'''Sammael''' is the present and 348th [[Master of the Ravenwing]]{{Fn|1}}, the 2nd company of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marines]] [[Chapter]]. He is the youngest Dark Angel to ever be inducted into the Ravenwing.{{Fn|3}}

Originally serving in the [[8th Company (Dark Angels)|8th Company]] as an [[Assault Marine]], Sammael was chosen for induction into the [[Ravenwing]] by its Master [[Gideon]] due to his skill. After many great accomplishments against [[Orks]], Traitors, and [[Eldar Pirate]]s, Sammael fought alongside Gideon in their brief encounter with the arch-foe of the [[Dark Angels]], [[The Fallen]], on [[Kaphon Betis]]. There Gideon nearly encountered [[Cypher]] before the Fallen Angel again eluded the Dark Angels grasp. After the battle Sammael took several prisoners from pro-[[Xenos]] cults and learned of Cypher, and with this revelation Gideon unofficially inducted him into the [[Inner Circle]].{{Fn|3}}

During the Siege of [[The Rock]] during the [[Arks of Omen Campaign]], {{PAGENAME}} took part in the defense of their Fortress-Monastery against [[Chaos]] forces. During the battle, {{PAGENAME}} acted as fleet commander.{{Fn|6}} Shortly afterwards he took part in the [[Battle of Idolatros]], leading a boarding operation which destroyed the [[Ark of Omen]] ''[[Netherworld Blade]]'' and leading an assault on the [[Wyrmwood]].{{Fn|7}}

*[[Codex: Dark Angels (6th Edition)]] states that Sammael has been the Grand Master of the Ravenwing for over a century, while [[Azrael]] had only just come into his respective rank in 939.M41. However, in short story the ''[[A Hunt in the Dark (Short Story)|A Hunt in the Dark]]'' portrays that Azrael already was Supreme Grand Master at the time of Sammael's promotion.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|9}}
