===The Nemean Reaver=== His real name is unknown, but it is widely suspected (and also confirmed by statements from himself) that he was a Dark Angel. Heavily injured in the Rangdan Xenocides, he is supposed to be a mess of scar tissue and [[Rage]]. Was the head of his own [[Blackshield]] fleet made up of dispossessed legionaries called the "Dark Brotherhood" until he was approached by Garro for recruitment, a meeting which the [[Alpha Legion]] did their best to foul up. It's notable that his Blackshield fleet was NOT a Loyalist fleet nor was it allied with Horus, but instead a completely independent group that just happened to fight and pillage Traitors instead of Loyalists because they were in a sector that the Alpha Legion wanted. The Reaver's excuse for this was that, cut off from everyone and in prime Traitor territory, he was merely doing what he had to do to survive. While loyal himself, his fleet was not, so he left it behind when he was recruited. Though his fleet likely wouldn't have raided loyalists anyway since Astartes, even Renegades, tend to hate the ''absolute '''fuck''''' out of traitors. Blackshields who were loyal to no one weren't exactly known for attacking the loyalists, but were known for attacking the traitors so...yeah. Truly the embodiment of neutrality. On the tabletop he's probably one of the higher tier challenge characters out there (not counting Primarchs), coming runner up to [[Sigismund]] in lethality but is superior in terms of survivability. He's got Toughness 5, ''Eternal Warrior, Adamantium Will'', 2+/4+ saves and rerolls failed saves against Blast or Template weapons. He also has a S+1 AP2 sword which inflicts -1 WS to enemies in a challenge and strikes at initiative. He also causes ''Fear'' and is ''Fearless'', meaning he can't be overrun and has a chance of just trolling generic legionaries who are not immune to Fear. There are two versions of him, representing him as the commander of the Dark Brotherhood in a Blackshields army, or can be taken by any Loyalist force if you upgrade to Knight-Errant, making him even deadlier in a challenge with ''Preferred Enemy (Traitors)''. '''Trivia:''' Both his name and his armour are allusions to [[Lion El'Jonson|lions]], which is no surprise given his supposed heritage. The '''Nemean Lion''' was slain as the first of the twelve labours of Heracles, while the pelt of the '''Cithaeron Lion''' was worn by Heracles and was said to be impervious, which accounts for the sheer number of benefits granted by his Kithaeron warplate.
