Editing Sevatar (section)

==Biography==
===Pre-heresy===
As a child, he began displaying psychic powers and could hear the voices of the dead, alongside the thoughts of men or animals, which caused him [[Butthurt|pain]]. He was eventually taken into the Night Lords Legion, whereupon he began having terrible visions of the future. [[Konrad Curze]] and his advisors immediately learned of Sevatar's psychic issues, as Curze was specifically on the lookout for such occurrences. This was because he had learned over the years that if psykers in his legion started having visions similar to the way he did, it meant that the Night Lords [[gene-seed]] was in some way incompatible with its host. Once someone had become a legionnaire however, there was obviously nothing to be done about it; it isn't as though the Astartes modifications could be reversed. As such, Curze and other psychically attuned members of the legion attempted to suppress Sevatar's powers in the hope that they would simply atrophy with time. He also proved an extremely gifted and extremely ruthless combatant. Like most Night Lords, he had bone-white skin and jet-black eyes, and also had a Dracula-esque widow's peak. As pictured above, he also had a set of scars on his face that made it look like he was half sneering at all times.

Sevatar would eventually rise to the rank of First Captain, making him second in command of his Legion and equerry to his Primarch. This was by dint of simply being right almost all the time, which made him a very capable tactician and strategist, although it left him with an air of arrogance. He tended to dismiss the concerns of the legion's Terran-born Astartes, and had difficulty interacting both with them and with the regular humans in the Expeditionary Fleet. He seemingly cared little about these issues, but would admit that he felt envy at those who could so effortlessly joke and bond with others.

He was apparently quite famous amongst the various branches of the Imperial military, as he'd been featured in "countless inspirational Imperial holos" relaying the deeds of the Astartes greatest heroes. He was also described as sounding like an "avalanche somehow given the power to sneer." He is also well known both in and out-of-universe as being one of the single most snarky motherfuckers in the entire galaxy, and exceedingly blunt with other ranking officers and even Primarchs. He was such an annoying dick that he actually managed to irritate Magnus of all people back during the Heresy, and even sardonically called him ''Uncle'' at one point. After which both Magnus and ''Curze himself'' told Sevatar to shut up. He also found other people's opinions to be generally tiresome, typically because those people were genuinely not as intelligent or insightful as he was. He was also said to be so generally emotionless that he was thought to fake most of his reactions. Sevatar himself acknowledged this tendency in his private thoughts, and noted that he tended to respond in whatever manner he either thought was expected or appropriate to others. In truth, he had virtually no intrinsic emotional reactions to almost anything. For example, in one particular instance of Sevatar speaking with a Night Lords officer called Sheng, the latter commented that he found a bit of scenery to be beautiful. Sevatar agreed, but in his private thoughts, noted that he had no idea how to judge whether or not something was beautiful, and simply agreed because he assumed he was supposed to. He also based a significant amount of his interpersonal reactions on what he'd seen other people doing in similar situations. He would, for instance, often smile in greeting because that seemed to be what other people typically did. The most outstanding bit of personality that he seemed to possess was his sardonic wit, as he did seem to find at least mild amusement in mocking those he found to be exasperating.

At some point after the [[Council of Nikaea]], it fell to Sevatar to make the decision about what to do with the Night Lords Librarius, as Curze apparently couldn't be bothered to do so. Sevatar also seemed not to care about what happened to them, and left their fates up to individual company commanders. He did banish their [[Librarian|Chief Librarian]] [[Knights-Errant#Others|Fel Zharost]] back to Terra.

===Heresy===
At the outset of the Horus Heresy, he was the first person to utter the phrase: "Death to the False Emperor!" during one of Horus' briefings for the [[Battle of Isstvan III|Isstvan]] [[Drop Site Massacre|trap]], making him one of the most significant characters of the entire setting.

Sevatar also wore red gauntlets, a sign that he was condemned to be killed by the hands of his Primarch at a moment of his choosing. This was a sentence usually reserved for ''"Traitors and Fools"'' though it seems that Sevatar considered himself to be both. What he did to be condemned this way is unknown, but Curze never seemed to have any actual interest in having him executed.

During the [[Thramas Crusade]], when Curze was injured and left comatose after being ambushed by [[Lion El'Jonson]] at Sheol, Sevatar was left as acting commander (mostly by killing several other contenders). He then declared that they had done all that Horus had demanded of them and that they should from then on do whatever they wanted to do. So he broke the Legion into six great companies that would operate independently and be under no singular commander where they could rape and pillage to their hearts content, becoming true renegades.

Sevatar then tried using his psychic powers to commune with his Primarch and awaken Curze from his coma, but the Primarch wasn't that interested and knocked him the fuck out. While Sevatar was asleep, the Dark Angels had discovered the Night Lords and outmaneuvered them by using a sentient warp engine that the Lion had discovered earlier in the crusade. After he awoke, Sevatar attempted to retreat out through the Dark Angels' battle lines, until Curze awoke of his own accord and declared that he wanted to board the Dark Angel's flagship instead; [[Awesome|which Sevatar proceeded to do by hitching a ride on top of a space fighter.]] Unfortunately he was overwhelmed and captured.

While a captive of the First Legion, he was contacted by one of their [[Astropath]]s on board the ''Invincible Reason''. He initially mistook her for one of the voices of the dead that he was used to hearing, and while in solitary confinement he confessed his sins and failings to her, saying that he saw himself as an [[Noblebright|agent of justice]] rather than a soldier or cruel killer. After realising who she was, he eventually came to an understanding with her, reading her mind in turn, discovering that she had been badly beaten and left crippled by her Legion overseer for speaking to him. She helped him escape by freezing his guards and allowing him to escape, but Sevatar chose not to flee. Instead, he made his way to her chambers and strangled the overseer to death, something he saw as his "duty" to perform considering the treatment suffered by the young astropath. After that, he went back to his cell and surrendered again to the Dark Angels.

Rather interestingly, his internal monologuing, his conversation with the Astropath, and a trip inside of Curze's mindscape may have actually succeeded in turning Sevatar into what Curze had always hoped his Legion would become. It seemed to dawn on him during this introspection that there was very little genuine justice in what the Night Lords did, merely order. The incident was noted to have given him a sort of cold focus that had long eluded him, and his psychic powers also appeared to no longer be killing him. Where this will go, if anywhere, has yet to be seen.

===Death(?)===
It was said that Sevatar was eventually killed during the Horus Heresy at some point before the [[Siege of Terra]]. It's not quite figured out where or by who yet. And considering the character of his Primarch and Legion as well as the nature of his condemnation, it might not be that glorious a death either... though there are rumors that he may still be alive somewhere. It is highly unlikely however, that Curze would have been the one to have killed him. Curze's movements after the Thramas Crusade are fairly well documented, and at no point was he recorded to have encountered Sevatar after the Crusade's end. He himself seemed surprised after the Heresy to learn that Sevatar was "dead". It should be noted that Curze learning of Sevatar's death was presented as a Night Lords legionnaire reminding his completely insane Primarch of something he should already have known, or had been told previously. The only chance Curze would have even had to kill Sevatar would have been during their stay aboard the ''Invincible Reason'', where Sevatar had been imprisoned and Curze had been hunting Dark Angels. It also would have had to have happened offscreen, and Curze would have then needed to tell others, forget that it had happened, and be reminded, for the above exchange to have occured.

As of the start of the ''Siege of Terra'' books, the last time he was seen was as a prisoner on the ''Invincible Reason'' by Gendor Skraivok via the powers of the [[Barabas Dantioch|Pharos]]. Konrad Curze apparently hadn't seen him since the end of the Thramas Crusade and neither had the majority of the legion, casting doubt on whether he was actually on Terra during the Siege or not. Seeing as the Lion was busy burning traitor worlds during the Siege, it remains to be seen if he managed to escape.

Some on /tg/ believe he might have ended up as a [[Knights-Errant|Knight-Errant]] (which is unlikely, given that most of them are now gone to [[Titan (Moon)|Titan]]) or perhaps one of/the first of the [[Carcharodons]].
