Editing Corvus Corax (section)

==Post-Heresy==
After the Horus Heresy, Guilliman came back and had a sudden surprising outbreak of common-sense (this is a source of hot debate, many view this decision as the highest degree of fucktarded), demanding that the legions subdivide so that no one person could ever hold the kind of power that led to Horus [[FATAL|butt-fucking]] the entire Imperium. Corax hesitantly agreed, and split his forces, but he remained wracked with guilt; he could not forget what he had done to help save the Imperium, and was left with the horrid choice of what to do about the shambling abominations still kept in the holding cells of the Ravenspire. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that, as he was responsible for their creation, he is the one who now must grant them the [[Blam|Emperor's Mercy]], by his own hand, and euthanized the devolved mutants one by one. He then locked himself in Ravenspire, and for nearly a year, did not come out, having spent most of that time in lamentation and the rest playing [[Dwarf Fortress]]. When he did emerge, Corax left Deliverance and made a bee-line for the Eye of Terror, heading there to settle the score.

Quoth the Corax: ''"[[Awesome|Nevermore]]."''

It is believed that like [[Leman Russ]], [[Lion El'Jonson]], and [[Vulkan]], Corax will return in the final apocalyptic battle versus Chaos, when the Emperor returns - and that then, and only then, will he have the absolution he sought. /tg/ often jokes that on that same day, [[Indrick Boreale]] will talk normally.

But after all those time in eye of terror he might as well have became daemon pri-

And as it turns out, that's mostly what happened. After some time in the Eye, Corax gained a fuckload of new abilities by listening to Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones set on repeat, like the ability to to shapeshift into a flock of red-eyed Ravens with beaks so sharp they punch through ceramite like paper, turning into what looks like a living pool of darkness that can move through cracks and soil (while retaining strength enough to lift Marines up into the air before folding them into pretzels), turning into a meteor, and gaining the ability to manipulate shadows like the [[Umbra]]. He could also turn himself back into his normal self, with the exceptions being his jump pack was now replaced with metallic raven-wings ([[Awesome|making him the metal version of]] [[Sanguinius]]), and with his strength, speed, and durability all cranked up to 11. Note that despite his new form and powers, Corax is not a Daemon. He is not affected by wards that affect Daemons in any way and when Lorgar sees him he says he does not see a Daemon, even though he ends up being so strong that he can take on Lorgar (who IS a Daemon Prince) in a one-on-one fight and come out on top, presumably because [[Dawn of War|Lorgar never read that taking the Daemon Prince upgrade doesn't always work out for you.]] Lorgar's sons pull him out of the fight (by unloading everything they had into Corax, which gives him some light bruises on his face and a black eye) when it becomes clear he's not going to win.

While Lorgar considered his own change into a Daemon Primarch to be an ascension, Corax considered his new shapeshifting state to reflect their souls' true origin as warp-forged weapons. He’s also become extremely brutal, torturing and mutilating Chaos Marines as he attempts to hunt down his fallen brothers, especially Lorgar. Ironically, his fear of ending up like [[Konrad Curze]] has come to pass - albeit with his vengeance aimed at the Traitor Legions, and loyalty to the Emperor intact.
