Apollo Diomedes

&nbsp Appolo Diomedes served as the captain of the honour gaurd and right hand man of the chapter. During the second aurelia crusade he ordered all blood ravens to stand down an order that Force commander Amerus and Gabriel Anglos ignored As Diomedes got increasingly sterner in his orders Aramus and Angelos continued to resist the forces of the Black Legion, with whom the Chapter had recently avoided open conflict for an unknown reason. Eventually Sergeant Aramus discovered the Chaotic corruption of Techmarine Martellus, formerly presumed to have died in the crash-landing of his Thunderhawk on the world of Typhon Primaris but who Sergeant Aramus had fought to recover upon discovering his continued survival. Unfortunately Martellus survived only with the corrupting help of Chaos, as the Techmarine became a lackey of the tainted Apothecary Galan and his patrons within the Chapter. As his investigations continued, Sergeant Aramus discovered to his horror that the source of corruption was none other than Chapter Master Kyras himself, who had fallen under the sway of the Greater Daemon Ulkair on Aurelia and spread his taint to Galan aboard the Space Hulk Judgment of Carrion. Kyras escaped the doomed planet Aurelia aboard the Space Hulk and had returned to the Chapter with his dark seed of corruption when he met with Galan's expedition. Daring open conflict with Captain Diomedes' forces in their base-camp on Calderis, Sergeant Aramus attacked Apothecary Galan, slaying the Traitor and his tainted bodyguard of Terminators, a battle which ended in a confrontation with Captain Diomedes himself. Reluctant to accept the corruption of his political patron within the Chapter, Diomedes found himself torn but let Sergeant Aramus and his comrades leave Calderis and continue their operations against the Black Legion warband of Araghast the Pillager. Appolo diomedes lead the third aurelia crusade for the non corrupt blood ravens that eventually lead to the death of azariah kras and the appointment of gabrial angelos as chapter master. Due to his long service under kyras it took a long time for diomedes to accept kyras's betrayl much to the annoyance of Cyrus. Appolo Diomedes still serves with the blood ravens chapter.
