The Night lords are one of those fascinating legions that differs so much from marine to marine. Especially the three night lord books convey this feeling of comradery but hate for each other and disgust for themselves so well. Probably one of my favorite especially the lack of focus on the Dark gods.

[@enochianwolf]

When you zoomed in on the Isstvaan V Dropsite Massacre I was hoping you would have remarked on Kurze saving Lorgar from Corax, even though I don't know if Sevatar was immediately there it was such a great scene, Corax using his jump pack to escape while Kurze's laughter echoed over the battlefield. Great video man 10/10

[@italianspartacus]

I did in the CURZE video!!! :) I should have remarked how Sevatar spat on the ground in front of Argel Tal, but I think that most of the time.. When Sev isn't part of the focus of the story, other authors really botch writing him and make him too one dimensional.. So I sort of skipped over it Hehehe :)

[@enochianwolf]

[@greg_4201]

Him being unable to easily fall into merth with others and yet being lighthearted and joking all the time is no paradox; I can relate because I myself smile easy, joke more often than not at work and appreciate jokes all the time... but I gradually disconnect and distance from my contemporaries at some point as I continue to refine truth and they seem to stay where they are, reason being they all love lies and use/rely on them to be driven and to be happy. They lie to themselves and each other and consequently never have sight of the bigger picture. I won't compromise with the truth and will not be party to deliberate lies so I end up detatching. Lacking empathy has nothing to do with it either as I relate easily to where people are coming from just as the character Sevatar is a psyker if sorts and feels what others feel... the alienation comes from rejecting lies so as to remain 'aware' and proactive with regards to what needs to be done, just as Sevatar is the only reliable Nightlord; in Prince of Crows he's always the one taking care of business and cares not for petty egos. It's not that he doesn't care about others, it's that a man cannot be LOST in merth, enamoured with lies or overly sensitive of feelings if he is to remain sober and do the right thing. Delusion makes men victims, hence the path of the warrior is the path of truth... Sevatar is therefor the perfect archetype of the warrior. You'll see throughout Prince of Crows, Sevatar never once tells a lie or entertains untruth... He doesn't even lie to men he's plotting to kill, which is extraodinary in a legion who's way of war is so indirect and reliant on suprise... but as with other Dembski-Bowden stories, the paradoxical contrast is only superficial and melts away as the details are revealed; as with the Black Legion who's defining feature is actually loyalty. Aaron Dembski-Bowden has a lot of wisdom and his 40k books are the best of the lot. He's great at using these characters who seem paradoxical in contrast with their legions' extremities to help the reader relate to that legion... in the end that character turns out to be the quintessence of that legion, just in a more humanized, relatable form. It's a genius way of fleshing out and grounding the over-the-top, cartoonish backstories of 40k. Another trope of his is that he ends up making these famed captains the betters and more perfected versions of their repective fathers, which I find fascinating: -Sevatar is genuinely just where his father fell into psychosis and became subjective and arbitrary -Abaddon becomes a real leader where Horus forsook his sons for ambition without even realizing it -Kharn embodies brotherhood where Angron left the concept on Nuceria *By the way I'm a soldier and nearly all the men I know are soldiers, so the way I related Sevatar to my own situation is not really out of context.

[@thorshammer8033]

Page 169 of Konrad. Through loyalty, he would follow Curze a long way down a dark path before he found his way back.

Sevatar has always been my absolute favorite character in this universe. Finally a video that does him justice.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Carpe Noctum. Seize the Night ! Glory to the Eighth Legion. I reckon he was really called the prince of crows because he befrended them and was always surrounded by them when he was a street urchin in City's Edge.

[@italianspartacus]

You're so welcome!

[@Nyctophora]

For a long time now I'd had a bit of a difficulty reconciling the fact that Sevatar was going to all that trouble and risk to speak to his Primarch in his mind only to end up insulting and belittling him - it didn't make sense to me. Thank you for pointing out the idea that Sev was deliberately trying to goad him into action, because that had completely passed me by. It makes a lot more sense now :)

[@ashsmith8358]

That was epic! Night lords are my favorite legion

[@anarchistjkd3382]

[@bobloerakker7010]

The nightlords and curze could have been such an awesome force of justice, perfect and balanced in their judgment and relentless in the execution. It makes me sad to think about all that potential wasted..fucking chaos, i hate it. But that is what makes it such a good read. The tragicness of it all.

Definitely pronounced Jago, not Yahgo (English pronunciation vs Germanic) in the Prince of Crows audiobook. Incidentally, that audiobook also has by far my favorite voice for Konrad Curze as well.

[@andrewwilliams2014]

Sevetar is actually now belived to have founded the charcharadons chapter that operate in the ghoul worlds at the rim. They share shockingly similar tactics and bear the same black orbs for eyes. So again rumor But he may indeed become "loyalist" in his own way on the fringe of the empire far fro. Scrutiny

[@boxsmasher200000]

Again. Great vid. I also concur. How they did that. I was like. He is a Nightlord. He would go nuts. And then bang! Said done. Its over. That was a huge let down on thier story telling.

How do you not mention how Sevatar got on board the Dark Angels ship by hanging on to a fucking space fighter? As far as his current whereabouts he's probably dead. But I personally hope he's currently held prisoner at the Rock and will eventually escape and unite the Night Lords so they can really start to stain the galaxy red.

I want them to do the story where the nightlords go after the Eldar who are near the eye of terror and in the trilogy came to kill talos to stop the night where the nightlords literally will destroy the craftworld as Decimus mentions at the end of the last book. I've not read the siege of terra books yet so don't know does sevetar show up at the seige of terra or not cos if mot then the last I know he was a prisoner of the Ultramarines on Mcragge

[@italianspartacus]

I can't remember.. I think the last anyone sees of him is in the short story, "Prince of Crows"

[@motleyrocker4938]

So wait, is he still alive but believed to be dead by the Night Lords and Imperium? Awesome video as always!

[@gabemamede5793]

ITALIANSPARTICUS the audio book is correct in pronouncing it Jago the way you indicated initially. The origin means supplanter/userper

[@gabemamede5793]

It's pronounced Yah-go in Spanish but it's route origin is Hebrew however it's also an alternative short form for Jacob in the UK so it is like pronounced Jay-go

[@MrKevmomoney]

I would pronounce the planet Tsagualsa as Tsa-Gool-sa cause it sounds more Ghoulie and dark like the VIII legion.

[@kaseoneZEF]

Loved the video and the character.. But the nighthaunter died during the heresy right? Killed by the assassin. I don't get how he would have mourned sev? Or was it after the failed siege of terra etc that this happened? I know there are visions of kurz in the night lords trilogy being all confused with events but I presumed they were weird visions.. Surely with the night lords being the first to land on the walls of the palace youd think kurz would have been involved somewhat? Unless he was still floating about the void in the coffin sanguinius trapped him in.. I'm confused on the timeline hana

[@italianspartacus]

He died after the Heresy in the 32nd or 33rd Millennium I think it was :).. He was still in the void. The Night Lords at Terra was only one sixth of the Legion

[@mutegrab666]

He allowed himself to be killed by the imperial assassin M'shen, after the heresy was already over.

i have never listened to the audi books, but from reading i always thought it was pronounced yago rather than jago. favourite character in the 40k universe and if what was said in the curze novel he didnt die at terra so will be interesting to see what they do with the character. i know the rumours around him being a found for the knights but i prefer him to be the founder for the charcharadons. :)

Their is a argument that he is the best in close combat, 1 on 1. But there are many ways to slay a enemy in 30k. Not just brute force. Lemon beat a suped up horris, if he wanted to i think he could have beat angron.
