History

The 5th Company of the Night Lords' 13th Chapter - 2nd Battalion is, as one might gleam from such a title, a company of little renown. While they have taken part in successful campaigns as part of the Emperor's Great Crusade and after having gone renegade, little is known about them otherwise outside their own chapter and outside the inner circle of the Kyroptera. And they like to keep it that way. While part of the Great Crusade, they pursued their engagements as the Lord of the Night so desired; by sowing fear and seeds of distrust amongst unloyal populaces, the core form of warfare all Night Lords became masters of. This would make the population compliant and fearful of retribution from all corners of the Imperium.

When the massacre at Isstvan 3 took place, they went out of their way to herd their brothers from the Iron Hands into "safety" away from the betrayal at hand. Only to disappear at the opportune moment and strike while these small groups of Iron Hands were disoriented. There was of course casualties on both sides, however, the Company managed to limp away from Isstvan to rejoin their Legion in pursuing other targets.

During the Thramas Crusade, they had been censured multiple times by other companies as they went after what they thought were the better targets, picking off weak prey as they saw fit and woe bestrode any members from the shattered Iron Hands that stumbled into their path. The 5th Company were known to lash out at their brethren if pushed too much into compliance with the rest of their legion. It's for this reason the bulk of the company wears the stained red gauntlets of those marked for death, and that barely any other Night Lords will assist them in their own endeavours. While, prior to the Thramas Crusade, they had been happily taking direct orders from those higher up in the legion; their new Captain, Var Sohrel, clearly had a different agenda. It was noted, however, when Sevatar gave the legion clearance to do what they saw fit (at the end of the Thramas Crusade) Var Sohrel was amongst the first to take his company away. Now named Clan Skorpious; a title bestowed upon them prior to Isstvaan and now a relished cognomen.
