Changes

Sammael's promotion to his current office came more than a century ago during the [[Kapua 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]]{{Fn|1}} (occured in 465.[[M41]]){{Fn|4}} 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}}

Sammael took part in the attempt to aid the inhabitants of the [[Gehöft]] during the Gehöft [[Daemonic]] incursion. Although his Dark Angels and theirs allies of the [[White Scars]] and [[Brindelweld]] [[Imperial Guard]]s valiantly fought the [[Nurgle]] daemons, [[Blighted Claw]] [[Chaos Space Marines]] and [[Plague Zombies]], the planet was lost and declared [[Exterminatus]]. It is rumoured that Sammael pursued on the planet his own goal though.{{Fn|2}}
