	The Raven Guard got its ass kicked in the Drop Site Massacre during the [[Horus Heresy]], the battle of Isstvan V reducing the Legion's strength from over 80,000 Astartes to a little less than 3,000. Whilst the [[Salamanders]] and [[Iron Hands]] took heavier losses, the Raven Guard lost a bigger percentage of its troops. Its primarch, wishing to do his part to stop [[Horus]] from [[Anal Circumference\|ass-raping]] the Imperium, resorted to cloning technology provided by the Emperor to replenish the Chapter's numbers, which went well in the first few stages.

	However afterwards, due to some dickery by [[Alpharius]] and the Alpha Legion with the gene manipulation gizmos in the cloning process, [[Troll\|which they corrupted with Daemon blood and proceeded to take the pure sample for themselves]], a sizable proportion of these clones were flawed and degenerated into shambling, [[furry\|inhuman creatures]]. The Raven Guard herded them up and led them into battle regardless, however, arming the strong ones and using the weak ones as meat-shields. The tactic proved brutally effective and succeeded, most notably, in pushing the [[Iron Warriors]] off a valued forge world.

	The Raven Guard suffered low-level gene-seed deterioration (due to Corax's attempt to bolster the legion's numbers at any cost, which was cloning ~~a few hundred thousand~~ Space Marines that turned into genetic rejects), which means that like [[Matt Ward]]'s brain, several of the unique organs of the Space Marines no longer work entirely properly. Raven Guard Marines do not have functional Mucranoids (glands that helps them survive space vacuum without protection) or Betcher's Glands (which allows them to spit acid). Additionally, the Melanchromic Organ has a unique mutation that causes the skin of the Space Marine to grow paler with age. This imbalance eventually causes each Raven Guard Marine's skin to become bone-white while their hair and eyes darken, becoming pitch fucking black. So [[grimdark]].

	There's also the ''Sable Brand'' a sort of gene-curse manifested as an emo-tier disregard for self-preservation in the field of battle. These marines turn utterly kill-crazy and are thus marshaled into their own little [[Death Company]]. While Corax had the acumen and numbers to afford throwing these guys together as his shadow killers and then use them as an elite strike force, the Raven Guard of the modern day aren't quite as able to do so and began experimenting to figure out why they became so emo. The Brand is a good deal more psychological than matters like the [[Red Thirst]], as Corax reshaped his battle doctrine in order to limit how his men get afflicted - it worked at limiting how many turned super-emo, but this also led to the Brand being a point of no return, whereas before there was at least a chance to come back from the edge. This later resulted in [[Roboute Guilliman]] to adopt this into the [[Moritat]] after the [[Ultramarines]] got their power butts kicked by the Ash Blind during training sessions with Corax and his sons. It is worth of note that the Primarch of the Ultramarines made sure the Moritat would make its way into every Legion, making this one formation the only one that spread unlike the likes of the [[Fulmentarus\|Fullmentarus Terminators]] he planned to include into each Legion. They are also noted for going batshit crazy against any of the Legions who did that fun thing on Istvaan called the [[Drop Site Massacre]]. Corax also exiled the Terran-born [[Ashen Claws]] to [[Ghoul Stars]] as they did not fit his visions of the Legion. They would later build an empire there.

	It was none other than his [[Emperor of Mankind\|father]]. For the first time in his life, Corax was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of awe and voluntarily obedient. His first impression of the Emperor was simultaneously the most ordinarily looking human ever to the point of bland, as well as the most respectable, charismatic and virtuous being imaginable. Corax held an audience with the Emperor during which big E explained about his Crusade which was going on out there spearheaded by Corax’s brothers. The Emperor didn’t give Corax his Legion right there and then though, he still had to conquer Kiavhar on his own.		It was none other than his [[Emperor of Mankind\|father]].

The Emperor didn’t give Corax his Legion right there and then though, he still had to conquer Kiavhar on his own.

	So Corax did just that, he basically loaded transportation shuttles (which were originally used to transfer materials mined on Lycaeus directly to Kiavhar’s industrial hubs) full of nuclear IEDs and then sending them down Kiavhar’s five biggest cities, blowing the planet’s main manufacturing centers up. He then sent a message to the Kiavhar’s rulers which informed them that [[Rape\|out of the thousands of nukes which were in his possession, he had only used five]]. Kiavhar capitulated and the [[Adeptus Mechanicus\|Mechanicum]] stepped in to help rebuilding and running its manufacturing facilities (though it remained independent from the Mechanicum as the only authority which Kiavhar recognized was the Raven Guard). The planet has supplied the Raven Guard with weapons ever since, some of which are unique to Raven Guard only such as the Whispercutter and the ~~Shadowhawk~~.

	After having been united with his legion, Corax did much to rid the Raven Guard of influences from its Terran marines, as he deemed them to be cruel and oppressive. He eventually turned the Raven Guard into a Legion which was much more humane, selfless and considerate compared to before. And so during the Great Crusade, worlds brought into Imperium's fold under the hands of the Raven Guard suffered much less collateral damage compared to other Legions on average as they actively tried to minimize civilian casualties.

	Near the end of the crusade, for some reason [[TTS\|Fucking]] [[Horus]] ordered the Raven Guard to carry out a frontal assault into the direct gun lines of the last citadel of their enemies during Battle of Gate Forty-Two. Corax talked back to Horus and proposed a more reasonable plan, which riled [[Perturabo]] up and accused Corax of insubordination. As the two were at each other's throats, only an intervention from [[Leman Russ]] averted them from coming to blows. Having no other choice, Corax made the best out of the worst by ordering the Terran elements of his Legion and the most pro-Horus officers to serve as the vanguard of the assault. The Raven Guard won but at the cost of heavy casualties, compounded by the fact the legion's specialization was the opposite of what they were asked to perform. The only silver lining was that as the Terran Raven Guards were much depleted, the Warrior Lodge within the legion almost went extinct as a result, sparing the Raven Guard from getting corrupted by it during the [[Horus Heresy]].

	Their visual style is mostly vanilla marines, mostly due to the lack of care GW has provided for them. Forge World and the Horus Heresy novels seem to push them more towards a native american style, with fetishes (not the Slaanesh-kind of fetish, you pervert) made from various kinds of animal bones and, you guessed it, black feathers.
