'''Sammael''' is the present and 348th [[Master of the Ravenwing]]{{Fn|1}}, the 2nd company of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marines]] [[Chapter]]. He is the youngest Dark Angel to ever be inducted into the Ravenwing.{{Fn|3}}
== History ==
Originally serving in the 8th Company as an [[Assault Marine]], Sammael was chosen for induction into the [[Ravenwing]] by its Master [[Gideon]] due to his skill. After many great accomplishments against [[Orks]], Traitors, and [[Eldar Pirate]]s, Sammael fought alongside Gideon in their brief encounter with the arch-foe of the [[Dark Angels]], [[The Fallen]], on [[Kaphon Betis]]. There Gideon nearly encountered [[Cypher]] before the Fallen Angel again eluded the Dark Angels grasp. After the battle Sammael took several prisoners from pro-[[Xenos]] cults and learned of Cypher, and with this revelation Gideon unofficially inducted him into the [[Inner Circle]].{{Fn|3}} Sammael's promotion to his current office came more than a century ago. As during the previous master of the Ravenwing, [[GideonKapua Uprising]], . As Gideon lay dying after an attack by the [[Chaos]] [[Reaver Titan]] ''Traitorous Ire'', the old master declared Sammael to succeed him. Sammael then took up Gideon's mantle and oversaw the destruction of the Traitor Titan.{{Fn|3}} Sammael's first action as master of the Ravenwing came as he led his company in the invasion of [[Rastabal]] and led 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]].{{Fn|1}}
Known to be as bold as he is reckless, Sammael's audacity is well-noted. Nonetheless, 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|1}} In battle he has access to ''[[Corvex]]'', the only known remaining [[Imperial Jetbike]], but sometimes also rides a [[Land Speeder]] known as ''[[Sableclaw]]''.{{Fn|1}}
