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}}
==History==
The Atramentar were the finest warriors within the Legion with the best level of wargear and training. However while more disciplined than most Night Lords, they nonetheless had a fractious and rebellious streak. Thus only the strongest and most capable of leaders was able to command the Atramentar and earn their respect, something [[Sevatar]] eventually achieved. Unusually for many [[Space Marine Honour Guard]]s, the Atramentar swore loyalty to Sevatar instead of their legion or even [[Konrad Curze|their primarch]]. But despite their difficult nature, Atramentar were superb shock troops when properly deployed.{{Fn|4}}
During the [[Thramas Crusade]] the [[Night Lords]] [[Primarch]] [[Konrad Curze]] teleported across to the [[Dark Angels]] 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.
