History
The 2/2nd Battalion of the Dark Angels have a higher proportion of Terran born marines than others. Whether this is coincidence, Praetor Raziel's discretion, or some other reason is not known for sure.
During The Crusade the 2/2nd operated under the banner of the rest of the legion and as such did not perform much of individual note until the outbreak of the Heresy, when the Lion was forced to spread his fleets to where they were needed most.
Their first major engagement as a seperate force was the Baylonian Insurrection. Responding to the distress calls the fleet rushed headlong to the Imperial Seat of power in the region, only to find the palace in ruins due to the bombarment of the traitors, and being stormed by the Red Angel himself.
Notable Heroes
- Praetor Raziel, "Prince of the Second"
Raziel's regal and secretive mannerisms have led some to term the "Prince" the "Angel of Mysteries". So invested is he in subterfuge one would never suspect he is of Terran stock. He is definitely his gene-father's son. Perhaps this is why he has avoided being stationed to Caliban like so many Terrans? Though who can tell the mind of The Lion?
Raziel has lead the 2/2nd to prefer a more mobile warfare than many other Legions of the era, with the Rhino forming his forces backbone more often than not.
His experiences in the Oteal campaign saw him develop his already prestigious reaction speed to preternatural levels in firefights (Skill: Preternatural Reactions), and the ability to continue to fight on through wounds that would fell most other Preators (+1W).
- Chaplain Tamiel, [Deceased: Cipaar, Oteal System]
Tamiel was Raziel's long standing second, and master of morale and discipline. Tamiel could tell a man's mind with such ease that some called him "The Perfection".
Tamiel fell to the blades of the Word Bearer's Gal Vorbek while defending the Knight World Cipaar during the opening stages of the Baylonian Insurrection.
- Centurion Azazel, "Master of Arms"
Azazel is a grim warrior. As the first Centurion of the 2/2nd it is said that he even trained their august Praetor. There has never been a casualty in the dueling cages under the watchful eyes of the "Master of Arms", and due to his carefully honed training regime it is said that the 2/2nd stand out even among the blademasters of the Legion I.
Following the death of Chaplain Tamiel, secondary command of the Battalion fell to him.
- Chaplain Amaros, "The Accursed"
Amaros had long sought to outdo his supperior Tamiel and rise to the position of first chaplain within the 2/2nd, though this competition never involved rancour, and was mostly seen as good natured jockeying between warrior-borthers.
Upon hearing of Tamiel's fall on Cipaar and his promotion to first chaplain of the battalion, he was heard to remark "How long have I wanted this? And now with the death of my brother it is a curse on my neck", which has lead to some calling him "The Acursed". Amaros has an abiding hatred of the Word Bearer's and their abominable Gal Vorbek, and will stop at nothing to avenge his one time teacher.
