==History==
===Great Crusade===
Jago Sevatarion was born in City's Edge, [[Nostramo Quintus]], more than a century before the Horus Heresy. As a child, he began displaying [[Psyker|psychic powers]]. He was eventually taken into the Night Lords, showing himself to be a fast and deadly warrior. He eventually rose to the post of First Captain and officer of the [[Kyroptera]] (an inner circle of senior Captains). Sevatar suppressed his psychic powers, but Konrad Curze was aware of their existence.{{Fn|5c}} Sevatar had somewhat of a calming influence on Curze, convincing him his gene-father to withdraw during a standoff with [[Corax]] and his [[Raven Guard]] during the [[Carinae Retribution]]. During the campaign Curze stated that the time to draw their brothers blood had not yet come. This perplexed Sevatar, who asked if Curze had forseen a day where such a thing would come to pass. Curze replied that he knew the answer to Sevatar's question as well as how the First Captain was destined to die and would divulge both. Sevatar, not knowing how he would inevitably die, did not raise the issue again.{{Fn|8a}}
During the [[Cheraut]] campaign, Sevatar alongside his subordinate [[Krukesh]] oversaw massacres of the civilian populace which caused tensions with the [[Imperial Fists]] under [[Sigismund]] and [[Fafnir Rann]]. After a heated verbal exchange Sigismund, the Imperial Fist launched a surprise blow which was blocked by the Sevatar. Sigismund and Sevatar subsequently agreed to a duel to end their disputes, with the rule being only blows with weapons were allowed and it would end when one warrior yielded. After a fierce battle, Sevatar violated the rules of the duel by headbutting Sigismund in the face. Though Sevatar forfeited the battle by his act, he stated that he had nonetheless won and Sigismund should always remember there is no honor in war. Though Sigismund judged Sevatar a coward for the way he and his Legion brothers conducted war, he respected his formidable fighting skill as a warrior.{{Fn|10}}
During the destruction of Nostramo, Sevatar agreed with Curze's course of action and saw the entire planetary society as sinners who must be punished. Despite the pleas of [[Shang]], he refused to attempt to convince Curze to halt the planetary bombardment. Shang pointed out for the first time that Curze was going mad, something Sevatar denied. After a heated argument, he condemned Shang as weak but admitted that Curze was becoming more unstable. During the bombardment there were widespread mutinies among both mortals and Space Marines within the Night Lords fleet, and Sevatar and his Atramentar brutally put them down.{{Fn|8b}}
