'''Raelyn Castivar''' is a [[Blood Angels]] [[Deathwatch]] member of the [[Watch Fortress]] [[Keep Extremis]] and is part of [[Kill Team Mordelai]].{{Fn|1b}}==History==He is a veteran combat specialist with a murderous short temper and a near-psychotic focus. The [[Blood Angel]]'s [[power sword]] has also claimed the heads of countless [[Xenos]] and Castivar has risen to become one of [[Keep Extremis]]' heroes. He was present when the [[Great Rift]]'s creation placed the [[Watch Fortress]] within the [[Imperium Nihilus]] and it became repeatedly attacked by [[Traitor]]s. Though Castivar and his Deathwatch [[Battle Brothers]] successfully drove off all of the attacks, they suffered substantial casualties in doing so. However when Keep Extremis later received distress calls from [[Vigilus]], during the [[War of Beasts]],{{Fn|1b}} [[Watch Captain]] [[Tannister]] was sent to aid the [[Imperial]] world,{{Fn|1d}} with a [[Watch Company]] aboard the [[Strike Cruiser]] ''[[Remorseless]]''. It was in the process of forming the Company, that [[Watch Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Titus Mordelai]]'s [[Kill Team Mordelai]] was formed, from the survivors of the most badly mauled Kill Teams. One of Mordelai's members was Castivar's close comrade [[Ordis K'vane]], of the [[Taurans]] [[Chapter]], and they both fought well with each other. While the Blood Angel would charge into his foes, the Tauran followed in Castivar's wake and gunned down anyone who threatened his flanks or rear. However the two would form a quick bond with the others members of Kill Team Mordelai as well, due to all of them losing comrades during the defense of Keep Extremis and now having desire to claim vengeance.{{Fn|1b}}

By the time they reached [[Vigilus]], [[Kill Team Mordelai]] was ready to fight together.{{Fn|1b}} However as soon as the [[Strike Cruiser]] arrived there, the ''[[Remorseless]] '' received distress calls from across the [[Vigilus System]]. [[Watch Captain|Captain]] [[Tannister]] reacted to this new development by splitting his [[Watch Company]] into its individual [[Kill-Team]]s and sending them to answer each distress call. Kill Team Mordelai would not fight on Vigilus and was instead dispatched to aid the settlement of '''Vain Hope''' on [[Falsehood (World)|Falsehood]]. They deployed on the [[Death World]] via the [[Corvus Blackstar]] ''[[Alien's Bane (Corvus Blackstar)|Alien's Bane]] '' and sought to set up ambush points to attack the [[Drukhari]] that were raiding the settlement. This would be ruined, however, after the Kill Team was set upon by a giant creature known as a [[Carnivosaur]]. Though they were victorious, the Kill Team's battle drew a group of Drukhari to their location, which quickly fell upon them.{{Fn|1d}} In their ensuing attack, the Xenos struck [[Ordis K'vane|K'vane]] and this sent the Kill Team into a rage. None more so than Castivar, as the sight of his comrade being wounded led him to charge into the Drukhari. Though [[Watch Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Titus Mordelai|Mordelai]] ordered the [[Blood Angel]] to stop, Castivar refused and clashed with the Drukhari's [[Hekatrix]] leader. While he managed to kill the Xenos, it was not before the Blood Angel was poisoned with a deadly nerve-toxin.{{Fn|1a}}
Despite this, Castivar claimed he was fine{{Fn|1a}} and the [[Drukhari]] were all killed, except for one taken prisoner by [[Watch Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Titus Mordelai|Mordelai]]. The Sergeant then extracted the location of one of the [[Xenos]]' encampments from the captured Drukhari, and the [[Kill-Team]] moved to attack and destroy it. However , just as they were about to, Castivar found himself unable to fight due to the effects of the [[Hekatrix]]'s nerve-toxin. The rest of Kill Team Mordelai continued with the attack, though, and they were able to destroy the Drukhari encampment, with the aid of the ''[[Alien's Bane (Corvus Blackstar)|Alien's Bane]]'s '' firepower.{{Fn|1d}}
