The '''Knights of the Raven''' are a [[Codex Chapter]].{{Fn|2}}
==BackgroundOverview==
The Knights of the Raven have a mysterious background, with only a scant few details known about them within the ranks of the [[Adeptus Astartes]], [[Deathwatch]], and the [[Inquisition]].{{Fn|2}} When they do fight alongside other Imperial forces, the Chapter communicates only when necessary and use their own cryptic battle tongue amongst themselves.{{Fn|11}}
Due only to the coincidence of similar iconography and title, the Knights of the Raven are assumed to be a chapter founded during a [[Later Founding]] using [[Raven Guard]] gene-stock in the latter half of [[M38]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|7}} In [[M42]] [[Chapter Master]] [[Kayvaan Shrike|Shrike]] referred to the Knights of the Raven, as the Brothers of the Raven Guard.{{Fn|12b}}
===Notable Engagements===
*At some point, the Knights of the Raven came to blows with Astartes from the [[Aurora Chapter]] regarding [[Chaplain]] [[Givus]] of the Knights of the Raven's 2nd company. Givus was accused of cultivating superstition and fanaticism on the [[Aurora Chapter]]'s feudal home world.{{Fn|8}} [[Marneus Calgar]] of the [[Ultramarines]] had to intervene in order to end the conflict. As penance, the Knights of the Raven Chapter is currently engaged in an arduous deployment of hit-and-run attacks against [[Hive Fleet Kraken]].{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|8}} One of the worlds saved in these attacks was the [[Death World]] [[Vallyx V]].{{Fn|10}}
*[[War Zone: Aberrus]]: The Knights of Raven were among the Imperial forces that responded to a [[Tyranid]] incursion into the [[Aberrus System]]. They primarily fought to secure the planet [[Glacemaw]].{{Fn|16}}
*[[Fourth Tyrannic War]]: The Knights of the Raven wage a guerrilla war against the [[Tyranids]].{{Fn|15}}
==Notable Chapter Elements=====Known Vehicles===*''[[Might of Coralax]]'' — [[Repulsor Executioner]].{{Fn|16}} ===Knwon Members===

Assigned by [[Chapter Master]] [[Kayvaan Shrike]] of the Raven Guard, along with three members of that Chapter (Shadow Captains [[Aevar Qeld|Qeld]] and [[Illith]] and [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Artarix]]) to reform the [[Mor Deythan]]. Their first mission is to assassinate the [[Alpha Legion]] [[Chaos Lord|Warlord]] [[Mazik the Unfixed|Mazik]].{{Fn|12a}} Notably, like the other three Marines assigned to this task, Mordren was capable of Shadow Walking, lending further evidence that the Knights of the Raven are indeed a Raven Guard Successor Chapter.
