→The Fated
==The Fated==
The blood Ravens 5th company is known as the 'Fated', and though the reasons for this are unclear, it may hark back to an incident recorded in th annals of the chapters librarium, but never spoken of openly. The 5th company of M38 are recorded as having been lost in the warp, but the truth of the matter is far darker. It is whispered that one of the company librarians was seduced by the lure of the ruinous powers and turned his brethren to evil. though of course this notion is dismissed by the chapter today. No records exsit as to the ulimate fate of this company or wether such a tratior was ever brought to justice. The blood ravems have an especial hatred of for those who turn from the Emperor's light, and to this day, the space marines of the 5th company wear the badges of shame and penitence upon their armour, though none will reveal reason for this.
==Beliefs==
As part of their obsessive hunt for knowledge and the secrets of their origins, the Blood Ravens are known to seek out sites of lost artefacts and ancient significance to deny what they hold to the Enemy. The Blood Ravens rely heavily on their Librarians to keep the secret arch in order and compile new records, but just as important as their custodial tasks is their duty to seek out new information to bolster the archives and guide the Chapter in its quest for knowledge.
