Master Rahatiel
''Rahatiel is a stain on the reputation of the title. Master was leading a united force of Space Wolves from Cromhaven and Ignean Salamanders fighting a Tau and Eldar alliance. Keen to impress the Space Wolves, Master Rahatiel permitted 3 Space Wolf Terminators to make use of the Igean Drop Pod to lead a charge against the Eldar and Tau. After poor deployment, the Terminators and Master found themselves at the mercy of the entire firepower of the army. The Space Wolves went down valiantly, absorbing and taking a beating before being taken down by heavy weapons. Unfortunately when Master Rahatiel had to take firepower, only Pulse Carbines remained - no match for Artificer Armour. Unfortunately Master Rahatiel had poorly maintained his armour and the Carbine killed him dead. His body was not recovered.''
