The end of Corax

Whilst Corax is haunted by the knowledge that he has failed, ruined his Legion and watched helplessly from the sidelines as his father and the Imperium have been casually ripped asunder, my impression of him from Deliverance Lost is that he is aware of how truly unique and potent the Primarch are: he knows better than most the artistry and time that went into them and I don't believe that in the face if such losses to the Imperium he would squander his life like that, knowing what it was worth and that there are only 14 Primarch left at that point. Instead I see his 'Nevermore' quest as similar to a Dwarf Slayer - he craves atonement through death and yet he can't end his life without good cause, so he strides voiceless and alone into the the Eye of Terror with the plan to kill every Traitor there until he is redeemed or he is absolved - victory or death at the hands of a daemonspawn. Emo, but still befitting the gene-labs of the Emperor.

I agree with this. I don't see any Primarch using their own hands to kill themselves. They will throw themselves headlong into an almost unwinnable battle and take a great tally of the chosen enemy before they go down. I also agree with the sentiment that as a guerrilla fighter he would keep fighting on behind the scenes, deep in enemy controlled territory. This is what the RG were best at and through unfortunate circumstance, forced into doing at the most extreme levels.
