Lucretius Corvo
Lucretius Corvo was the first Chapter Master of the Novamarines and was originally an Ultramarines Astartes officer, who won great renown fighting the Word Bearers during the Horus Heresy.[1]
Besieged during one battle on the world of Astagar, Corvo and his men held out for six days, before managing to destroy a traitor Warlord Titan and break out. For this act, Corvo was decorated by his Primarch Roboute Guilliman[5] and this decoration would later become a sacred relic to the Novamarines, where it is kept in their Fortress-Monastery.[1]
Corvo is known to have commanded Ultramarines forces during the Battle of Sotha during the Heresy.[2]
Post-Heresy
After becoming the Chapter Master of the Novamarines, Corvo took part in the Battle of Thessala, during which Roboute Guilliman was mortally wounded by Fulgrim.[3]
