[[Image:SammaelArt.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Sammael battles [[Orks]]{{Fn|21}}]]'''Sammael''' is the present and 348th [[Master of the Ravenwing]]{{Fn|21}}, 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.

NoenthelessNonetheless, his reign as the Ravenwing 's 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|21}} In battle he has access to ''[[Corvex]]'', the only known remaining [[Imperial Jetbike]], but sometimes also rides a [[Land Speeder]] known as ''[[Sableclaw]]''.{{Fn|21}}
