In a way, Sevatar is an anomaly among the Night Lords. Night Lords are cowardly by Space Marine standards. They prey upon the weak and flee when strong foes face them. They enjoy torment, but do not fight fairly. They are not known for their martial prowess, innate stubbornness, or extreme precision. Yet, to be able to face the greatest swordsman in the Legiones Astartes and fight him to a standstill, one would need a good deal of all of these traits. Perhaps that's why Sevatar was the Night Lords' last great First Captain.

[@RobouteGuilliman-M41]

I disagree. Cowards are PUNKS like the Space Wolves, who revel in murdering unarmed civilians, simply because they have the power to murder them, and be praised for it, by the CORPSE EMPEROR; and you think Jago was the only great Night Lord? I guess that means you don't know who Zso Sahaal is.

[@davidevansolsen8770]

I would say the nightlords fight the way that many are afraid to. Fighting without concern or remorse and being true killers. They are what you fear and keep those in check that would otherwise fall. Being willing to do what the other legions didn't have the stomach to do. So while they are evil, the emperor saw they're purpose as enforcers and deterants.

[@tackjens]

they are like Deathwatch in a way as deathwatch pray on the weak as well aka attacking civilan xenos

[@QuayNemSorr]

They are no more cowards than other marines (And they shall know no fear!). They simply prefer the fights that puts them at an advantage. Honor is nothing to a Night Lord. If there is a risk of defeat they will retreat and bide their time until they can stab their enemy in the back.

What amazes me the most about Jago is his sense of humor. Being a true leader (because Kurze was a leader in genetic way, and Jago was Legion's "life of the party") of a Legion full of psycho superhuman thugs, cutthroats and scumbags and still be capable of joking, especially the way he does it, is fantastic.

[@richardseaton2423]

This dude, while dying to long term complications from a botched brain surgery that he psychically tore open, discovered that a young child had been beaten until her spine broke by her master, for attempting to commune with, and render aid to Jago Sevatar. In response to this, he fights his way to the bridge of the Invincible Reason, the flagship of the Dark Angels chapter and personal vessel of the Lion, without armour, successfully, to slowly garotte said master to death with his own whip. In front of the entire bridge crew, and multiple squads of the pride of the 1st legion. And then just surrenders. The only reason Jago was on the Invincible reason in the first place, was because he rode a Navy fighter-bomber craft through an active legion-scale warzone in space, so he could use it to Dynamic Entry onto the bridge of the Invincible Reason, before accounting for a third of the Dark Angels casualties alone. This dude beat Sigismund in his prime. Before he got Psychic powers to move stupid fast. Dark Eldar tier 'moving too fast for human perception to be anything but teleport' fast. For all his sadisms and pleasure in causing casual torment or trickery, the man was genuinely admirable. Enemy Marines respected him. Night Lords respected him and actually obeyed his orders for the sake of it. He instilled discipline, structure, and order to a Legion that genuinely struggled to do anything they didn't already enjoy doing. When Curze (or anyone else) went on a self-pitying rant or gave excuses for their behavior, Sevatar was always the person to call their bullshit. When Curze was being useless and letting the legion die, Sevatar took over and almost singlehandedly saved it. He's almost a Ciaphas Cain figure, for an Astartes. He's both mighty as a warrior, and admirable as a person, while never trying to showcase his abilities to to others, and never really thinking much about being admirable.

[@domc9801]

He didn’t really beat Sigismund, in his eyes it was a win but he cheated stating he never said he’d agreed to the rules, they fought all day and he may have been getting annoyed at fighting him for several hours or found cheating was the only way to break the deadlock, he is one the best but he HAD to cheat to get that “win”, it’d be a longer stalemate. And yes I love Sigi but I’m not gonna discredit or say Sevatar was bad(outside of night lord standards) but I won’t say it goes to Sigismund either for he in that same vein “lost” to a illegal head butt but it was in a oddly good spirit. Sevatar was the best of any Night Lord as Khorne was to the World Eaters both in body and mind, which places him above his primarch in my opinion.

[@Channel-23s]

@@domc9801 yes and no as you must always be ready for anything legal and illegal but he was impatient and couldn’t see a way to beat Sigi with skill or power

Servetarion the only knightlord who wasn't cooked (well not as bad). My favorite story of Servetarion was when he was in jail he befriended a girl and when he found out she was beaten, he snuck out and killed the jailer.

[@nhienleminhhue6605]

Then he turned himself up to the dark Angels. Such a chad.

I think it was a dark angels priest who crippled her for doing something nice for our boy Sev. And so he gave that priest a just visit. Hahahah

He held back enough of his strength so the man would strangle to death slowly rather than from a quick, broken neck.

[@QuayNemSorr]

One of my favorite characters. I really hope he is still alive somewhere and may resurface some day.

[@coltonstergue7079]

In my headcanon I want to think that Sevatarion went so mad that he became a loyalist and after proving that he was telling the truth (probably with some psyker BS idk) he goes on to found the Carcharodons Chapter by using loyalist nightlords, their Geen-seed characteristics match up with the Nightlords and their founder is known as the "Forgotten one". The reason the space sharks roam the void is for Atonement for betraying the imperium during the Horus Heresy or at least that would be a dame good reason as to why they are out there.

[@bradsimpson8724]

I mean, it flies in the face of basically all the established lore, but it's not a bad story.

[@ElenaWraithSevatarion]

[@henrygann6738]

​@@WeepingAngel04 I think it is semi official that the Chief Librarian of the Night Lords founded the 8th brotherhood of the Grey knights. He was Terran born, I can't remember his name.

[@gamechanger8908]

That would be an epic conclusion for Sevatarion.

[@Ofley_Adventures]

A carrion lord, who even champions feared. A warrior and weapon of unequal dreadful renown, amounted to what? A child of darkness death-marked, for his unavoidable actions.

[@connorsmith1005]

What hurts most are the moments after Jago's death, when Curze asks where he is or speaks to Sev like he's still by the Primarch's side.

[@doge7906]

Its very possible he hasn't because condrad had foresight so maybe the reason for why he thought he was still alive was because he is actually alive and Conrad saw it in a vision

Nice to see the Night Lord astartes from Death of Hope being used in this upload. That short is so underrated it maddens me.

Fun fact, the Ultramarines stole the idea of painting their armour red as a sign of sensor. In 30k the ultramarines would paint their helms red, like the Nightlords would their hands. Then during the HH that sign became a symbol of leadership after the battle of Calth.

[@gamechanger8908]

I thought the Ultramarines painted their helmet red to mark themselves as a Sergeant and to honor Aeonid Thiel, since Thiel a sergeant during the Horus Heresy painted his red to distinguish himself from his brothers. While the Nightlords painted their gauntlets red when they have considered themselves guilty in the eyes of Curze.

[@Dustbinlid1]

@@gamechanger8908 In Know No Fear, we are told that the Red helm is a sign of sensor. The Marine in question was caught doing theoreticals on Marine vs Marine combat, a big no no. After Calth though, because of the actions of the marine the red helm is seen as a sign of distrinction as you mentioned. In Prince of Crows, Sevetar is thinking about his red gloves and he notes how the Ultramarines have adopted the custom but paint the helms not the gloves. He also notes that for the Ultramarines it's just a sign of sensor, but for the Nightlords it's a literal death sentence and the marine is just waiting for the execution to happen.

I'm kind of new to this whole Warhammer 40K but I've come across some interesting Lord involving this guy. Apparently after his return to Tera he was solely held responsible for the betrayal of his entire chapter, despite the fact that yes he did turn traitor he then turned back to a loyalist. After finding him guilty they put him in the great jails underneath the imperial Palace for 10,000 years until his body gave out, after which the highlights of terror thought that death was too easy of a release for him so they decided to lock him in a dreadnought body that has no weapons. This gave rise to another legend called The legend of the anchorite, the very same anchorite that when an attack on the imperial Palace was caused by forces of chaos, and they weren't just there to kill the emperor they were actually there for him. Upon coming close enough to his cell that cannot be open except for five lock wardens or the emperor himself, that door swung open and he walked out in his new dreadnought body and laid waste to all chaos forces in front of him. He's still alive He's just not caught savitar anymore, he's only known as the anchor right now, the great steel century of the emperor.

[@positivepaul8956]

The anchorite was a word bearer, he is responsible for the formation of the ecclesiarchy.

[@attemptedunkindness3632]

On the subject: What I mean to say is what Corax said; I am what I always am. He is not a Daemon anymore than he was rightfully correct when Conrad confronted Corax over killing Lorgar. "Look into my eyes, and see your death" Both being black-eyed Primarchs, both Conrad and Corax would of known that they only saw reflections of eachother. TLDR: Corax is not Warp corrupted, this is fan canon.

One of the most interesting things about the Night Lords is their outright rejection of the ruinous powers and all that entails like demonic possession and "gifts" and so on, given how violent and malicious they were pre-heresy, I think as they inevitably get new lore that should be doubled down on, it really sets them apart
