==BackgroundHistory ==The '''Blood Ravens''' are a mysterious [[Chapter]] of [[Space Marine]]s dedicated to the acquisition of knowledge as well as service to the [[Imperium of Man]]. Possessed of powerful [[Librarians]], the Blood Ravens are noted for their ability to predict enemy movements and fall on them with the precise application of force required. Their origins are unknown and a cause of much speculation to themselves and to others.<sup>2d</sup>
