A Primus of Venator Reivers leading fellow soldiers under the shadow of this standard
Venator Reiver Officers are those among the Venator Reivers who having demonstrated the fanatical discipline and courage expected of any skorne battlefield commander has risen above their peers to achieve the rank of Primus. As the forces of the Skorne Empire increasingly face the devastating firepower of the technologically superior armies of the Iron Kingdoms many skorne tyrants have begun to rely more upon the Venators and the lethal firepower of ranged weapons such as reivers. This has given more opportunities for the Venators to gain the respect of the leaders of the Empire.[1]
Though none have yet become tyrants, they are gaining the respect of the leaders of the Army of the Western Reaches. While those among Praetorians and Cataphracts still disdain the Venators and their approach to war, some tyrants and dominars now recognize how fiercely devoted many Venators are to their own interpretation of hoksune and what honorable and disciplined soldiers they make. Some among the high ranking Venators have even begun to hope that members of their caste might one day prove worthy of exaltation.[1]
