Soukhounou
Soukhounou was a member of the Raven Guard during the Horus Heresy.
He was born in the African region of Terra[3] and inducted into the Legion before the discovery of Corvus Corax, when the XIXth Legion was still commanded by Arkhas Fal. Soukhounou was not banished as so many other Terran officers in the Raven Guard were upon the discovery of Corax because he was able to adapt to their new, less terror-orientated method of warfare.[3] Though a mere Lieutenant at the time of the Drop Site Massacre, following the Raven Guard's heavy losses on Isstvan V and the death of Solaro An and later Nuran Tesk, Soukhounou was made commander of the Hawks.[1]
Soukhounou was later tasked by Corax with infiltrating the prison world of Carandiru by himself and initiated an uprising that saw the Raven Guard victorious.[1] He later led the Hawks in the Battle of Yarant, where he attempted to convince Corax to abandon his last stand and return to Terra.[2]
