulgrim.[3]
