THE LEADERSHIP OF SEVATAR!

Hey everyone Wolf Lord Rho here!
Today we continue Night Lords week, as we discuss the Leadership of Sevatar. And ask the question, is he the leader the Night Lords need?
Spoiler Warning to begin the events we are discussing today are from the Horus Heresy novella "Prince of Crows" by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. As always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first. As that's the best way to enjoy the lore, for yourself! Not only that we help to support the great Games Workshop and Black Library. Because without them we don't have this amazing lore to talk about! Link: www.blacklibrary.com/the-horu...

Sevetar is living proof that some of the Astartes within the founding legions were better than their Primarchs in terms of being leaders or what their legions needed He was the closest thing the Night Lords had to a semblance of unity and who knows? Maybe under him they would have been something altogether different then they are now

[@stevepickford3004]

Sev was gone and the legion remained. The literal second curze was gone they fell apart. Im a big fan of sev but primarchs are a league apart from astartes

[@Aizen2468]

@@stevepickford3004 yes, sadly, the Primarchs are more than just "stronger Astartes," as some believe. They're actually biologically and genetically engineered to have a DOMINANT and CHARISMATIC power/hold over their legion. Like, a legionaire has to have a strong will to resist its call, and legionaires are predisposed to WANT to serve their primarch. This natural hold/power does not pass on to their Astartes commanders over their underlings. And we've seen that Astartes can be strong willed enough and stubborn enough to actually resist the natural pull of their primarch, such as with Nathaniel, and the Astartes at Istvaan III. But what I'm trying to say is that, I believe it's actually shown to be EXTREMELY difficult for a Non-Primarch to have absolute power and hold over an entire legion of Astartes. Not the typical 1,000 Astartes chapter, but I'm talking a whole legion of Astartes. Abaddon is shown to be quite special in being able to do that, but I'd stay say Horus did it better. And I think Konrad saw how insane his legion was, and this kinda showed that it would be difficult for ANYONE to fully keep them in check for long.

Sevatar returning = nerdgasm Could actually start to flesh out the legions with characters instead of them being just rules.

Ahhh Sevatar, the very reason I love the Night Lords! Give me a series for this man!!! Talos has a special place in my heart, I can only imagine what ADB would do with Sevatar. C'mon Black Library!!

[@craynak]

That would be amazing!

[@cgavin1]

In the short "The Long Night" ADB basically tells us that the Carcharadons are Night Lords. Sevatar thinks of the eyeless shark of Nostramo's dark oceans (the literal heraldry of the Space Sharks). He also talks about where "mankinds real enemies are - in the darkness, beyond the rim." And the final scene where he chooses to pursue justice for Altani rather than escape. Then there's the fact that Curze thinks he's still alive even many years later.

[@mcchicken1849]

Stop me if I am wrong, but aren't the Carcharodons geneseed a mix of both Ravenguard and Nightlord?

[@cgavin1]

@@mcchicken1849 They probably are. There's a Traitor Terran Ravenguard fighting alongside Sevatar in Prince of Crows.. so its likely they "had a baby" at some point. Some of the Atrementar express their unease at having "Ravens" in their midst but Sevatar makes it clear that regardless of what colour their armour is, anyone who fought with them on Istavaan is now a Night Lord (end of). My theory is that Sevatar was somehow released by the DA or escaped (another book there for sure) and took the remaining Atrementar out to the void/rim to pursue his own justice and ran in to the Terran Ravenguard and goodness knows how many other blackshields and splinter elements and they probably merged together at some point. ADB needs to write more books! I don't see Sevetar as ever being loyalist again and he clearly doesn't give a toss about the Imperium or the "cause" of Horus either. He's driven by his own (hard coded) sense of justice ("I am justice! I am judgement! I am punishment!") Also by the end of POC he's established as an immensely powerful precog psyker (the source of his combat skills) and I wouldn't be surprised if Malcador felt his arse twitch somehow..

[@mcchicken1849]

@@cgavin1 That is a pretty interesting theory, I never thought of it, thank you for sharing.

[@cgavin1]

@@mcchicken1849 General plot of (future) book: Sevatar and gang escape/are released for a mysterious/suicide mission out in to the darkness. There they encounter a terrible enemy and for their own reasons engage it. Just when all seems lost they are saved by Terran Raven Guard exiles/someone else. They join forces to defeat the enemy and most of them are wiped out. The survivors come together and using what stable gene seed is left, create something new from the ashes. They don't consider themselves loyalists or traitors, they are above such sentiments. They are the watchers in the dark.. and they are justice! judgement! punishment! More likely the night lords element is wiped out and someone uses their gene seed to supplement their own and they become the Carchardons. I can't see any other way they could re-integrate in to a loyalist chaper tbh.

Prince of Crows was a fantastic novella. Firmly shows his ruthlessness as a commander as well as his skill in combat. Sevatar would've been the only one capable of holding the Eight Legion together in a coherent force. Definitely one of my top 5 favourite characters.

[@johannesgutmann727]

I’m not 100% sure. Sevatar is often depicted more as a general. Like the people would follow his lead but he is no leader. He ever trusted Kurzes decisions and never made his own. This is also mentioned in the Kurze Primarchs book

[@gaelicpride_6353]

@@johannesgutmann727 In order to be a general or any officer position you need to have the ability to lead, to be a leader. Sevatar displayed his ability to lead and his ability to see the bigger picture more than once. His fellow members of the Kyroptera wanted to attack the Dark Angels, which would've ended in them being massacred. Sevatar wanted to bring the Legion back to Horus so they could be there for the Siege of Terra, for the war that really mattered. He set in place a plan that would distract the First Legion long enough for the bulk of the Night Lords to make the translation jump to Terra. He didn't trust Curze's plans because Curze himself was unstable. That was shown when Curze boarded the Invincible Reason and ordered Sevatar to bring the Atramentar with him. Because of Curze's order the bulk of the Atramentar were killed and Sevatar captured. Curze escaped but was trapped in the bowels of the Invincible Reason. If Curze hadn't attacked the Dark Angels and instead made the translation back to Horus, then the Siege might have ended differently, seeing as he was known as one of the best fighters among the primarchs. Curze essentially sacrificed the Atramentar and Sevatar just for the chance to get to grips with Lion El'Jonson, and we saw how that ended. I love the Night Lords but Curze wasn't the most tactically minded of the primarchs.

@@SubliminalEncryption plenty of proof in HH series, the Space Shark series and from private talks with BL authors. Konrad sees Sevatar leading space marines in dark grey armor fighting xenos and other threats in the Outer Dark. Space Shark geneseed is a mixture of Night Lord and Raven Guard. They use a ton of Heresy era equipment. Their skin is very pale before turning grey, they have black eyes just like Night Lords and they use terror tactics...just like Night Lords.

[@SubliminalEncryption]

@bulwyf2572 quite literally everything you said is speculation. Anything out of konrads mouth is suspect as the dude is insane. Using heresy Era equipment is not definitive as other chapters do this. Nowhere is it stated explicitly that the geneseed is a mixture of those two specifically and in fact all mentions of geneseed are, at best, speculation by the observer. Tactics are almost never unique to the legions or chapters, even when held as "their thing" and if wish for evidence of that go see the dark angels. Make no mistake, it would be cool if any of that absolute....but given the nature of unreliable narrator in this universe we've gotten very little in certitude in this aspect.

[@bulwyf2572]

@@SubliminalEncryption when you have private talks with BL authors who confirm theories to you then you can disagree. Everything I said is not 'speculation" but literally in the books and fluff.

They need a propose, something like keeping the memory of the Night Hunter alive in the Galaxy and bring his sense of justice. They will be insane rouges vigilantes, but not random insane killers.

I have to agree that was a great Sevatar moment.

After travelling to the flagship he eventually meets Sevatar, who listens to the accusations in the report. He gives the human officer a choice, drop the matter and forget everything or stay and watch the truth, the catch.... he would never leave that ship alive. Great short story from before the Heresy.

[@Cookie4us]

If I recall, they left it ambiguous aswell since the person in question was also destined to be assigned to their sister ship as captain. Leaving the choice further if the pilot in question would rather stay and die or accept and move on. (He was pretty destined to be part of the night lord expedition if I recall the book)

That's the great thing about the lore of 40k: so little is standardized that it's primarily about our opinion of things. I personally don't think the Dark Angels were able to keep him captive for long and he escaped into the void. But I don't have a specific idea of where he could have gone from their. The only reason I don't believe he became a Grey Knight is because they only take the most powerful psykers and Sevatar never displayed psionics at all. That's not say he didn't suppress them as the entire Death Guard legion did prior to falling to Chaos. These people that debunk the theory forget that Sevatar was around when the decree of Nikea was put down. On a side note, unless hes been in the Warp most or all of this time he wouldn't still be alive regardless.

=Night L= you forgot your spear sevatar =Sevatar= I will be back for it soon enough *walks away* Sevatar you also forgot your keys =Sevatar= Um I will also be back for those =Night L= Sevatar you forgot (Annoyed grumbling)

[@robertorodriguez9854]

love his content

[@KarbhonBlaC]

If sevatar must die , let it be after a headbutt from sigismund. It's hard for me to say, too, lol , but fairness to creative writing . Personally, I want him in 40k .

[@nexx3397]

I love the night Lords

[@Blazerwolf666]

Flat-footed, not dead-footed, though that is a great turn-of-phase in this context.

[@Tsunamiieh]

Definitely my favorite character along with kharn before he got too crazy

[@bielpr2009]

Sevataar may be a bit of a Psycho (Like any Night Lord, really), but he is totally right here. The other Night Lord captains were about to sacrifice the entire legion in order to accomplish a largely irrelevant objective (stalling the Dark Angels for a little longer) and the dumb pride of being unable to accept they had lost one battle.

[@mcinnisboy]

More Sevatar content!

[@lordmictian6951]

I would say that Decimus has a shot at leading them but ADB himself has spoken very poorly of Decimus's abilities, pretty much leads me to believe that Decimus (if we ever actually see him again) will most likely die attacking the Eldar. Which is a dam shame since if there was any 40k era character I would have loved to see a Night Lord model get made for, it would have been Decimus. But then again, I also would love to see something in relation to sevatar, be it his return or his death, a new model or closure so I dont have to keep my hopes up for another dead storyline by GW. In reality, I don't care who leads the 8th, just as long as I get to see them back in action again!

[@craynak]

What? Where was ADB talking poorly of Ddecimus?! I wanted a trilogy of book about him?!

[@jeffers1985]

Sevatar's role grew more as Kurze slipped into madness. Sevatar was respected and even held the greatest swordsman in the captain in the Imperial fist to a stalemate. I think he's alive, but like what Kurze saw with the legion. He hates what the legion became due to the issues at home and the recruits being put forward. He had enough

[@willscott5374]

Would be really cool to see the theory of curze's soul being trapped in his crown's soul gem become reality and just maybe Sevatar has recovered it and wears it, meaning that both would become one. That would be really interesting.

[@shotou]

No mention of Corswain in the list of best space marine warriors?

[@briharrisWarhmmer40kfan]

This vid was effin AMAZING!!!!!!! I think sevetar is alive still. I also think that sevetar would have beaten Abaddon if they fought eachother during the heresy.......thoughts????

[@eonstar2441]

if sevatar comes back im going full on night lords ave dominus nox

[@sailorkek8672]

What a great name for a night lord. Its like calling one Mutalitus or a Death Guard Sneezus

[@laserbeampussydestroyer6279]

What does Sevatar mean? :o

[@ragnaroknroll4803]

It’s between Sevatar and Lukas the Trickster for my favorite Astartes.

[@richamaru5217]

If you read the night lords trilogy talos says that sevatar was the only that maybe be able to hold the legion together but even he probably couldnt. None could save the night haunter

[@ZetatheSixth]

Sorry Rho he can't lead the Night Lords. He was too busy taking the best of them and founding the Carcharodons.

[@JudicialBrat]

From the void we come, darkness there and nothing more

[@SubliminalEncryption]

Evidence?

[@dstro899]

Zso Sahaal is the rightful successor to the leader, and tactically a far superior choice.

[@chrisbennett6236]

Sevatar could most definitely pull the legion together and lead them. Talos has the leadership skills to lead but he's an apothecary and it's very rare amongst Astartes that standard marines respect the apothecaries. I've read too many stories where the grunts are rude, condescending and even outright hostile to their apothecaries. Bot sure why.

[@chesterthewild8025]

What a lad

[@HollowHeart-hh9xq]

Glory to the prince! Sevatar always was and always will be 1 of my 2 favorite non primarch characters, alongside Ahriman of the 15th Legion haha Who says wisdom needs mercy? Lol

[@minkua]

Personally I feel the loss is sevatar is worse than them losing kurze, sevetar was more of a leader than kurze was at the end. I hope the story of whatever fate met sevetar on tera is truly worthy of him (I hope he's not dead and is prisoner or something similar) 🙂 my fav nightlord and joint fav non-primark 🙂

[@ShadowPhoenixMaximus]

Well Curze always knew how his story would end and didn't much care what would happen to his sons if he allowed it to pass. Sevatar commanded enough respect that he could have kept the Legion unified or atleast most of it together into the 41st Millennium

[@AdrianTether]

they were always going to fall, it was written in the scane of time , its almost as if it was meant to be

[@thomasschulze6715]

From what book is this? i want to read it!

[@sleepysloth9765]

Will we ever be told why or how Sev got the red gauntlets of death? What’d he do to deserve death at Conrad’s hands?

[@camiloparada9529]

He wasnt killed by konrad

[@MrTinman676]

@@camiloparada9529 no but he fucked up and was given the red gauntlets at some point. For the night lords that means you will be executed for your fuck up by conrad when he feels like it.

[@ShadowPhoenixMaximus]

@@MrTinman676 Uzas got his for killing a number of Night Lords and loyal serfs if I recall.

[@Ghoul7494]

I wish they will bring him back

[@tankster99]

I don’t think sevatar could have held the legion together indefinitely but their collapse wouldn’t be so immediate

[@dukeofawesome3718]

Sevatar would just execute any other captain who would even attempt to break off from the legion!!

[@Deamon93IT]

Sevatar is such a badass, although he clearly cheated against Sigismund. If only Konrad relied more on him the Eight might not have gone renegade
