![]() Formally cast out of the Chapter, the ferocious captain was forced to undertake his suicidal journey into the notorious warp rift known as the Maelstrom. It was even darkly rumoured that during one notable incident, Agnathio imposed one of the Adeptus Astartes' most severe punishments upon Kratos for causing the unnecessary deaths of several of his own warriors, in the form of a 'Death Oath'. It was known that Kratos had been formally chastised by Chapter Master Odaenathus on several occasions for meting out harsh and draconian punishments against those who failed to live up to his own militant standards. Captain Kratos was known to be a bellicose and ruthless warrior who held a sinister reputation within his Chapter, having developed a reputation both as a brilliant strategist and a malevolent soul. The newly created Chapter was led by the recently promoted Chapter Master Bruticus Kratos, the former 8 th Company commander and Lord Executioner of the Ultramarines. They served as a spearhead of shock troops mounting direct annihilation assaults on enemy forces, both in open battle and fortified positions, and were often able to carry the attack despite their then-relatively small numbers by their sheer dint of courage and the fury of the violence they could unleash. Unlike other Scions of Guilliman the Imperius Ravagers were unusual for an Ultramarines Successor Chapter, as they quickly garnered a reputation for being a highly aggressive force, its warriors hot-blooded and savage. These ferocious Chapters wreaked terrible slaughter on those who opposed Imperial rule, and due to their bellicose and merciless natures, developed a savage culture as a result. The Imperius Ravagers were created during these desperate times, alongside such brutal Chapters as the Executioners, Blood Bearers, Void Ravens, and the Blades of the Lion. Many of the Chapters created during this Founding were both brutal and ruthless - useful tools that were needed to help strike fear into an unruly Imperial populace and scare them into compliance. To restore order, the High Lords of Terra authorised the 3 rd Founding of the Adeptus Astartes to help bring order to a fractious Imperium and to restore the rule of Imperial law throughout the galaxy. The Imperius Ravagers were one such Chapter, created for the sole task of seeking out and slaughtering Mankind's foes rather than undertaking more defensive or strategic roles.ĭuring the dawn of the 32 nd Millennium, civil discourse and open rebellion had become widespread throughout the galaxy. In the first year of the 32 nd Millennium, the High Lords of Terra decreed that several Space Marine Chapters would be created as a part of the 3 rd Founding. The Imperius Ravagers are a brutal and warlike Chapter, whose dark and bloody deeds have writ a murderous legacy in the annals of Imperial history. Since that time, this bellicose Chapter has continued to defend the sovereign realm of the Emperor and bring swift death to those who dare oppose His will. ![]() The Imperius Ravagers were one such Chapter, which quickly garnered a fell reputation as both ferocious and unforgiving, wreaking terrible slaughter on those who dared to oppose Imperial rule. The Chapters created during this Founding were brutal and ruthless in the extreme. Led by their ferocious and darkly-famed commander, Bruticus Kratos, when the High Lords of Terra called for a new Founding in 001.M32, the Ultramarines saw the opportunity to rid themselves of this headstrong and willful commander and those line warriors who shared Kratos' similar disposition and brutal mein. ![]() Most unusual for a Successor Chapter created from the lineage of Roboute Guilliman, the initial cadre of the Imperius Ravagers was made up of particularly hate-filled, bellicose Astartes - many of which survived the horrors of the Calth Atrocity and the subsequent Underworld War fought beneath the surface of Calth for over a decade after the end of the initial battle, to rid the planet of the hated Word Bearers. The Imperius Ravagers, known also as the 'Headsmen of Charopós', are a 3 rd Founding Successor Chapter of the honourable Ultramarines, created at the dawn of the 32 nd Millennium.
