Ruven
Ruven was a Sorcerer of the Night Lords and later Black Legion.[1]
Originally serving in the Night Lords 10th Company with the rest of what would become First Claw, he eventually developed psychic abilities and fell to the corrupting influence of Chaos. He later joined Abaddon's Black Legion, becoming a prominent Sorcerer to the Warmaster.[1]
Ruven reunited with First Claw shortly before the Thirteenth Black Crusade, where after the Battle of Solace he orchestrated a plan alongside Abaddon to corrupt Talos Valcoran by having him tempted by the four Gods of Chaos. However the plan failed, and Talos swore revenge on Ruven after his minions nearly killed his slaves Septimus and Octavia.[1] Banished from the Black Legion due to his failure, Ruven later reappeared captured by the Red Corsairs but was able to escape with First Claw aboard the Echo of Damnation. However upon taking control of The Exalted's warband, Talos followed up on his earlier vow to kill Ruven and struck him down with his Power Sword.[2]
