[[Image:Sammael.jpg|thumb|right|none|Master Sammael of the [[Ravenwing]]]]
'''Sammael''' is the present and 348th [[Master of the Ravenwing]]{{Fn|2}}, the 2nd company of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marines]] [[Chapter]]. Sammael's promotion to his current office came more than a century ago. As the previous master of the Ravenwing, [[Gideon]], lay dying after an attack by the [[Chaos]] [[Titan]] ''Traitorous Ire'', the old master declared Sammael to succeed him. Sammael's first action as master of the Ravenwing came as he lead his company in the invasion of [[Rastabal]] and leading assaults on rebel forces during the [[Fourth Quadrant Rebellion]]. He then led the 2nd Company in the war against the [[Ork Empire of Charadon]] in the [[Invasion of Rynn's World]]. After his [[Thunderhawk]] was shot down by Ork forces, Sammael staged the only recorded successful aerial-drop separation maneuver, flying out of the gunship on his jetbike. Known to be as bold as he is reckless, Sammael's audacity is well-noted. Noentheless, his reign as the Ravenwing Master has been unusually long and successful and his boldness has benefited him on numerous occasions, such as dodging between [[Battlesuit]]s to cut the [[Ethereal]] [[Sha Aux'Phan]] in twain.{{Fn|2}} In battle he has access to ''[[Corvex]]'', the only known remaining [[Imperial Jetbike]], but sometimes also rides a [[Land Speeder]] known as ''[[Sableclaw]]''.{{Fn|2}}
