Navar Hef

Na Amongst the Raven Guard, few were so loyal to the ideals and teachings of Corvus Corax than Navar Hef. One of the early recruits of the Raptor-contigent, Navar Hef suffered severely from the genetic curse that plagued most of the Raptors. Being one of the earliest warriors to suffer from these deformations, Hef quickly rose to prominence amogst these mutated warriors - colocally called "roughs" in opposition to the genetically perfect "smooths". Far bulkier than his fellow warriors, Navar Hef was required to wear a bastardised suit of Power Armour forged from the remains of Mk II "Crusade" and Mark III "Iron"-pattern armours whereas most of the Raptors wore the far more advanced Mk VI-pattern. The Techmarines of the Legion even had to adapt a helmet from a suit of Terminator-armour to enable him to deploy to zero-gravity or low-oxygen environment. Hef’s mutations however proved a powerful asset in the field, as his superior hearing and claws made him a lethal opponent. Quickly after the Battle for the Ravendelve, Navar Hef was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and given command of one of the newly-formed companies of Raptors. Becoming rapidly known for his aggressive nature, Hef quickly learned to temper his temperament with cold reason after one of his previous actions almost ended with the death of allied troops.
