Lucoryphus

Lucoryphus is a Chaos Space Marine Raptor serving in Iskandar Khayon’s warband within the Black Legion, active in the era following the Horus Heresy.

Within Khayon’s warband, Lucoryphus commands a squad of Raptors, Chaos Space Marines equipped with jump packs for rapid, high-mobility assault, and is recorded as taking part in operations conducted in service to Abaddon the Despoiler and the wider purposes of the Black Legion during the millennia following the Horus Heresy. His role emphasises the shock and terror tactics typical of Raptor formations, striking from above to disrupt enemy cohesion ahead of the warband’s main assault.

Lucoryphus remains a secondary figure within Black Legion tradition, notable chiefly as an illustration of how post-Heresy warbands such as Khayon’s draw Space Marines from multiple Traitor Legions into a single fighting force bound by loyalty to a warband leader rather than to a single parent Legion. Further biographical detail, including his Legion of origin and eventual fate, is not consistently recorded.
