->''This makes [[spoiler:Avitus]] a notable example of a 40k character becoming "self-aware". It isn't his [[BloodKnight love of violence]] or any lust for power or the corruption of Kyras that turns him traitor, but a sudden awareness of the galaxy in the way we as spectators understand: [[CrapsackWorld it is a hopeless meat grinder, and nothing more; the setting exists for violence alone, for our pleasure.]] [[spoiler:Avitus]] had been grappling with this doubt since the events of Victory Bay in Dark Crusade, and Kyras' cavorting with Eliphas pushes him over the edge. When he betrays the Imperium, it isn't because he suddenly hates it or his brothers or suddenly loves Khorne, but because of his new perspective.''

->For once, be quiet and listen. The chapter expects us to be perfect, obedient instruments of its leaders. [[SurroundedByIdiots Leaders who are barely worthy of life, much less respect.]] Captain Boreale, [[GeneralFailure who walked three companies into the slaughter of Kaurava]]. Captain Angelos, [[GloryHound who lapped up the credit for our victories against the Tyranids]]. Even Captain Thule, [[AchillesInHisTent who chose to sulk on Calderis after the Kronus debacle]]. These are our leaders? The people we are supposed to obey without question? No, these are cowards and imbeciles, every bit as worthless as Governor Vandis and all the others. These incompetents learned nothing from my teachings. I owe them no loyalty.

->''"When [[spoiler:Avitus]] [[FaceHeelTurn betrays the Imperium]], it is because he is a proud man with nothing left to ever take pride in again. Where he once held conviction he was only left with a death wish and he sought his demise in the only way he could ever respect it: amidst the heat of battle, in blood and fire, where the raging dead can be drowned out under the roar of bolter fire. In the end, [[spoiler: Avitus]] died staging his last stand not against the alien, heretic, or loyalists, but against the whole cruel, uncaring universe."''

Added a quote.

Added DiffLines:

->''"In truth, [[spoiler:Avitus]] did not fall to Chaos in the way his brothers might have understood it, instead he fell to the truth. He saw the galaxy for what it was once stripped of the comforting veneer of morality and higher purpose ingrained into him as a Space Marine; [[GoMadFromTheRevelation understood what it meant and could not stomach it.]]''

->''"Sub-Sector Aurelia. This cluster of worlds stands on the very edge of the Imperium of Man. From this frontier came the Blood Ravens, a chapter of the Emperor's own Space Marines. Now, [[OurOrcsAreDifferent savage aliens]] seek to overrun the sector, and break the Blood Ravens once and for all. Captain Davian Thule and a handful of Space Marines lead the raw recruits defending these worlds. Now, another Space Marine joins this desperate battle. A newly promoted Commander, ready to lead in our darkest hour. You are this Space Marine. And you will tip the balance towards victory."'''
