Chapter Command

Chapter Master Draconis stands at the apex of the Onyx Dragons—warlord, symbol, and the living embodiment of the Chapter’s creed. He is not merely a commander who directs the hunt, but the force that defines its final moment. Where he walks, war does not linger. It concludes.

Born of Draconia’s fire and tempered in the Trial of the Ember Maw, Draconis rose through the ranks not through lineage, but through relentless precision. Every strike, every command, and every decision forged his reputation as a warrior who wastes nothing—not motion, not time, not lives. Under his leadership, the Kill-Hunt Principle was not only refined, but perfected into the doctrine that now guides the entire Chapter.

Draconis does not commit himself lightly. He observes, measures, and allows the hunt to unfold through his captains and companies. Only when the decisive moment presents itself does he descend—Skywrath igniting as he strikes at the heart of resistance. His arrival is not a reinforcement. It is a declaration that the end has come.

In battle, he fights with controlled lethality. Emberfang moves in precise, sweeping arcs, each strike calculated to break, sever, or end. Enemy champions fall before they can rally. War engines are gutted where they stand. There is no fury in his movements—only certainty.

To the Onyx Dragons, Draconis is the First Flame—the origin of their will and the measure by which all warriors are judged. To their enemies, he is the final truth of the hunt made manifest:

Not the fire that begins the battle…

but the fire that ends it.

The Keeper of the Flame carries the voice of the Onyx Dragons. He records the Chapter’s victories, preserves its oaths, and ensures that every hunt is remembered not as chaos, but as purpose fulfilled. Through him, the deeds of the Chapter are given meaning, and its legacy is carried forward across generations.

t is the Keeper who speaks the names of the fallen, who proclaims the outcome of great hunts, and who ensures that no victory is forgotten nor any failure ignored. His words shape how the Chapter understands its own past—and how it prepares for the hunts yet to come.

the Onyx Dragons, memory is not reflection.

It is preparation.

Within the blazing manufactoria of the Ebon Spire, the Warden of the Ember Forges oversees the creation, maintenance, and sanctification of the Chapter’s wargear. He is not merely a keeper of machines, but a master of transformation—taking raw material and forging it into instruments worthy of the hunt.

Relics are not preserved in stillness. They are reforged, tempered, and returned to war, their histories growing with each campaign. Armor is strengthened, weapons are refined, and the machine spirits of ancient wargear are guided and appeased through ritual and discipline.

The Warden ensures that when the Onyx Dragons strike, their weapons do not fail.

For in the crucible of Draconia, weakness is burned away.

The Lord of the Burning Sky commands the void fleets and atmospheric strike assets of the Onyx Dragons. From orbiting strike cruisers to descending gunships, he ensures that the Chapter controls the battlefield before the first warrior sets foot upon it.

Every drop assault, every orbital strike, and every atmospheric engagement falls under his command. He decides where the hunt begins, where the enemy is exposed, and how the Chapter descends upon its prey.

To fight beneath the command of the Fleet is to see the sky itself turn against the enemy—gunships screaming through ash clouds, engines roaring like wyrms in descent.

Before the hunt reaches the ground…

it is already underway above.

The First Shield stands as the protector of the Ebon Spire and the inner sanctums of the Chapter. While the battle companies wage war across the stars, it is he who ensures that the heart of the Onyx Dragons remains unbroken.

The Guard is not a passive force. It is a line that cannot be crossed, a presence that does not yield. Every warrior under his command is chosen for discipline, endurance, and the ability to hold against overwhelming force without falter.

In times of dire need, the First Shield may take the field beyond Draconia, reinforcing the Chapter at its most critical point. When he does, he brings with him not speed or fury—but certainty.

The ground he holds is never taken.

The Voice of the Emperor’s Flame tends to the soul of the Onyx Dragons. As High Chaplain, he ensures that every warrior remembers not only how to fight—but why. Through sacred rites, oaths, and the solemn observance of the Flame Vigil, he binds the Chapter to its purpose.

Before battle, he marks the warriors with ash and flame, invoking the rites that have guided the Chapter since its founding. In victory, he leads the rites of remembrance. In loss, he ensures that sacrifice is not forgotten, but honored.

His presence steels the will of the Chapter, turning doubt into purpose and pain into resolve.

For the Onyx Dragons, faith is not distant.

It burns within them.
