*[[Thorion]] - Served as an Atramentar Commander during the [[Thramas Crusade]]{{Fn|1a}}
no edit summary
The '''Atramentar''' were the elite of the [[Night Lords]] [[Space Marine Legion]] who were equipped with [[Terminator Armour]] and formed the First Company under [[First Captain]] [[Jago Sevatarion]].{{Fn|1a}} {{Fn|1b}} {{Fn|1c}} During the Thramas Crusade the [[Night Lords]] [[Primarch]] [[Konrad Curze]] teleported across to the [[Dark Angel]] flagship ''Invincible Reason'' to exact revenge on the Dark Angels Primarch [[Lion El'Jonson]] and ordered [[Sevatar]] to take the Atramentar and join him. {{Fn|1a}} Sevatar complied and 100 of the Atramentar attacked the Invincible Reason initially making strong progress until the Dark Angels fought back {{Fn|1e}}, eventually Curze retreated but by that time the Atramentar had suffered heavy losses.
Following his death of [[Sevatar]], the Atramentar largely dissolved rather than follow [[Zso Sahaal]] who succeeded Sevatar as the First Captain. Some, like [[Apothecary]] [[Talos Valcoran]], put this down to Sahaal not being a Nostraman, but according to the Atramentar asked by [[Mercutian]], a member of [[First Claw]], 10th Company, it was mostly because the Atramentar felt no one could live up to Sevatar's reputation and he had formed the Atramentar into the brotherhood they were.{{Fn|2a2}}
