I hav recently began reading (minor spoilers?) "Prince of Crows" and must say I am impressed with Sevatar, both with his badassery ( The man even invented the catch phrase "death to the false emperor") but more importantly, his leadership of the Atramentar and the VIII Legion when Curze is unable to.

Now, his fate seems to be unclear (Am thinking of starting a Atramentar/Jago warband), and my friend who is a fluff nerd tells me that in the further continuity (aka Soul Hunter books etc..) that they believe Sevatar may be alive.

I just wanted to get your guys opinions on the likelihood of such. I'd also like to ask who else other than the one and only Sevatar could possibly ever reunite/really rally the remnants of the VIII Legion, and do you believe as I do, that Sevatar is the last hope for the VIII Legion? I mean, he stepped up and took command when he was needed to, and the Atramentar respect him and him only, which says a lot.

I am pretty sure that they state that



in the Night Lords trilogy. But this doesn't mean it to be true. Just because it is believed to be a case, doesn't mean that it is the actual case, as with so many things in 40k.

Personally, I hated Sevatar. I was really disappointed, because I love the Night Lords. He alone ruined Prince of Crows for me (Don't get me started on his voice in the audio book).

I kind of hope he won't make a return in the 41st, but we'll see.

Sevatar cannot reunite the Legion, his claim is dismissed by the other Captains in the Night Lords trilogy.

The only one who can do it is the new Talos, who the Ulthwe foresaw as uniting the Legion.

Sevatar never tried to reunite the Legion, he was dead long before M'Shen killed Kurze.
