[[Space Marine Captain|Brother-Captain]] '''Corvane Valar''' was [[Shadow Captain|commander]] of the [[Raven Guard]]'s 5th [[Battle Company]] during the [[13th Black Crusade]] and the [[Kathur Reclamation]]. Under his command the Raven Guard deployed half of 5th Company and the [[Strike Cruiser]] ''Second Shadow''. Captain Valar had fought with the [[Notable Cadian Trooper Regiments#Mechanised Formations|Cadian 88th Shock Troops]] during siege of Kasr Vallock{{Fn|1a}}: and formed some sort of personal relationship with its commander, [[Colonel]] [[Josuan Lockwood]].
During the Reclamation he ordered his men to launch a fake assault{{Fn|1b}} on the [[Death Guard]] battleship ''[[Terminus Est]]'', instead of carrying out a boarding action in a futile attempt to delay the destruction of the Imperial fleet in orbit of Kathur. Covered by this fake assault, all Battle-Brothers made planetfall and begin their hit-and-run attacks against advancing Death Guard Traitor Astartes.{{Fn|1c}}
The fate of captain Valar is not clear, but it is highly possible he was slain by [[Typhus]].
