===Company Information===
*The '''1st Company''', known as the '''Blackwings'''. the 1st Company are the mightiest warriors of the Raven Guard known for their mastery of assassination. Besides standard [[Terminator Armour]], they are given access to the best stealth wargear in the Chapter and thus many don [[Phobos Armour]]. Terminators are only deployed against the staunchest resistance. Similarly, they often utilize swift gunships than heavily armored ground vehicles. Besides their combat duty, they guard the [[Forbidden Apothecarion]] of the [[Ravenspire]] on [[Deliverance]]'s Farmoon Night.{{Fn|44d}}
*The '''2nd Company''', known as the '''Shadowborne'''. These are the Raven Guard's preeminent assassins. To join their number, one must prove their worth in the Trifold Path of Shadow and able to both sense their foe's movements and most inhibiting conditions. They are experts in wearing shadows as their skin and moving in complete silence. The 2nd Company makes extensive use of [[Vanguard Infiltrator|Infiltrator]]s and [[Reiver]] Squads to compromise enemy positions ahead of heavier onslaught, disrupting communications and sabotaging key targets. The 2nd is unique in that it operates a [[Vanguard Space Marine]] formation alongside the standard Vanguard squads of the 10th.{{Fn|44d}}
*The '''3rd Company''', known as the '''Ghoststalkers'''. Less subtle than most of their brethren, the 3rd uses sudden and overwhelming force to silence their foe. Of Corax's Trifold Path of Shadows, the 3rd strives for mastery of the Path of Ambush. . As such, their engagements utilize fast-moving squads which can encircle and eradicate enemy forces one portion at a time, always withdrawing to strike elsewhere before the enemy’s inevitable counter-blows land. Jump troops, [[Land Speeder]]s and [[Bike]] Squads are traditional mainstays of the 3rd Company, supported by precision Drop Pod assaults. The 3rd rarely takes to the field together, but when they do they engage in fierce and audacious assaults that have nonetheless left them somewhat understrength. However, it is notable that more Shadow Captains from the Ghoststalkers have ascended to lead the Chapter as Master of Shadows than those from any other company.{{Fn|44d}}
