The First Claw

While Claw is a normal designation for a squad of 10 infantry within the Legion, the First Claw is also reference to a particular Legion warband of notoriety, namely, the First Claw of the Tenth Company. Storied was the history of the First Claw. They fought for many centuries under the Exalted, one of the few possessed among the Night Lords legion who otherwise despise chaos influence. They worked for the Black Legion as mercenaries, crossed blades with the same Black Legion, fought with and against the Crimson Corsairs and made a last stand against the Eldar of Ulthwe. The First Claw was also the warband of the Soul Hunter after the death of the Exalted and as prophet of his time he predicted the fortunes and futures of the legion and the long war before he was struck down. While the First Claw is gone, shattered into a few survivors, it is responsible for the final creation of the Prophet of the 8th Legion who may unite the Night Lords one day.
