!!Vulkan, Primarch of The Salamanders
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vulkantts.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:330:Congratulations, My Friends!]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTV5teR2iHwMUWKk597ZTig ComradeCrimson]]
One of the 20 Primarchs, the genetically-modified, superhuman children of the Emperor. Specifically, Primarch of the Salamanders. Prophesized to return when his chapter gathers all of his relics together.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: Just like Corvus Corax, he showed kindness and respect towards his Chapter's marines even to the point of treating and referring Tu'Shan and He'Stan as his own children in Jopall episode.
* AndCallHimGeorge: His hugs can make a Primarch start ''screaming in agony'', and he's very generous with them. WordOfGod says that after his return he gave a lot of hugs to his entire Chapter, and that many of them needed to visit the Apothecary afterwards.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Vulkan may be the friendliest person in the entire setting, but don't forget that he is a ''Primarch.'' His big, friendly hugs can still crush other Primarchs, let alone lesser mortals, and he is implied to have just forced Covus Corax into the Engine of Woes against his will. And don't forget that the reason why he's Orking out every now and then is because ''he'' engaged the Beast, perhaps the one creature that got closest to wiping out the Imperium, ''in hand to hand combat'' and [[HeroicSacrifice sort-of won]].
** He also burned Caldera to the ground when he found out that the humans there were worshiping Eldar Exodites, wiping the entire planet of all life. Nice guy or not, that certainly sends a message.
* CatchPhrase: ''Adventure!''
* CameBackWrong: Kinda. The closest he ever got to dying and having it stick was against the Beast, which he defeated by tackling it into an Ork Power Generator, which runs on pure WAAAAGH! energy. Thus, Magnus theorizes that his consciousness and the Ork gestalt consciousness have fused.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Vulkan is the only major leader in the Salamander-Raven Guard crusade who thinks that the Emperor really ''has'' redeemed Magnus and reformed the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition, which the others dismiss (probably because something like that would be too optimistic for, you know, Warhammer 40K). Of course, he's actually completely correct.
** In general he just seems to have a proper grasp of what people in this universe ''really'' are like. The above is one example, as he knows the Emperor would do something like that. Another is when Brainghost!Ferrus comes claiming that "FLESH IS WEEEEEEAK!" only for Vulkan to smack the shit out of him, coldly stating the real Ferrus would have said the opposite (and he's correct in it; Ferrus Manus was not nearly as much of a fan of cybernetic replacements as his legion thinks he was).
* CutenessProximity: His reaction to encountering an alien frog that he's just been warned will release a deadly toxin if threatened? An overwhelming compulsion to "boop de snoot".
-->'''Corvax''': Do not boop that merry suicide bomber.
* DumbassHasAPoint:
** When Corvus Corax argues that they should ignore the Catachan Guardsmen's call for help in favor of making to Terra as quickly as possible to stop Magnus the Red, Vulkan points out that if they rescue the Guardsmen they'll have more troops as part of their Crusade. While his intentions are more... idealistic than what Corax would prefer, his argument is completely valid, and even Corax admits it.
** He's also willing to consider the possibility that the Emperor has returned and has brought Magnus back into his fold, unlike Corax, pointing out how in-character the Emperor's supposed declarations are.
* EasilyForgiven: Upon seeing Magnus again, the first thing Vulkan wants to do is give him a hug. Specifically an "I'm not mad that you ruined everything forever" hug! And he doesn't hold Magnus accidentally ''killing'' him against him in the slightest, either.
** That being said, the "I'm not mad that you ruined everything forever" hug was exceptionally brutal and painful compared to the hug given to Corax, [[SubvertedTrope suggesting that Vulkan might have been just a little peeved with him]]. Made more ominous by the fact he apparently did not "finalise" this hug and is eager to do so (along with hugging the Emperor "ONE BRITTLE BONE AT A TIME"). Though this can be explained by the fact that Magnus's spine is still broken from his fight with Leman Russ and is very sensitive to violently affectionate Primarch-hugs.
* EvilBrit: When the Ork consciousness slips through, Vulkan's Jamaican accent becomes the usual Ork Cockney. Technically, all Orks are [[EvilBrit Evil Brits]], but here it is very apparent because of how much of a NiceGuy is Vulkan otherwise.
* FashionableAsymmetry: As you can see, one of his pauldrons is decorated with a giant salamander (the animal) skull.
* FromASingleCell: By his own admission he got [[LudicrousGibs splattered]] throughout space and time itself after his encounter with the Beast, and he managed to bounce back from it.
* {{Foil}}: To Corvus. Both were in darkness for many millennia, both see Ferrus and both are rather insane. However, while Vulkan constantly disagrees with Brainghost Ferrus and is extremely cheerful, Corvus is agrees with him and is straight up depressed. Vulkan also forgives Magnus (and everyone for that matter) while Corvus doesn't forgive Magnus at all (or himself, for that matter.)
* GoodAngelBadAngel: The ghost of Ferrus seems to act as the bad sort for him.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Being the only one with a ResurrectiveImmortality, Vulkan takes much more damage than any other being in the series. He even outright exploits it by tanking an [[EarthShatteringKaboom Exterminatus warhead]]. While this does leave him a charred husk by the end, barely able to speak, he ''does'' survive, and will no doubt regenerate in time. Downplayed in that he gets a nasty Life-Eater virus infection from that stunt, which becomes a serious problem in ''Jopallian Japes''.
* GotTheCallOnSpeedDial: Appears mere seconds after all the Artifacts are brought together. Apparently, going by the events in the story, bringing Vulkan's artifacts back to Prometheus was completely inconsequential - he had already been resurrected (he was even in Prometheus already); he just chose to return that moment so he could destroy all of the Artifacts, which he hated. Since he was already on-site, he jumped onto a dropship and launched himself down on a drop pod just to give the Salamanders a big, happy surprise.
* HealingFactor: Lesser injuries that don't kill him outright still heal quite fast. During the second Bro Trip episode, after the ship he's riding on crashes, one can actually see his bare skull grow back its skin and other varied flesh bits. [[spoiler:The life-eater virus placed in the bomb Clancy attacked them with however, turns out able to beat his regeneration, but Vulkan manages to survive, thanks to being infused with the Ork Gestalt conciseness, which suddenly makes him up disappear.]]
* HearingVoices: He hears (and sees) the ghost of his brother Ferrus Manus, who he keeps telling to shut up. Time will tell if it's the genuine article or a hallucination.
-->'''Vulkan:''' "Now I have returned! To bring peace and friendship through the entire Imperium! No matter what the voices in my head say!"
-->'''Ghost of Ferrus:''' "You are weeeak Vulkan!"
-->'''Vulkan:''' "Shut your not-face, brain ghost Ferrus! You are NOT friend..."
** The fact that Corvus Corax can see him too while Magnus can't raises many questions.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLMV9B3vq1A "For Friendship!"]], a theme as uplifting as the man himself.
* LoveFreak: Keeps going on about friendship and basically mentions "friendship" or "friend" in every sentence he says.
-->'''Vulkan''': I got nothin' but FRIENDLINESS for you, because you are my big friendly big brother friend!
* LudicrousGibs: The end result of his fight with the Beast and part of the reason it took so long for him to return was his body was exploded ''so hard'' that it spread across time and space itself. The only reason he's even ''alive'' is due to his ResurrectiveImmortality as a Perpetual.
* MentalFusion: Magnus posits that after Vulkan tackled the Beast into a reactor full of WAAAGH! energy and [[LudicrousGibs exploded]], a part of his mind and soul fused with the Ork gestalt consciousness, which accounts for his Ork episodes. The Emperor sums this up as stating Vulkan is now half-Ork.
* NiceGuy: But of course. He isn't even angry at Magnus for betraying them all, outright insulting what he's been doing (outright agreeing with him in that it's stupid) or ''killing him with the Engine of Woes'', and is generally just the most cheerful guy you could ever find, without a mean bone in his body.
** This extends to he and Corvus' spin-off, in which he suggests that perhaps the Emperor ''is'' the one who disbanded the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition. It doesn't work, but he tried. He's also the one who argues in favor of rescuing the Catachan Guardsmen from a Chaos Invasion; this time, he's much more successful.
* OhCrap: Has this when the Engine of Woes is hurtling towards him at a high speed with a resounding "OH ZOG!"
* ThePollyanna: The very fact that he lives in the TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 universe and has gruesomely died multiple times yet still keeps his cheery and optimistic demeanor makes him this. Though other characters wonder if this is due to some SanitySlippage.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Apparently friendship and teamwork and all that good stuff were necessary to finding the artifacts, according to him anyway. His belief in the power of friendship does, among other things, let him instantly tame any animal he comes across, even giant, savage beasts, and commune with psychic creatures.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Like all Salamanders, they make him look quite eerie, but unless you're the Imperium's enemy they don't mean he's any sort of threat to you. They do noticeably redden and bug out every time he has an Orky outburst, however.
* RedOniBlueOni: The upbeat, cheery Red to Corvus's emo, brooding Blue.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: He's a Perpetual, meaning that if he's killed, he'll eventually regenerate and return to life. Shown during the series when Magnus, in pain, hits him with the Engine of Woes so hard that it kills him and releases Corvus Corax from his imprisonment within. Within a few minutes he's up again and happy as ever. And again when he boops an extremely poisonous Catachan Barking Toad on the head and causes it to explode, killing him due to the poisonous toxins. Once again, after a few minutes, he is completely fine. Not even being ground zero for an Exterminatus will keep him down.
* SanitySlippage: Must've happened to him somewhere between Curze's torture, Ferrus's brain-ghost, and spending ten thousand years alone in a tiny corner of Prometheus, considering how obsessed he is with friendship. Episode 25 shows he also occasionally slips into Ork mannerisms, as a result of ramming the Beast into a reactor full of WAAAGH! Energy.
* ScaryBlackMan: Subverted. Kitten assumes that the Salamanders are not as well-regarded as the Ultramarines because they are black (that is to say, coal-black, not black like the actual human skin tones) and red-eyed, but he notes the Salamanders are among the nicest Space Marines in the Imperium, and some of the few people in it who care about the common folk. The Emperor, who doesn't remember the Salamanders being black, assumes at first that Kitten is being racist. Vulkan further subverts the trope by being even bigger than the other Salamanders, and a LoveFreak.
* StupidGood: The Emperor considers him "too fucking nice", and judging by his behavior, it's '''really''' not hard to see why. For example, he had absolutely no reason to believe Magnus had turned to the side of the Imperium again; for all he knew, he was still one of the most powerful and proactive traitor Primarchs in the entire galaxy. His first reaction upon seeing him was ''still'' forgiving the hell out of him with no hard feelings at all. Granted, he's suffering from SanitySlippage, but it's implied he was only ''slightly'' better about it before it.
** He does subvert the trope in one sense, as he is the only one to believe that the Emperor has redeemed Magnus and reformed the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition. This type of optimism would normally be idiotic at best and suicidal at worst in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40K, but in this case he's actually completely correct.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Has died twice onscreen explicitly, and two more times in implication (and counting), but as a side effect of his ResurrectiveImmortality, Vulkan can't stay dead for long.
* TooDumbToLive: Vulkan, when the Guardsmen say that that toad you want to pet is extremely toxic to the point where even completely sealed armor is ineffective at stopping it, you do not boop it. Needless to say, [[TheyKilledKennyAgain he dies,]] then comes back a little while later.
** Vulkan actually seems rather prone to reckless actions that could easily kill him. Being a [[ResurrectiveImmortality Perpetual]] likely means that he simply has no survival instincts as he ''can't'' die permanently.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Being a Perpetual, he can't die. When Magnus questions how he's not dead, Vulkan just said that being dead is "boring" and all his friends were here, being alive.
-->'''Vulkan''': Why am I alive? [[InsaneTrollLogic Why would I want to be dead? Being alive is FUN! All my FRIENDS are here!]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: In Episode 25, he suddenly has a vaguely Jamaican accent. Except when he slips into the mangled Cockney accent of an Ork.

[[folder:Corvus Corax]]
!!Corvus Corax, Primarch of the Raven Guard
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/corvus_emo.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"IT'S TOO BRIGHT! I WANNA GO BACK IN THE BOX!"]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Zolken91 Fresh]]
One of the 20 Primarchs, the genetically-modified, superhuman children of the Emperor. Specifically, Primarch of the Raven Guard. After having been trapped in the Engine of Woes for several millennia, Corvus was released by accident by Magnus. He's also absurdly emo too.
----
* AdaptationDeviation: In canon, Corvus flew into the Warp to hunt for his traitorous brothers, and he has spent the last ten thousands of years doing so. Here it's implied that he was instead shoved into the Engine of Woes by Vulkan at some point after the Heresy and has remained stuck there since.
* AdaptationalWimp: Yes, he's a Primarch, but it still applies, as part of his different fate here. In canon, after thousands of years in the Warp, Corvus became a terrifying force of psychic powers, bordering on EldritchAbomination (though he can return to his mortal form at will) able to beat and nearly kill the Daemonic Lorgar. Here, nothing indicates that he has attained such power.
* AFatherToHisMen: Addresses member of the Raven guard as "my children" and gives them a RousingSpeech upon meeting them again. Before his HeroicSacrifice, he gives them a pep talk encouraging them to continue on fighting.
* BadassInDistress: After an extremely toxic toad lands on his head, it’s assumed nobody can save him. [[spoiler: Nobody but Sly Marbo, that is.]]
* BeardOfSorrow: He wouldn't be angsty enough without a shaggy beard.
* BerserkButton: Two obvious ones as of now:
** Traitors, like Magnus, since he is a loyalist.
** Oligarchs, like the ones from Jopall. He fought against similar tyrants on Kiavahr, and in his own words, "Forcing your people to pay off a debt from birth does naught but engender ire."
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He remarks that his trip with Vulkan is "the worst idea for a spin-off ever" and in general, seems to understand that he's in a work of fiction.
* CardboardPrison: He gave up almost instantly after Vulkan locked him in the Engine of Woes, a cruddy ancient automobile, believing that it would serve as a suitable punishment for his various failures as a Primarch.
* CharacterDevelopment: Already undergoes this in his second appearance, going from dismissing the Imperial Guard at the beginning of Bro Trip Episode 1 to fully recognizing their value and worth at the end. Being saved by one of them (albeit a hilariously overpowered one) certainly helps.
* TheComicallySerious: A very angsty man in a very ridiculous universe that doesn't pass up the chance to make him the butt of a joke.
* DeadpanSnarker: On the rare occasion he isn't angsting, he can be surprisingly snarky, usually in regard to Vulkan's [[LoveFreak peppiness]].
* DeathSeeker: Corvus privately admits that he just wants to die, but his loyalty to his father, sons, and loyalist brothers means that he must continue to fight on, no matter how much he welcomes death. When he's told Atilla will be subjected to Exterminatus with himself still on it, all he can say is "Fucking ''finally."''
* TheDreaded: As a Primarch, Corvus is so powerful that the Masque of Slaanesh, a powerful daemon, opts to flee right after seeing him rather than even trying to fight him.
* DullSurprise: He doesn't seem all that bothered by Vulkan being dead at all. In fact, he compares it to the Drop Site Massacre and comments that all they'd need to complete it would be Ferrus's skull. He's also just as nonchalant when Vulkan comes back to life. Although this ''is'' [[ResurrectiveImmortality Vulkan]] we're talking about.
* EnragedByIdiocy: Like his father and brother Magnus, the sheer foolishness of the Imperium grates on him heavily. It also extends to the universe in general, which is part of why he remains TheComicallySerious.
* FailedASpotCheck: How DID that toad get on his head without him noticing?
* FantasticRacism: ''BRO TRIP 40,000: A Tale of Two Primarchs'' shows him having a bit of a low opinion on the Imperial Guard (A.K.A. "The Wall of Guns"), thinking them expendable at worst and at best, like the Catachan Jungle Fighters, redundant and better off being made Space Marines. Fortunately, after [[spoiler: his life gets saved by Sly Marbo]], he sees the value in the Imperial Guard and grows out of his disdain.
* {{Foil}}: To Vulkan. Both were in darkness for many millennia, both see Ferrus, and both are rather insane. However, while Vulkan constantly disagrees with Brainghost Ferrus and is extremely cheerful, Corvus is agrees with him and is straight up depressed. Vulkan also forgives Magnus (and everyone for that matter) while Corvus doesn't forgive Magnus at all (or himself, for that matter.)
* HeroicBSOD: Has a brief depression over the nonsense around him on Attila, upon discovering the only Astropath they have is [[spoiler:an ass - not [[JerkAss annoying]], a literal psychic donkey. This works most of the time but the current problem is that Horse doesn't have a word for "Exterminatus."]]
* HeroicSacrifice: When an extremely deadly Greater Catachan Barking Toad - which will [[ActionBomb detonate like a grenade]] and spread super-lethal toxins over an area in excess of a kilometer if agitated even slightly - attaches itself to Corvus's head, the primarch attempts to save his companions by activating his jetpack and flying up into the atmosphere with the toad. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted, as Sly Marbo [[BigDamnHeroes saves Corvus at the last moment]].]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Never misses an opportunity to talk himself down. Like Vulkan, he can also see Ferrus as well, and doesn't disagree with the latter's accusations.
* HumbleHero: A given since HeroicSelfDeprecation is a core part of his character. Also, when he is saved from certain death from a Greater Catachan Barking Toad by Sly Marbo, the first thing he does after he recovers from his shock is to unhesitatingly ''bow'' to the mortal who saved him. This also marks the point at which he begins to fully appreciate the Imperial Guard.
* IntangibleMan: His armor's technology allows him to phase through things, which makes the question of how he got stuck in the Engine of Woe rather funny.
* ItsPersonal: Wants to kill Magnus for being a traitor. Oh, and murdering Vulkan too.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's standoffish, aloof, and somewhat dismissive of normal humans, but he's fatherly towards his Chapter, cares deeply about his (loyal) family, and [[spoiler:unhesitangly respects the Catachans after one of them saves him from a Barking Toad.]]
* KingInTheMountain: Parodied in that he had no intention of actually escaping the Engine of Woe, but later played straight when he (incidentally) begins gathering the armies of mankind to "save" Terra from Magnus, righting wrongs along the way.
* NoSell: Despite being far from the meatiest of the Primarchs, he still shrugs off some pretty huge amounts of damage, as one rather stupid Jopallian commissar trying to execute him finds out. His response to being blasted on full-auto with [[{{BFG}} an Autocannon]] is a disinterested "those clap pretty hard", with the actual rounds having about as much effect as paintballs.
* OhCrap: He rather loudly and understandably freaks out when he realizes that a [[ActionBomb Greater Catachan Barking Toad]] landed on his head.
* PurpleProse: His poetry already qualifies, and he has a tendency to outright speak like this when he gets going. He seems to call it "extrapolating", and gets mildly upset when interrupted.
* RebelLeader: Incites the Jopallians to fight against their oppressive upper class.
* RedOniBlueOni: The emo, brooding Blue to Vulkan's upbeat, cheery Red.
* SignatureScent: Several people comment on how he smells of ammonia, to the point that it attracts a toxic frog to him and Kadus initially thinks he returned because something was wrong with his waste-disposal system.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He has the tendency to swing between PurpleProse and the sort of terms used by actual {{Emo Teen}}s.
-->''How forebodingly, excruciatingly ''super'' distressing.''
* StraightMan: Most of his scenes revolve around him playing this to the goofiness and insanity of those around him, especially but not exclusively his brother Vulcan.
* VocalEvolution: Sounded like an EmoTeen during his first appearance in Episode 21. In subsequent appearances, his voice has become deeper and clearer so he now sounds like an Emo Adult.
* WeakenedByTheLight: After spending ages inside a pitch black box, he reacts to sunlight as if it was painful.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He's remarkably quick on the uptake and during the ''BRO TRIP 40,000: A Tale of Two Primarchs'' first episode he pieces together a picture of what's going on through information he only had about a minute at most to gather. Unfortunately, he's currently LockedOutOfTheLoop on Magnus' returning to the fold and the Emperor's edicts.

-->'''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/galiant609 Stringstorm]]
The ghost of Ferrus Manus, who haunts the mentally unstable Vulkan and Corvus.
----
* CatchPhrase: ''"YOU ARE WEEEAAAAK, (Insert Name Here)!"''
* FogFeet: He's depicted with Ferrus' face on a cartoony ghost's body.
--> '''Vulkan:''' He is like a skull ghost. [[{{Portmanteau}} A skost!]]
* HatedByAll: [[LoveFreak Vulkan]] can't stand him. [[spoiler:The spin-off implies that this is because Brain Ghost Ferrus isn't actually the real Ferrus Manus.]]
* KilledOffForReal: Potentially, assuming he's not just a hallucination. He really is dead-dead. In canon, he got his head chopped off by Fulgrim at the Drop Site Massacre, and in-series Corvus (who was ''at'' the Drop Site Massacre) makes particular mention of Ferrus's severed skull.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Vulkan and Corvus can see him, but Magnus and Kitten can't and presumably no one else can either. The exact reason as to ''why'' this is the case is currently unknown, though coincidentally both Primarchs were at the Drop Site Massacre where Ferrus died...
* TheSocialDarwinist: He had a survival of the fittest mindset and believed all weakness in the human species needed to be destroyed... at least that's what the Emperor thinks. Vulkan later lampshades the fact, in reality, Ferrus knew full well the strength of flesh and that the Iron Hands' obsession with augmentation was unhealthy.
* SpiritAdvisor: Spirit ''demotivator'' in this case. He derides both Vulkan and Corvus for being "weak". Vulkan later tells the ghost off for saying such things as they are the exact ''opposite'' of what the real Ferrus Manus would say.

Corvus's legion (now chapter), just as depressing and eloquent as he is.
----
* AnimalMotifs: The raven, obviously, though when distressed they actually ''caw'' like ravens.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Kayvaan and Kadus are both wearing highly antiquated suits of Mark VI: ''Corvus'' power armor despite the existence of the superior Mark VII: ''Aquila'' and Mark VIII: ''Errant'' Armors. Doesn't make them any less badass, and is rather common among the Raven Guard.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Raven Guard is one of the more heroic and honourable Space Marine chapters, despite dressing in black armour and favoring stealth and covert operations.
* FailedASpotCheck: To their horror, they somehow miss the extremely toxic toad climbing on [[spoiler: Corvus]]'s head.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Kayvaan apologizes to Vulkan for being "too approachable" when Vulkan tries to apologize for [[AndCallHimGeorge hugging him too tight.]] They get it from their father.
* IncrediblyLameFun: Their idea of a "celebration" is basically taking 19-day naps.
* InelegantBlubbering: After [[spoiler:Corvus is saved from death by Sly Marbo]], Kayvaan runs towards him while ''bawling his goddamn eyes out''. It's understandable too, considering he [[spoiler:almost lost [[FatherToHisMen his Primarch]] so soon after getting him back.]]
* PurpleProse: Though not as overt about it as Corvus, they also like to "extrapolate."
* VerbalTic: Kadus occasionally lets out an "ooaaa~" sound before his sentences.
* WolverineClaws: They're famous for using Lightning Claws, powered gauntlets fitted with three or four razor-sharp Adamantium blades, which they use to great effect against Slaaneshi daemons.

The regiment of the Imperial guard recruited from the planet of Catachan.
----
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Whoever has the biggest knife is in charge. They recognize [[spoiler:Corvus]] as a Primarch because he's covered in knives.
* AwesomeAussie: Colonel Straken's accent is markedly different from the rest of the troops.
* DeepSouth: Evidently, the Catachan accent is an import from Terra because they speak like stereotypical American southerners.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: At least one of the guards sounds like he's "enjoying" the sight of [[spoiler:Corvus]]'s knives - as in, the blades on his armor appear to be arousing the guardsman.
* InnocentInnuendo: Not that it doesn't creep [[spoiler:Corvus]] out any less but their knife-measuring contests are apparently about literal knives instead of something else.
* KnifeNut: As per usual the Catachan have knives of differing lengths that show their rank from the Bowie Knife-esque [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/5/5c/Catachan_Fang2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130216011541 Catachan Fang]] to the Machete or Sword-like [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/0/0a/Devil%27s_Claw2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130216011920 Devil's Claw]] made up of Metals from Catachan itself.
* MadeOfIron: In terms of the tabletop game, a Catachan Jungle Fighter wearing ''jack shit'' above the waist has the same toughness as a suit of Carapace Armor, which is designed to handle shots from ''[[{{BFG}} Space Marine Bolters]]''. This toughness comes from being raised on the DeathWorld that is Catachan, and impresses the Space Marines accompanying Corvus and Vulkan into wondering why Catachans aren't recruited as Space Marines themselves.
* RatedMForManly: From their big knives to their big muscles to their fighting off daemon hordes with bravery, they have a high "marketability". They're actually targeted by a Slaaneshi daemonette for their insanely well-built biceps (as in, she tears their arms off for their muscles). Gunnery Sergeant "Stonetooth" Harker one ups them all by being not only bigger and buffer than his fellows, but also by wielding a ''goddamned Heavy Bolter like it's a simple LMG'' [[labelnote:*]]To clarify, a regular Bolter would be considered a heavy weapon by an average human. A Heavy Bolter is considered a heavy weapon by ''Space Marines''.[[/labelnote]]
* NoPronunciationGuide: Lampshaded, as Catachan is pronounced "Cat-a-chan" and "Cat-a-can" by different people.
* OhCrap: Upon finding a Catachan Barking Toad, as they explode and release an ''extremely'' toxic gas. It's actually fairly easy to avoid dying from the lesser ones, but [[MassOhCrap the greater ones...]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: A wholesome example, as they don't behave overly-sexual about their semi-nudity. It is exploited by their superiors in the Imperial Guard, who use them in propaganda.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Every single guardsman's manliness is used for humor. It is a subject of a digression in the first [=BroTrip=] episode.
* VocalDissonance: Sgt. Harker is an immense mountain of a muscle and ridiculously manly even by Catachan standards, as detailed above, but he has a distinctly high-pitched, somewhat soft-spoken voice.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Barring Sly Marbo and the guardswomen (the latter of whom wear bikini tops, displaying their six-pack abs).

* AutomatonHorses: Literal in the case of Mogul Kamir’s cybernetic steed.
* BornInTheSaddle: Horse-riding nomads based on the Mongols. The planetary capital isn’t so much a “city” as a mass of tents.
* ThePigPen: The only people Vulkan doesn’t hug at first sight, because they refuse to bathe.
* SchizoTech: Even moreso than the rest of the Imperium; they ride horses into battle with hovertanks.
* SkullCups: The king’s robes are covered in skulls with the tops cut off for drinking, and his concern on hearing of imminent Exterminatus is that his collection will be destroyed.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Their astropath is an ass, a literal one. Unfortunately, the equine tongue is inadequate to conveying the concept of planetary annihilation.

The regiment of the Imperial Guard recruited from the miserable, hyper-capitalist agri-world of Jopall. After some words of inspiration from Corvus Corax, they stage a coup against their corrupt governor, led by Private Pesh and Private Hox, and reorganize themselves into a mercenary company to fund their new government.
----
* CrapsaccharineWorld: As an Agri World, Jopall is kept in rather good shape - not just [[DamnedByFaintPraise "by Imperial standards"]], actually good shape, it helps with growing crops - but it's run by an absolutely ''nightmarish'' MegaCorp that is hubristic enough to enslave a ''Primarch'' and is patrolled by some of the most stupid excuses for Commissars in the Imperium. It says something that the Imperial Guard launching a coup and realizing they're going to have to turn to mercenary legions to keep the Ordo Hereticus off their backs long enough to convince the Imperium to let them back in is an unambiguously happy ending, because [[FateWorseThanDeath continuing as is]] was ''that'' untenable.
* DeepSouth: Jopall's elite, in particular Lance Cashpants, speak in this accent, likely to help get across that they're effectively slave owners.
* IndenturedServitude: Naturally, everyone on the planet was born indebted and one of the ways to get out of it is to join the Imperial Guard.
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: ''Asstart Spagle Mens'', off brand Space Marines that are actually just Gland Warriors. Naturally, they have [[Franchise/{{Halo}} SPARTAN Helmets]] and [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear wings]].
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: Downplayed. The Guard quickly realizes they're going to have to turn to some amoral means to fund their new government, but no one has a problem with them executing their leaders - they were just that bad.

Vulkan's legion, now chapter, the Salamanders specialise in fire, friendship, fire, adventure and more fire.
----
%%%%%%* BadassCape: Tu'shan and He'stan sport these.
* BladeOnAStick: Forgefather He'stan's spear.
* {{Catchphrase}}: '''VULKAN LIVES!!!''' [[ResurrectiveImmortality Usually when he comes back to life after dying.]]
** Tu'Shan has a booming "HA-HA-HA!" laugh whenever he's really joyous (which includes the above revivals).
* DropTheHammer: Tu'Shan and the Firedrakes each wield war hammers.
* FloweryElizabethanEnglish: Tu'Shan speaks only this way - even after his ship crashes and he emerges from the wreckage, he has to exclaim a 'forsooth' before puzzledly asking 'What in yon ''fuck'' happened?'.
* GoodIsDumb: One of the most heroic chapters still operational and achingly dim in many respects.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Or at least, very very deaf. The Ultramarines are able to "sneak" past the Firedrakes, with their motif blasting away, and they cannot hear a thing. Kitten runs up to them and yells at the top of his lungs, and they cannot hear a thing (in that case, it might have been Kitten's sudden and inexplicable heavy accent).
* HeavySleeper: He'stan is able to sleep through the Ultramarines bursting through the Fortress Monastery with their motif on full volume.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Tu'Shan seems to take a lot after Vulkan, judging by his friendly demeanor, his enthusiasm for adventure and the fact that he calls other Space Marines "cousin-friends", much like Vulkan calls other Primarchs "brother-friends".
* NiceGuy: Some of the few extant in the entire setting, being dedicated to saving the lives of all Imperial citizens. They've even fought with other ''Loyal'' Space Marine Chapters for treating the citizens of the Imperium as meat-shields and/or acceptable losses.
** This only goes double with their relationship with their Primarch, Vulkan. They're absoulutely overjoyed when he returns, horrified when he apparently dies, and overjoyed again when he pops back up. According to WordOfGod, Vulkan spent some time giving each and every member of his chapter a hug when he returned.
* NoIndoorVoice: Some of the guards have a tendency to be rather loud when speaking.
* OnlySaneMan: He'Stan has his moments, generally having more awareness of what's going on than his fellow Salamanders (and sometimes even more than everyone else in the room, including Primarchs). Examples include catching on to the Emperor's apparent taste for aesthetics over effectiveness, the "marketability" (for admitted lack of a better word on his end) of the [[TestosteronePoisoning Catachans]], and the following interjection when everyone else is considering celebrating the return of the two Primarchs:
-->'''He'Stan:''' Pardon my petulance, but need I remind you that '''''[[SuddenlyShouting TERRA IS IN JEOPARDY!?]]'''''
* PyroManiac: The Emperor, upon hearing of how pyrocentric their rituals are, wonders if he did not place their test tube too close to a candle.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He'stan, upon seeing the apparently dead body of Vulkan, makes a girly squeal.
* UltimateBlacksmith: Kitten is quick to point out the abundance of master-crafted weaponry that the Chapter has made.

A menial naval worker with big dreams. Specifically, killing a Primarch.
----
* AffablyEvil: Unfailingly polite to everyone he meets, and is sincerely sorry to extort the Salamanders. The Jopallians find it hard to believe that someone so nice could be evil.
* BadassNormal: A somewhat downplayed example, as physically he is probably the weakest character in the series except for Boy, but his wit makes up for that. He has friends in high places and is apparently sneaky enough to elude even the ''Raven Guard.''
* BigBad: Shaping up to be this to the Bro Trip spinoff.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[DownplayedTrope While he goes through with it anyways]], he feels dirty for having Cashpants placing them in so much debt and red tape that Vulkan would die before he could be saved from the Life-Eater Virus. He even apologizes to them, as he original plan should have settled things.
* ForTheEvulz: The apparent reason he wants to kill a Primarch. He's not even doing this in the service of Chaos, he just personally wants to do so, [[DisappointedByTheMotive to Corvus Corax's dismay]].
* InexplicablyAwesome: A perpetually-cheery Menial who, in order, somehow gathers enough high-ranking 'friends' under his banner to OK an Exterminatus at his will, casually walks onto the bridge of a Light Cruiser, admits his plans to crash it with all hands aboard to the captain, somehow proceeds to do so, somehow survives the crash, has his 'friends' launch aforementioned Exterminatus knowing full well [[TakingYouWithMe he'll be killed too]], and then somehow [[StealthHiBye escape any punishment under the nose of four Space Marines and Corvus Corax]] when his plans are foiled. He then somehow beats them to Jopall and ingratiates himself with the governor with nothing more than a sandwich and a few nice words, to the point he lands himself on the management board, who tangle Corvus, He'stan, and Tu'shan with so much red tape that they can't help a dying Vulkan. Why does he do this? He dreams of killing a Primarch, a dream that [[TheBadGuyWins he actually accomplishes THRICE]]: Vulkan died in the crash, then sacrifices himself to stop the Exterminatus, then succumbs to the Life-Eater Virus of the missile. Seriously, Sly Marbo at least has military training: ''who in the Warp is this 'Clancy' guy?!''
* ShadowArchetype: He's this to Vulkan. They're both friendly and garner friends through their kindness, but while Vulkan is a Loyalist Primarch who serves for the Emperor, Clancy is a menial human only cares about his own desires, which is called out on by Vulkan.
* VillainousUnderdog: He's a [[InexplicablyAwesome supposedly]] ordinarily human of menial rank up agains Primarchs, who are demigods that can make [[TheLegionsOfHell armies of daemons]] flee in terror at their mere presence, and their BadassArmy of [[SuperSoldier Space Marines]] and the most renowned BadassNormal forces in the Imperium. Yet his politeness has allowed him to get away [[spoiler:with killing Vulkan ''three times'', one of which might have actually have been [[BeyondTheImpossible permanent]] had it not been for Vulkan's connection to the Ork Gestalt Consciousness.]]

[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tts4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:180:The Proud (and stressed) Captain]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [=HulkyKrow=]
The Rogue Trader who commands the ''Debt Collector''. In general, he is a charismatic and effective leader when he isn't busy reigning in his subordinates' more eccentric behaviors.
----
* TheAlcoholic: The hardest-drinking member of the group, often responding to any high-stress situation with [[INeedAFreakingDrink a swig from his flask.]] It is implied his... interesting choice of attire for the group having a meeting with nobles was influenced by copious amounts of liquor.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Has a habit of recruiting at least some people from every world they've ended up on so far with very little exception, usually either from the enemy's oppressed victims or the enemy itself, which currently includes ''an actual '''Drukhari'''''. Of course, he doesn't care nearly enough about them to know whether or not they've been jettisoned from the airlock.
* {{Doorstopper}}: Has a book about manners and etiquette called "Zedequette" that is apparently close to 800 pages long.
* TheFace: Is the captain of the ship and arguably the most responsible one among the party, though that's barely saying much.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: His reaction to pretty much anything stressful or outlandish. Upon seeing π-Braine walking onto the bridge of his ship inexplicably ''covered in blood,'' he takes out a flask and completely drains the contents. After the group later fixes an issue in the ''Debt Collector's'' sewage tank which involved a battle with massive corrupted grubs and mites and a near-encounter with an ''[[TalkingPoo Excremental]]'', he orders a much-needed shower servitor to his quarters... followed by an alcohol servitor.
* {{Irony}}: Rogue Traders tend to be the most eccentric, most friendly and accepting to Xenos, and most well-equipped people in the Imperium. He's the sanest and most normal member of the team. The only hint at his Rogue Trader status is his instant acceptance and kindness to the Ratlings and other strange characters he meets.
* PungeonMaster: Has a tendency to crack puns whenever he can, some deliberate, others unintentional.
* TheSlacker: Has apparently put off doing any number of fixes for ''The Debt Collector'' for so long that the issues the ship faces are currently in the mid-''hundreds''.
* StraightMan: Has to look after the party due to their rambunctious nature, whether it be Braine's eccentricity or Lorn's rage.
* WardrobeMalfunction: A specific complication gave him ripped pants that he tried in vain to hide for several sessions, which only got progressively worse as the in-game day went on, to the point it's become a RunningGag.

[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tts2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:178:The Inquisitorial babysitter.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Earndril=]
An Inquisitorial Acolyte who has a fixation on medicine and Xenos biology. He joined the crusade to study Xenos, which he takes to with gusto whenever he gets the opportunity, and also serves as a medical officer for the party.
----
* BrilliantButLazy: Has a tendency for this, since his primary interests are xenobiology and medicine, and mostly ignores everything else.
-->'''π-Braine, exasperated:''' YOU ARE THE LEAST-CURIOUS INQUISITORIAL ACOLYTE EVER!
* BerserkButton: Even as an acolyte, he takes his job seriously, and slights against the Imperium of Man, even if unintentionally, make him absolutely '''livid,''' as Rubania finds out.
--> '''Reeb''': It is the ''Imperium!'' The ''Imperium of Man!'' Not the ''"Schlimporium,"'' not the ''"Bimporium"'', not the ''"Bempire"'', the '''''IMPERIUM OF MAN!''''', and I am a member of the Inquisition, '''''GET IT RIGHT!!!''''' (''Earndril at this point makes a quick OOC declaration to clarify that Reeb is in fact shaking with anger.'')
* CombatMedic: Due to his surgical skills, he's ended up the medical officer for the party.
* DamagerHealerTank: As the only member of the crew with any sort of medical knowledge he fits as the healer.
* KillItWithFire: His weapon of choice is a flamethrower.
* TheLancer: Far more composed than anybody else on the ship, to the point of almost seemingly constantly distracted.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Has an old copy of [[Magazine/WhiteDwarf White Dwarf]] in his tools that he uses to reference obscure variations on humanity.
* NightmareFetishist: He is absolutely fascinated by Xenos biology no matter the source, whether it be Orks or mole-monsters, an attitude that would be deemed borderline heretical in the Inquisition.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Things that others would find truly repungant tend only to fascinate him, and he never hesitates to get elbow-deep in the innards of a fresh (or not-so-fresh) kill to find out how it ticks. So it says a lot when, after succeeding a Medicae test on one of the walls of Rubania's palatial towers to determine its composition, the answer he recieves (via Thurston privately messaging Earndril with the result) causes him to ''immediately'' become [[EveryoneHasStandards horrified and uncomfortable]], to the point that he almost seems to have to restrain himself from shouting at Rubania in outrage. [[spoiler: It isn't until a few episodes later that we find out what disgusted him so, when they confront Rubania again:]]
--> '''Reeb''': [[spoiler:(''absolutely furious'') ''Your walls are made of '''pus!''''']]
* SanityBall: His love of dissecting xenos and unknown creatures aside, he's the one more commonly calling out the party's [[AxCrazy murder hobo]] nature and frequently reigning in Pi-Braine's more murderous nature. Usually by [[DopeSlap striking him in the back of the head.]]
* SquishyWizard: Less so than Lorn since he actually has a decent resilience score, but so far he's nearly been pushed to zero wounds twice and generally does better on the back lines.
* StateSec: Training to be this since he is only an Inquisitorial Acolyte. He doesn't have his Inquisitor's Rosette yet but is working towards it.

[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tts1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:180:Lemuria's Finest... and by that we mean the most aggressive.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Randolph Carter
A proud Skitarii Ranger from the Forge World of Lemuria that acts as the party's tech expert. He is armed with a power sword, a radium pistol, and a... "high strung" attitude.
----
* AndThisIsFor: He often shouts out the name of his forge world when engaging in battle.
* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' insult his Forge World. Lorn and Reeb barely managed to keep him from attacking an ''Imperial Tech Priest'' when she said Forge World Lemuria creates ''sub-standard'' tech.
** Don't remind him he's not actually a Tech-Priest yet. He gets unusually weepy and defensive about it.
** Low-technology enviornments make him especially....testy, as poor Mayor Hogpin found out.
--> '''Braine''': ''I cannot endure this!'' [A sequence of events takes place involving Brain attempting to pick the Mayor up but due to a bad roll instead ends up ''dropping him through a food table''] Listen here, you ''Sixteen-piece Chicken'' ''[=McNobody=]''! I don't care about your ''turkey-basting gluttony,'' I wanna know, where the '''''god-damned Tech Priest has gone!''''' And you're going to tell me, or ''by the Motive Force,'' I'll have you, and your entire...nnngh-''Amish community of...'''Luddite electrolysts PURGED FROM MEMORY!'''''
* {{BFS}}: His Power Sword. He substitutes it for a "Grate Sword" (as in, [[{{Pun}} a greatsword made out of a grate]]) during the Prison arc. He gets a real one in an Eviscerator later on to inevitably replace it.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Pi will slaughter millions of innocent Imperials at the drop of a hat because, in his mind, their souls will just be recycled by the Motive Force and it's no big loss, which is why he's so skeeved out and unusually cautious around Daemonic corruption: the souls and machine spirits of the damned ''don't.''
* CloudCuckooLander: Oh ''yes'', even by the standards of a TTS character; he goes near-insane from being in an open field with no metal, threatens multiple people with death for not having ''any'' higher technology on their world, and is currently trying to induct a child into the Cult Mechanicus.
* {{Cyborg}}: As befits a Skitarius of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
* DamagerHealerTank: Fits as both damage and tank; he has the single highest defense and resilience in the party, as befits his cybernetic nature, so he can take a lot more punishment than the rest of the party, [[spoiler:and he was able to effectively one-shotted the Divine Lord of War with a good crit on his power sword.]]
* DramaticGunCock: Does one when he ends up getting his hands on a Plasma Rifle. Immediately parodied, as he starts doing it for simple sentences, which gives everyone else pause as it's effectively charging a weapon well-known for its explosive consequences for overcharging.
* TheFaceless: Thus far the only hints of his appearance we have seen are his big glowing eyeports. The rest of his face is shrouded in the shadows of his hood, but given that he's a Skitarius there might not be much of a face under there anyway.
* FighterMageThief: Fits as the Fighter, given his proficiency with his Power Sword and his high defense and resilience.
* ManOnFire: Fire is perhaps the ''single'' greatest threat to Pi [[ArmorPiercingAttack since it ignores most of his absurdly high defenses and resilience]], and as such Pi catching fire during any given combat encounter is starting to become a RunningGag.
* NonPromotion: Before he left Lemuria, he was given the title of honorary Explorator for the Forge World, under the impression that if he brought anything useful back from the crusade, the actual rank would stick. ''He'' interpreted it as an actual promotion, and is often furious with anyone who points out the obvious fact that he isn't officially a Techpriest.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While the ''Debt Collector'' is being attacked by fighters and an Orbital Defense System while low on ammo, Braine has an idea which involves working with [=GaMu=]-2442 to stop them. And is willing to put his enmity aside to make the plan work. Lorn highlights how serious it is.
** On a Meta level, when [[spoiler:cornered by Death Cult Assassins about to poison the water supply of a planet]], Randolph Carter makes a narrative action to declare that the water pumps are made on Lemuria and thus '''[[ShoddyKnockoffProduct substandard]]'''. All the players plus Thurston are amazed.
* PatrioticFervor: Is fiercely loyal to Forge World Lemuria.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Goes on one [[spoiler:against the Divine Lords when he finds out that they murdered the Tech-Priest who accompanied them to keep her from squealing to the Imperium about their plot.]]
* StealthPun: His name is "Pi Brain", and he's irrational.

[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tts3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:178:The power of the Immaterium, flowing through your demented grandfather]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [=ZoranTheBear=]
A sanctioned psyker hailing from Fenris, Lorn possesses a degree of psychic mastery that makes him an invaluable member of the team. Now if only they could work on his attitude...
----
* AccentSlipUp: Occasionally he reverts to his native Fenrisian accent.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: He is a psyker from [[https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Fenris Fenris]] but '''''has no idea what a Primarch is.'''''
** Both a case of RuleOfFunny (because Lorn is a crazy old man) ''and'' ShownTheirWork.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fenris only has a population of less than 4 million across an entire frozen hellscape of a DeathWorld, and the Space Wolves' Fortress-Monastary is at the north pole on the planet's only permanent landmass, where only an ''extreme'' minority of its populace live, to the point that the Wolves themselves are considered legendary in lore to the tribes of Fenris. It is entirely possible he lived most of his life on Fenris without ever knowing one of the most renowned Space Marine Chapters and Primarchs came from where he lived.[[/labelnote]]
** Has another one with the downtime that he and π-Braine share: π-Braine has gone on a rampage slaughtering innocent civilians in the underdecks of the ''Debt Collector'', whereas Lorn has taken it upon himself to attempt to solve these mysterious deaths, completely unaware that his companion is the culprit. Zoran and Randolph repeatedly joke that they keep passing each other and exchanging pleasantries in the halls.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Lorn is bored to tears in practically any non-mission or non-combat situation, to the point that they have given him a "Vox Boy" to play with while everybody else does their thing.
* CloudCuckooLander: He once tried to channel the powers of the Immaterium through a Power Sword to turn Braine into a ''radio antenna''. Yeah, the powers of the Warp and his age might've cooked his noggin a bit.
* CoolOldGuy: When he isn't being a GrumpyOldMan, he's actually quite affable and has taken something of a shine to Tater Tot that seems focused on making the Ratling child an effective citizen of the Imperium rather than brainwashing him like Braine is trying to do.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Lorn is a psyker whose entire ability list is almost all damaging skills, with very little stated ability or interest in more practical psyker skills. Given where he's from, however, it makes sense that he'd have learned how to use his powers for defense only.
* EccentricMentor: Heavy on the Eccentric, but he was considered a respected elder back on Fenris.
* FighterMageThief: Solidly the mage, being the only psyker in the group and using the powers of the Warp to turn his opponents into meatballs and fly around.
* GrumpyOldMan: Despite what was stated under CoolOldGuy, when Lorn first met Tater Tot he nearly strangled the child because of how stupid the naming conventions of his home world are[[labelnote:spoiler]]Grumble-Tum-Tum Farms is admittedly a stupid name[[/labelnote]]. Generally, it's pretty easy to get his dander up through sheer idiocy.
* PowerEchoes: Quite frequently when Lorn utilizes his psychic powers or is shocked, his voice proceeds to echo regardless of the acoustics of the current area he is in.
* SquishyWizard: He both has the lowest defense and resilience in the party as well as tying with Zedek for least amount of wounds, so needless to say he is best kept in the back. [[spoiler:Come Episode 13, however and this is VERY MUCH SUBVERTED. And then he goes back to normal at the end of Episode 14, though he can occasionally dip back into it thanks to Perils of the Warp.]]
* WizardClassic: With his robes, massive beard, age, and his ornate staff and amulet he has the look nearly to a T. All he really needs is the pointy hat to complete it.

[[folder:Lieutenant Ransum]]
Zedek's second-in-command of the ''Debt Collector'' who is left in charge while Zedek is off ship.
----
* BlueBlood: To the shock of Zedek, Ransum is pretty uncaring about the mysterious deaths in his menial crew, seeing them as low born and part of the lower classes. [[spoiler:In fact, it's been hinted that he and the noble-born command staff have been encouraging gang wars between the various niche groups that have formed in the bowels of the ''Debt Collector''.]]
* SilverFox: He is described as this, especially in comparison to Lorn. The latter has a momentary breakdown over this.

* SitcomArchNemesis: She has become this for π-Braine along with Graia by association.

* {{Expy}}: She's a near-exact copy of [[Franchise/MetalGear Naked Snake/Big Boss]], down to the cardboard box trick.
* EyepatchOfPower: Begins wearing one after dropping her initial disguise. It is unknown whether she actually needs it or not.
* ImprovisedTraining[=/=]TrainingFromHell: One time the group meets her aboard the ''Debt Collector'', she is found training the other ratlings by tying potatoes to one of them and having the rest chase him through the ship.
* StealthExpert: In later appearances she shows these skills with the classic [[MobileShrubbery Mobile Cardboard Box]] disguise.

* GiantWoman: When they meet in person she is noticeably taller than everyone else. It is implied this due to her being Voidborn and spending most of her time on starship vessels.
* NotSoStoic: She puts on the typical airs of the Oficio Ambassadorium, but she breaks it entirely when she reveals that she ''adores'' her Ratling cooking staff like one might love a dog or a cat, in spite of the Ratlings general...[[ThePigPen ratling-ness]].

!!Vulkan, Primarch of The Salamanders
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vulkantts.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:330:Congratulations, My Friends!]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTV5teR2iHwMUWKk597ZTig ComradeCrimson]]
One of the 20 Primarchs, the genetically-modified, superhuman children of the Emperor. Specifically, Primarch of the Salamanders. Prophesized to return when his chapter gathers all of his relics together.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: Just like Corvus Corax, he showed kindness and respect towards his Chapter's marines even to the point of treating and referring Tu'Shan and He'Stan as his own children in Jopall episode.
* AndCallHimGeorge: His hugs can make a Primarch start ''screaming in agony'', and he's very generous with them. WordOfGod says that after his return he gave a lot of hugs to his entire Chapter, and that many of them needed to visit the Apothecary afterwards.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Vulkan may be the friendliest person in the entire setting, but don't forget that he is a ''Primarch.'' His big, friendly hugs can still crush other Primarchs, let alone lesser mortals, and he is implied to have just forced Covus Corax into the Engine of Woes against his will. And don't forget that the reason why he's Orking out every now and then is because ''he'' engaged the Beast, perhaps the one creature that got closest to wiping out the Imperium, ''in hand to hand combat'' and [[HeroicSacrifice sort-of won]].
** He also burned Caldera to the ground when he found out that the humans there were worshiping Eldar Exodites, wiping the entire planet of all life. Nice guy or not, that certainly sends a message.
* CatchPhrase: ''Adventure!''
* CameBackWrong: Kinda. The closest he ever got to dying and having it stick was against the Beast, which he defeated by tackling it into an Ork Power Generator, which runs on pure WAAAAGH! energy. Thus, Magnus theorizes that his consciousness and the Ork gestalt consciousness have fused.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Vulkan is the only major leader in the Salamander-Raven Guard crusade who thinks that the Emperor really ''has'' redeemed Magnus and reformed the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition, which the others dismiss (probably because something like that would be too optimistic for, you know, Warhammer 40K). Of course, he's actually completely correct.
** In general he just seems to have a proper grasp of what people in this universe ''really'' are like. The above is one example, as he knows the Emperor would do something like that. Another is when Brainghost!Ferrus comes claiming that "FLESH IS WEEEEEEAK!" only for Vulkan to smack the shit out of him, coldly stating the real Ferrus would have said the opposite (and he's correct in it; Ferrus Manus was not nearly as much of a fan of cybernetic replacements as his legion thinks he was).
* CutenessProximity: His reaction to encountering an alien frog that he's just been warned will release a deadly toxin if threatened? An overwhelming compulsion to "boop de snoot".
-->'''Corvax''': Do not boop that merry suicide bomber.
* DumbassHasAPoint:
** When Corvus Corax argues that they should ignore the Catachan Guardsmen's call for help in favor of making to Terra as quickly as possible to stop Magnus the Red, Vulkan points out that if they rescue the Guardsmen they'll have more troops as part of their Crusade. While his intentions are more... idealistic than what Corax would prefer, his argument is completely valid, and even Corax admits it.
** He's also willing to consider the possibility that the Emperor has returned and has brought Magnus back into his fold, unlike Corax, pointing out how in-character the Emperor's supposed declarations are.
* EasilyForgiven: Upon seeing Magnus again, the first thing Vulkan wants to do is give him a hug. Specifically an "I'm not mad that you ruined everything forever" hug! And he doesn't hold Magnus accidentally ''killing'' him against him in the slightest, either.
** That being said, the "I'm not mad that you ruined everything forever" hug was exceptionally brutal and painful compared to the hug given to Corax, [[SubvertedTrope suggesting that Vulkan might have been just a little peeved with him]]. Made more ominous by the fact he apparently did not "finalise" this hug and is eager to do so (along with hugging the Emperor "ONE BRITTLE BONE AT A TIME"). Though this can be explained by the fact that Magnus's spine is still broken from his fight with Leman Russ and is very sensitive to violently affectionate Primarch-hugs.
* EvilBrit: When the Ork consciousness slips through, Vulkan's Jamaican accent becomes the usual Ork Cockney. Technically, all Orks are [[EvilBrit Evil Brits]], but here it is very apparent because of how much of a NiceGuy is Vulkan otherwise.
* FashionableAsymmetry: As you can see, one of his pauldrons is decorated with a giant salamander (the animal) skull.
* FromASingleCell: By his own admission he got [[LudicrousGibs splattered]] throughout space and time itself after his encounter with the Beast, and he managed to bounce back from it.
* {{Foil}}: To Corvus. Both were in darkness for many millennia, both see Ferrus and both are rather insane. However, while Vulkan constantly disagrees with Brainghost Ferrus and is extremely cheerful, Corvus is agrees with him and is straight up depressed. Vulkan also forgives Magnus (and everyone for that matter) while Corvus doesn't forgive Magnus at all (or himself, for that matter.)
* GoodAngelBadAngel: The ghost of Ferrus seems to act as the bad sort for him.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Being the only one with a ResurrectiveImmortality, Vulkan takes much more damage than any other being in the series. He even outright exploits it by tanking an [[EarthShatteringKaboom Exterminatus warhead]]. While this does leave him a charred husk by the end, barely able to speak, he ''does'' survive, and will no doubt regenerate in time. Downplayed in that he gets a nasty Life-Eater virus infection from that stunt, which becomes a serious problem in ''Jopallian Japes''.
* GotTheCallOnSpeedDial: Appears mere seconds after all the Artifacts are brought together. Apparently, going by the events in the story, bringing Vulkan's artifacts back to Prometheus was completely inconsequential - he had already been resurrected (he was even in Prometheus already); he just chose to return that moment so he could destroy all of the Artifacts, which he hated. Since he was already on-site, he jumped onto a dropship and launched himself down on a drop pod just to give the Salamanders a big, happy surprise.
* HealingFactor: Lesser injuries that don't kill him outright still heal quite fast. During the second Bro Trip episode, after the ship he's riding on crashes, one can actually see his bare skull grow back its skin and other varied flesh bits. [[spoiler:The life-eater virus placed in the bomb Clancy attacked them with however, turns out able to beat his regeneration, but Vulkan manages to survive, thanks to being infused with the Ork Gestalt conciseness, which suddenly makes him up disappear.]]
* HearingVoices: He hears (and sees) the ghost of his brother Ferrus Manus, who he keeps telling to shut up. Time will tell if it's the genuine article or a hallucination.
-->'''Vulkan:''' "Now I have returned! To bring peace and friendship through the entire Imperium! No matter what the voices in my head say!"
-->'''Ghost of Ferrus:''' "You are weeeak Vulkan!"
-->'''Vulkan:''' "Shut your not-face, brain ghost Ferrus! You are NOT friend..."
** The fact that Corvus Corax can see him too while Magnus can't raises many questions.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLMV9B3vq1A "For Friendship!"]], a theme as uplifting as the man himself.
* LoveFreak: Keeps going on about friendship and basically mentions "friendship" or "friend" in every sentence he says.
-->'''Vulkan''': I got nothin' but FRIENDLINESS for you, because you are my big friendly big brother friend!
* LudicrousGibs: The end result of his fight with the Beast and part of the reason it took so long for him to return was his body was exploded ''so hard'' that it spread across time and space itself. The only reason he's even ''alive'' is due to his ResurrectiveImmortality as a Perpetual.
* MentalFusion: Magnus posits that after Vulkan tackled the Beast into a reactor full of WAAAGH! energy and [[LudicrousGibs exploded]], a part of his mind and soul fused with the Ork gestalt consciousness, which accounts for his Ork episodes. The Emperor sums this up as stating Vulkan is now half-Ork.
* NiceGuy: But of course. He isn't even angry at Magnus for betraying them all, outright insulting what he's been doing (outright agreeing with him in that it's stupid) or ''killing him with the Engine of Woes'', and is generally just the most cheerful guy you could ever find, without a mean bone in his body.
** This extends to he and Corvus' spin-off, in which he suggests that perhaps the Emperor ''is'' the one who disbanded the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition. It doesn't work, but he tried. He's also the one who argues in favor of rescuing the Catachan Guardsmen from a Chaos Invasion; this time, he's much more successful.
* OhCrap: Has this when the Engine of Woes is hurtling towards him at a high speed with a resounding "OH ZOG!"
* ThePollyanna: The very fact that he lives in the TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 universe and has gruesomely died multiple times yet still keeps his cheery and optimistic demeanor makes him this. Though other characters wonder if this is due to some SanitySlippage.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Apparently friendship and teamwork and all that good stuff were necessary to finding the artifacts, according to him anyway. His belief in the power of friendship does, among other things, let him instantly tame any animal he comes across, even giant, savage beasts, and commune with psychic creatures.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Like all Salamanders, they make him look quite eerie, but unless you're the Imperium's enemy they don't mean he's any sort of threat to you. They do noticeably redden and bug out every time he has an Orky outburst, however.
* RedOniBlueOni: The upbeat, cheery Red to Corvus's emo, brooding Blue.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: He's a Perpetual, meaning that if he's killed, he'll eventually regenerate and return to life. Shown during the series when Magnus, in pain, hits him with the Engine of Woes so hard that it kills him and releases Corvus Corax from his imprisonment within. Within a few minutes he's up again and happy as ever. And again when he boops an extremely poisonous Catachan Barking Toad on the head and causes it to explode, killing him due to the poisonous toxins. Once again, after a few minutes, he is completely fine. Not even being ground zero for an Exterminatus will keep him down.
* SanitySlippage: Must've happened to him somewhere between Curze's torture, Ferrus's brain-ghost, and spending ten thousand years alone in a tiny corner of Prometheus, considering how obsessed he is with friendship. Episode 25 shows he also occasionally slips into Ork mannerisms, as a result of ramming the Beast into a reactor full of WAAAGH! Energy.
* ScaryBlackMan: Subverted. Kitten assumes that the Salamanders are not as well-regarded as the Ultramarines because they are black (that is to say, coal-black, not black like the actual human skin tones) and red-eyed, but he notes the Salamanders are among the nicest Space Marines in the Imperium, and some of the few people in it who care about the common folk. The Emperor, who doesn't remember the Salamanders being black, assumes at first that Kitten is being racist. Vulkan further subverts the trope by being even bigger than the other Salamanders, and a LoveFreak.
* StupidGood: The Emperor considers him "too fucking nice", and judging by his behavior, it's '''really''' not hard to see why. For example, he had absolutely no reason to believe Magnus had turned to the side of the Imperium again; for all he knew, he was still one of the most powerful and proactive traitor Primarchs in the entire galaxy. His first reaction upon seeing him was ''still'' forgiving the hell out of him with no hard feelings at all. Granted, he's suffering from SanitySlippage, but it's implied he was only ''slightly'' better about it before it.
** He does subvert the trope in one sense, as he is the only one to believe that the Emperor has redeemed Magnus and reformed the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition. This type of optimism would normally be idiotic at best and suicidal at worst in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40K, but in this case he's actually completely correct.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Has died twice onscreen explicitly, and two more times in implication (and counting), but as a side effect of his ResurrectiveImmortality, Vulkan can't stay dead for long.
* TooDumbToLive: Vulkan, when the Guardsmen say that that toad you want to pet is extremely toxic to the point where even completely sealed armor is ineffective at stopping it, you do not boop it. Needless to say, [[TheyKilledKennyAgain he dies,]] then comes back a little while later.
** Vulkan actually seems rather prone to reckless actions that could easily kill him. Being a [[ResurrectiveImmortality Perpetual]] likely means that he simply has no survival instincts as he ''can't'' die permanently.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Being a Perpetual, he can't die. When Magnus questions how he's not dead, Vulkan just said that being dead is "boring" and all his friends were here, being alive.
-->'''Vulkan''': Why am I alive? [[InsaneTrollLogic Why would I want to be dead? Being alive is FUN! All my FRIENDS are here!]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: In Episode 25, he suddenly has a vaguely Jamaican accent. Except when he slips into the mangled Cockney accent of an Ork.

!!Corvus Corax, Primarch of the Raven Guard
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/corvus_emo.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"IT'S TOO BRIGHT! I WANNA GO BACK IN THE BOX!"]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Zolken91 Fresh]]
One of the 20 Primarchs, the genetically-modified, superhuman children of the Emperor. Specifically, Primarch of the Raven Guard. After having been trapped in the Engine of Woes for several millennia, Corvus was released by accident by Magnus. He's also absurdly emo too.
----
* AdaptationDeviation: In canon, Corvus flew into the Warp to hunt for his traitorous brothers, and he has spent the last ten thousands of years doing so. Here it's implied that he was instead shoved into the Engine of Woes by Vulkan at some point after the Heresy and has remained stuck there since.
* AdaptationalWimp: Yes, he's a Primarch, but it still applies, as part of his different fate here. In canon, after thousands of years in the Warp, Corvus became a terrifying force of psychic powers, bordering on EldritchAbomination (though he can return to his mortal form at will) able to beat and nearly kill the Daemonic Lorgar. Here, nothing indicates that he has attained such power.
* AFatherToHisMen: Addresses member of the Raven guard as "my children" and gives them a RousingSpeech upon meeting them again. Before his HeroicSacrifice, he gives them a pep talk encouraging them to continue on fighting.
* BadassInDistress: After an extremely toxic toad lands on his head, it’s assumed nobody can save him. [[spoiler: Nobody but Sly Marbo, that is.]]
* BeardOfSorrow: He wouldn't be angsty enough without a shaggy beard.
* BerserkButton: Two obvious ones as of now:
** Traitors, like Magnus, since he is a loyalist.
** Oligarchs, like the ones from Jopall. He fought against similar tyrants on Kiavahr, and in his own words, "Forcing your people to pay off a debt from birth does naught but engender ire."
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He remarks that his trip with Vulkan is "the worst idea for a spin-off ever" and in general, seems to understand that he's in a work of fiction.
* CardboardPrison: He gave up almost instantly after Vulkan locked him in the Engine of Woes, a cruddy ancient automobile, believing that it would serve as a suitable punishment for his various failures as a Primarch.
* CharacterDevelopment: Already undergoes this in his second appearance, going from dismissing the Imperial Guard at the beginning of Bro Trip Episode 1 to fully recognizing their value and worth at the end. Being saved by one of them (albeit a hilariously overpowered one) certainly helps.
* TheComicallySerious: A very angsty man in a very ridiculous universe that doesn't pass up the chance to make him the butt of a joke.
* DeadpanSnarker: On the rare occasion he isn't angsting, he can be surprisingly snarky, usually in regard to Vulkan's [[LoveFreak peppiness]].
* DeathSeeker: Corvus privately admits that he just wants to die, but his loyalty to his father, sons, and loyalist brothers means that he must continue to fight on, no matter how much he welcomes death. When he's told Atilla will be subjected to Exterminatus with himself still on it, all he can say is "Fucking ''finally."''
* TheDreaded: As a Primarch, Corvus is so powerful that the Masque of Slaanesh, a powerful daemon, opts to flee right after seeing him rather than even trying to fight him.
* DullSurprise: He doesn't seem all that bothered by Vulkan being dead at all. In fact, he compares it to the Drop Site Massacre and comments that all they'd need to complete it would be Ferrus's skull. He's also just as nonchalant when Vulkan comes back to life. Although this ''is'' [[ResurrectiveImmortality Vulkan]] we're talking about.
* EnragedByIdiocy: Like his father and brother Magnus, the sheer foolishness of the Imperium grates on him heavily. It also extends to the universe in general, which is part of why he remains TheComicallySerious.
* FailedASpotCheck: How DID that toad get on his head without him noticing?
* FantasticRacism: ''BRO TRIP 40,000: A Tale of Two Primarchs'' shows him having a bit of a low opinion on the Imperial Guard (A.K.A. "The Wall of Guns"), thinking them expendable at worst and at best, like the Catachan Jungle Fighters, redundant and better off being made Space Marines. Fortunately, after [[spoiler: his life gets saved by Sly Marbo]], he sees the value in the Imperial Guard and grows out of his disdain.
* {{Foil}}: To Vulkan. Both were in darkness for many millennia, both see Ferrus, and both are rather insane. However, while Vulkan constantly disagrees with Brainghost Ferrus and is extremely cheerful, Corvus is agrees with him and is straight up depressed. Vulkan also forgives Magnus (and everyone for that matter) while Corvus doesn't forgive Magnus at all (or himself, for that matter.)
* HeroicBSOD: Has a brief depression over the nonsense around him on Attila, upon discovering the only Astropath they have is [[spoiler:an ass - not [[JerkAss annoying]], a literal psychic donkey. This works most of the time but the current problem is that Horse doesn't have a word for "Exterminatus."]]
* HeroicSacrifice: When an extremely deadly Greater Catachan Barking Toad - which will [[ActionBomb detonate like a grenade]] and spread super-lethal toxins over an area in excess of a kilometer if agitated even slightly - attaches itself to Corvus's head, the primarch attempts to save his companions by activating his jetpack and flying up into the atmosphere with the toad. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted, as Sly Marbo [[BigDamnHeroes saves Corvus at the last moment]].]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Never misses an opportunity to talk himself down. Like Vulkan, he can also see Ferrus as well, and doesn't disagree with the latter's accusations.
* HumbleHero: A given since HeroicSelfDeprecation is a core part of his character. Also, when he is saved from certain death from a Greater Catachan Barking Toad by Sly Marbo, the first thing he does after he recovers from his shock is to unhesitatingly ''bow'' to the mortal who saved him. This also marks the point at which he begins to fully appreciate the Imperial Guard.
* IntangibleMan: His armor's technology allows him to phase through things, which makes the question of how he got stuck in the Engine of Woe rather funny.
* ItsPersonal: Wants to kill Magnus for being a traitor. Oh, and murdering Vulkan too.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's standoffish, aloof, and somewhat dismissive of normal humans, but he's fatherly towards his Chapter, cares deeply about his (loyal) family, and [[spoiler:unhesitangly respects the Catachans after one of them saves him from a Barking Toad.]]
* KingInTheMountain: Parodied in that he had no intention of actually escaping the Engine of Woe, but later played straight when he (incidentally) begins gathering the armies of mankind to "save" Terra from Magnus, righting wrongs along the way.
* NoSell: Despite being far from the meatiest of the Primarchs, he still shrugs off some pretty huge amounts of damage, as one rather stupid Jopallian commissar trying to execute him finds out. His response to being blasted on full-auto with [[{{BFG}} an Autocannon]] is a disinterested "those clap pretty hard", with the actual rounds having about as much effect as paintballs.
* OhCrap: He rather loudly and understandably freaks out when he realizes that a [[ActionBomb Greater Catachan Barking Toad]] landed on his head.
* PurpleProse: His poetry already qualifies, and he has a tendency to outright speak like this when he gets going. He seems to call it "extrapolating", and gets mildly upset when interrupted.
* RebelLeader: Incites the Jopallians to fight against their oppressive upper class.
* RedOniBlueOni: The emo, brooding Blue to Vulkan's upbeat, cheery Red.
* SignatureScent: Several people comment on how he smells of ammonia, to the point that it attracts a toxic frog to him and Kadus initially thinks he returned because something was wrong with his waste-disposal system.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He has the tendency to swing between PurpleProse and the sort of terms used by actual {{Emo Teen}}s.
-->''How forebodingly, excruciatingly ''super'' distressing.''
* StraightMan: Most of his scenes revolve around him playing this to the goofiness and insanity of those around him, especially but not exclusively his brother Vulcan.
* VocalEvolution: Sounded like an EmoTeen during his first appearance in Episode 21. In subsequent appearances, his voice has become deeper and clearer so he now sounds like an Emo Adult.
* WeakenedByTheLight: After spending ages inside a pitch black box, he reacts to sunlight as if it was painful.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He's remarkably quick on the uptake and during the ''BRO TRIP 40,000: A Tale of Two Primarchs'' first episode he pieces together a picture of what's going on through information he only had about a minute at most to gather. Unfortunately, he's currently LockedOutOfTheLoop on Magnus' returning to the fold and the Emperor's edicts.

The ghost of Ferrus Manus, who haunts the mentally unstable Vulkan and Corvus.
----
* CatchPhrase: ''"YOU ARE WEEEAAAAK, (Insert Name Here)!"''
* FogFeet: He's depicted with Ferrus' face on a cartoony ghost's body.
--> '''Vulkan:''' He is like a skull ghost. [[{{Portmanteau}} A skost!]]
* HatedByAll: [[LoveFreak Vulkan]] can't stand him. [[spoiler:The spin-off implies that this is because Brain Ghost Ferrus isn't actually the real Ferrus Manus.]]
* KilledOffForReal: Potentially, assuming he's not just a hallucination. He really is dead-dead. In canon, he got his head chopped off by Fulgrim at the Drop Site Massacre, and in-series Corvus (who was ''at'' the Drop Site Massacre) makes particular mention of Ferrus's severed skull.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Vulkan and Corvus can see him, but Magnus and Kitten can't and presumably no one else can either. The exact reason as to ''why'' this is the case is currently unknown, though coincidentally both Primarchs were at the Drop Site Massacre where Ferrus died...
* TheSocialDarwinist: He had a survival of the fittest mindset and believed all weakness in the human species needed to be destroyed... at least that's what the Emperor thinks. Vulkan later lampshades the fact, in reality, Ferrus knew full well the strength of flesh and that the Iron Hands' obsession with augmentation was unhealthy.
* SpiritAdvisor: Spirit ''demotivator'' in this case. He derides both Vulkan and Corvus for being "weak". Vulkan later tells the ghost off for saying such things as they are the exact ''opposite'' of what the real Ferrus Manus would say.

Corvus's legion (now chapter), just as depressing and eloquent as he is.
----
* AnimalMotifs: The raven, obviously, though when distressed they actually ''caw'' like ravens.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Kayvaan and Kadus are both wearing highly antiquated suits of Mark VI: ''Corvus'' power armor despite the existence of the superior Mark VII: ''Aquila'' and Mark VIII: ''Errant'' Armors. Doesn't make them any less badass, and is rather common among the Raven Guard.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Raven Guard is one of the more heroic and honourable Space Marine chapters, despite dressing in black armour and favoring stealth and covert operations.
* FailedASpotCheck: To their horror, they somehow miss the extremely toxic toad climbing on [[spoiler: Corvus]]'s head.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Kayvaan apologizes to Vulkan for being "too approachable" when Vulkan tries to apologize for [[AndCallHimGeorge hugging him too tight.]] They get it from their father.
* IncrediblyLameFun: Their idea of a "celebration" is basically taking 19-day naps.
* InelegantBlubbering: After [[spoiler:Corvus is saved from death by Sly Marbo]], Kayvaan runs towards him while ''bawling his goddamn eyes out''. It's understandable too, considering he [[spoiler:almost lost [[FatherToHisMen his Primarch]] so soon after getting him back.]]
* PurpleProse: Though not as overt about it as Corvus, they also like to "extrapolate."
* VerbalTic: Kadus occasionally lets out an "ooaaa~" sound before his sentences.

The regiment of the Imperial guard recruited from the planet of Catachan.
----
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Whoever has the biggest knife is in charge. They recognize [[spoiler:Corvus]] as a Primarch because he's covered in knives.
* AwesomeAussie: Colonel Straken's accent is markedly different from the rest of the troops.
* DeepSouth: Evidently, the Catachan accent is an import from Terra because they speak like stereotypical American southerners.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: At least one of the guards sounds like he's "enjoying" the sight of [[spoiler:Corvus]]'s knives - as in, the blades on his armor appear to be arousing the guardsman.
* InnocentInnuendo: Not that it doesn't creep [[spoiler:Corvus]] out any less but their knife-measuring contests are apparently about literal knives instead of something else.
* KnifeNut: As per usual the Catachan have knives of differing lengths that show their rank from the Bowie Knife-esque [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/5/5c/Catachan_Fang2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130216011541 Catachan Fang]] to the Machete or Sword-like [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/0/0a/Devil%27s_Claw2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130216011920 Devil's Claw]] made up of Metals from Catachan itself.
* MadeOfIron: In terms of the tabletop game, a Catachan Jungle Fighter wearing ''jack shit'' above the waist has the same toughness as a suit of Carapace Armor, which is designed to handle shots from ''[[{{BFG}} Space Marine Bolters]]''. This toughness comes from being raised on the DeathWorld that is Catachan, and impresses the Space Marines accompanying Corvus and Vulkan into wondering why Catachans aren't recruited as Space Marines themselves.
* RatedMForManly: From their big knives to their big muscles to their fighting off daemon hordes with bravery, they have a high "marketability". They're actually targeted by a Slaaneshi daemonette for their insanely well-built biceps (as in, she tears their arms off for their muscles). Gunnery Sergeant "Stonetooth" Harker one ups them all by being not only bigger and buffer than his fellows, but also by wielding a ''goddamned Heavy Bolter like it's a simple LMG'' [[labelnote:*]]To clarify, a regular Bolter would be considered a heavy weapon by an average human. A Heavy Bolter is considered a heavy weapon by ''Space Marines''.[[/labelnote]]
* NoPronunciationGuide: Lampshaded, as Catachan is pronounced "Cat-a-chan" and "Cat-a-can" by different people.
* OhCrap: Upon finding a Catachan Barking Toad, as they explode and release an ''extremely'' toxic gas. It's actually fairly easy to avoid dying from the lesser ones, but [[MassOhCrap the greater ones...]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: A wholesome example, as they don't behave overly-sexual about their semi-nudity. It is exploited by their superiors in the Imperial Guard, who use them in propaganda.
* TestosteronePoisoning: Every single guardsman's manliness is used for humor. It is a subject of a digression in the first [=BroTrip=] episode.
* VocalDissonance: Sgt. Harker is an immense mountain of a muscle and ridiculously manly even by Catachan standards, as detailed above, but he has a distinctly high-pitched, somewhat soft-spoken voice.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Barring Sly Marbo and the guardswomen (the latter of whom wear bikini tops, displaying their six-pack abs).

* AutomatonHorses: Literal in the case of Mogul Kamir’s cybernetic steed.
* BornInTheSaddle: Horse-riding nomads based on the Mongols. The planetary capital isn’t so much a “city” as a mass of tents.
* ThePigPen: The only people Vulkan doesn’t hug at first sight, because they refuse to bathe.
* SchizoTech: Even moreso than the rest of the Imperium; they ride horses into battle with hovertanks.
* SkullCups: The king’s robes are covered in skulls with the tops cut off for drinking, and his concern on hearing of imminent Exterminatus is that his collection will be destroyed.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Their astropath is an ass, a literal one. Unfortunately, the equine tongue is inadequate to conveying the concept of planetary annihilation.

The regiment of the Imperial Guard recruited from the miserable, hyper-capitalist agri-world of Jopall. After some words of inspiration from Corvus Corax, they stage a coup against their corrupt governor, led by Private Pesh and Private Hox, and reorganize themselves into a mercenary company to fund their new government.
----
* CrapsaccharineWorld: As an Agri World, Jopall is kept in rather good shape - not just [[DamnedByFaintPraise "by Imperial standards"]], actually good shape, it helps with growing crops - but it's run by an absolutely ''nightmarish'' MegaCorp that is hubristic enough to enslave a ''Primarch'' and is patrolled by some of the most stupid excuses for Commissars in the Imperium. It says something that the Imperial Guard launching a coup and realizing they're going to have to turn to mercenary legions to keep the Ordo Hereticus off their backs long enough to convince the Imperium to let them back in is an unambiguously happy ending, because [[FateWorseThanDeath continuing as is]] was ''that'' untenable.
* DeepSouth: Jopall's elite, in particular Lance Cashpants, speak in this accent, likely to help get across that they're effectively slave owners.
* IndenturedServitude: Naturally, everyone on the planet was born indebted and one of the ways to get out of it is to join the Imperial Guard.
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: ''Asstart Spagle Mens'', off brand Space Marines that are actually just Gland Warriors. Naturally, they have [[Franchise/{{Halo}} SPARTAN Helmets]] and [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear wings]].
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: Downplayed. The Guard quickly realizes they're going to have to turn to some amoral means to fund their new government, but no one has a problem with them executing their leaders - they were just that bad.

%%%%%%* BadassCape: Tu'shan and He'stan sport these.
* BladeOnAStick: Forgefather He'stan's spear.
* {{Catchphrase}}: '''VULKAN LIVES!!!''' [[ResurrectiveImmortality Usually when he comes back to life after dying.]]
** Tu'Shan has a booming "HA-HA-HA!" laugh whenever he's really joyous (which includes the above revivals).
* DropTheHammer: Tu'Shan and the Firedrakes each wield war hammers.
* FloweryElizabethanEnglish: Tu'Shan speaks only this way - even after his ship crashes and he emerges from the wreckage, he has to exclaim a 'forsooth' before puzzledly asking 'What in yon ''fuck'' happened?'.
* GoodIsDumb: One of the most heroic chapters still operational and achingly dim in many respects.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Or at least, very very deaf. The Ultramarines are able to "sneak" past the Firedrakes, with their motif blasting away, and they cannot hear a thing. Kitten runs up to them and yells at the top of his lungs, and they cannot hear a thing (in that case, it might have been Kitten's sudden and inexplicable heavy accent).
* HeavySleeper: He'stan is able to sleep through the Ultramarines bursting through the Fortress Monastery with their motif on full volume.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Tu'Shan seems to take a lot after Vulkan, judging by his friendly demeanor, his enthusiasm for adventure and the fact that he calls other Space Marines "cousin-friends", much like Vulkan calls other Primarchs "brother-friends".
* NiceGuy: Some of the few extant in the entire setting, being dedicated to saving the lives of all Imperial citizens. They've even fought with other ''Loyal'' Space Marine Chapters for treating the citizens of the Imperium as meat-shields and/or acceptable losses.
** This only goes double with their relationship with their Primarch, Vulkan. They're absoulutely overjoyed when he returns, horrified when he apparently dies, and overjoyed again when he pops back up. According to WordOfGod, Vulkan spent some time giving each and every member of his chapter a hug when he returned.
* NoIndoorVoice: Some of the guards have a tendency to be rather loud when speaking.
* OnlySaneMan: He'Stan has his moments, generally having more awareness of what's going on than his fellow Salamanders (and sometimes even more than everyone else in the room, including Primarchs). Examples include catching on to the Emperor's apparent taste for aesthetics over effectiveness, the "marketability" (for admitted lack of a better word on his end) of the [[TestosteronePoisoning Catachans]], and the following interjection when everyone else is considering celebrating the return of the two Primarchs:
-->'''He'Stan:''' Pardon my petulance, but need I remind you that '''''[[SuddenlyShouting TERRA IS IN JEOPARDY!?]]'''''
* PyroManiac: The Emperor, upon hearing of how pyrocentric their rituals are, wonders if he did not place their test tube too close to a candle.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He'stan, upon seeing the apparently dead body of Vulkan, makes a girly squeal.
* UltimateBlacksmith: Kitten is quick to point out the abundance of master-crafted weaponry that the Chapter has made.

A menial naval worker with big dreams. Specifically, killing a Primarch.
----
* AffablyEvil: Unfailingly polite to everyone he meets, and is sincerely sorry to extort the Salamanders. The Jopallians find it hard to believe that someone so nice could be evil.
* BadassNormal: A somewhat downplayed example, as physically he is probably the weakest character in the series except for Boy, but his wit makes up for that. He has friends in high places and is apparently sneaky enough to elude even the ''Raven Guard.''
* BigBad: Shaping up to be this to the Bro Trip spinoff.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[DownplayedTrope While he goes through with it anyways]], he feels dirty for having Cashpants placing them in so much debt and red tape that Vulkan would die before he could be saved from the Life-Eater Virus. He even apologizes to them, as he original plan should have settled things.
* ForTheEvulz: The apparent reason he wants to kill a Primarch. He's not even doing this in the service of Chaos, he just personally wants to do so, [[DisappointedByTheMotive to Corvus Corax's dismay]].
* InexplicablyAwesome: A perpetually-cheery Menial who, in order, somehow gathers enough high-ranking 'friends' under his banner to OK an Exterminatus at his will, casually walks onto the bridge of a Light Cruiser, admits his plans to crash it with all hands aboard to the captain, somehow proceeds to do so, somehow survives the crash, has his 'friends' launch aforementioned Exterminatus knowing full well [[TakingYouWithMe he'll be killed too]], and then somehow [[StealthHiBye escape any punishment under the nose of four Space Marines and Corvus Corax]] when his plans are foiled. He then somehow beats them to Jopall and ingratiates himself with the governor with nothing more than a sandwich and a few nice words, to the point he lands himself on the management board, who tangle Corvus, He'stan, and Tu'shan with so much red tape that they can't help a dying Vulkan. Why does he do this? He dreams of killing a Primarch, a dream that [[TheBadGuyWins he actually accomplishes THRICE]]: Vulkan died in the crash, then sacrifices himself to stop the Exterminatus, then succumbs to the Life-Eater Virus of the missile. Seriously, Sly Marbo at least has military training: ''who in the Warp is this 'Clancy' guy?!''
* ShadowArchetype: He's this to Vulkan. They're both friendly and garner friends through their kindness, but while Vulkan is a Loyalist Primarch who serves for the Emperor, Clancy is a menial human only cares about his own desires, which is called out on by Vulkan.
* VillainousUnderdog: He's a [[InexplicablyAwesome supposedly]] ordinarily human of menial rank up agains Primarchs, who are demigods that can make [[TheLegionsOfHell armies of daemons]] flee in terror at their mere presence, and their BadassArmy of [[SuperSoldier Space Marines]] and the most renowned BadassNormal forces in the Imperium. Yet his politeness has allowed him to get away [[spoiler:with killing Vulkan ''three times'', one of which might have actually have been [[BeyondTheImpossible permanent]] had it not been for Vulkan's connection to the Ork Gestalt Consciousness.]]

The Rogue Trader who commands the ''Debt Collector''. In general, he is a charismatic and effective leader when he isn't busy reigning in his subordinates' more eccentric behaviors.
----
* TheAlcoholic: The hardest-drinking member of the group, often responding to any high-stress situation with [[INeedAFreakingDrink a swig from his flask.]] It is implied his... interesting choice of attire for the group having a meeting with nobles was influenced by copious amounts of liquor.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Has a habit of recruiting at least some people from every world they've ended up on so far with very little exception, usually either from the enemy's oppressed victims or the enemy itself, which currently includes ''an actual '''Drukhari'''''. Of course, he doesn't care nearly enough about them to know whether or not they've been jettisoned from the airlock.
* {{Doorstopper}}: Has a book about manners and etiquette called "Zedequette" that is apparently close to 800 pages long.
* TheFace: Is the captain of the ship and arguably the most responsible one among the party, though that's barely saying much.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: His reaction to pretty much anything stressful or outlandish. Upon seeing π-Braine walking onto the bridge of his ship inexplicably ''covered in blood,'' he takes out a flask and completely drains the contents. After the group later fixes an issue in the ''Debt Collector's'' sewage tank which involved a battle with massive corrupted grubs and mites and a near-encounter with an ''[[TalkingPoo Excremental]]'', he orders a much-needed shower servitor to his quarters... followed by an alcohol servitor.
* {{Irony}}: Rogue Traders tend to be the most eccentric, most friendly and accepting to Xenos, and most well-equipped people in the Imperium. He's the sanest and most normal member of the team. The only hint at his Rogue Trader status is his instant acceptance and kindness to the Ratlings and other strange characters he meets.
* PungeonMaster: Has a tendency to crack puns whenever he can, some deliberate, others unintentional.
* TheSlacker: Has apparently put off doing any number of fixes for ''The Debt Collector'' for so long that the issues the ship faces are currently in the mid-''hundreds''.
* StraightMan: Has to look after the party due to their rambunctious nature, whether it be Braine's eccentricity or Lorn's rage.
* WardrobeMalfunction: A specific complication gave him ripped pants that he tried in vain to hide for several sessions, which only got progressively worse as the in-game day went on, to the point it's become a RunningGag.

----
* BrilliantButLazy: Has a tendency for this, since his primary interests are xenobiology and medicine, and mostly ignores everything else.
-->'''π-Braine, exasperated:''' YOU ARE THE LEAST-CURIOUS INQUISITORIAL ACOLYTE EVER!
* BerserkButton: Even as an acolyte, he takes his job seriously, and slights against the Imperium of Man, even if unintentionally, make him absolutely '''livid,''' as Rubania finds out.
--> '''Reeb''': It is the ''Imperium!'' The ''Imperium of Man!'' Not the ''"Schlimporium,"'' not the ''"Bimporium"'', not the ''"Bempire"'', the '''''IMPERIUM OF MAN!''''', and I am a member of the Inquisition, '''''GET IT RIGHT!!!''''' (''Earndril at this point makes a quick OOC declaration to clarify that Reeb is in fact shaking with anger.'')
* CombatMedic: Due to his surgical skills, he's ended up the medical officer for the party.
* DamagerHealerTank: As the only member of the crew with any sort of medical knowledge he fits as the healer.
* KillItWithFire: His weapon of choice is a flamethrower.
* TheLancer: Far more composed than anybody else on the ship, to the point of almost seemingly constantly distracted.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Has an old copy of [[Magazine/WhiteDwarf White Dwarf]] in his tools that he uses to reference obscure variations on humanity.
* NightmareFetishist: He is absolutely fascinated by Xenos biology no matter the source, whether it be Orks or mole-monsters, an attitude that would be deemed borderline heretical in the Inquisition.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Things that others would find truly repungant tend only to fascinate him, and he never hesitates to get elbow-deep in the innards of a fresh (or not-so-fresh) kill to find out how it ticks. So it says a lot when, after succeeding a Medicae test on one of the walls of Rubania's palatial towers to determine its composition, the answer he recieves (via Thurston privately messaging Earndril with the result) causes him to ''immediately'' become [[EveryoneHasStandards horrified and uncomfortable]], to the point that he almost seems to have to restrain himself from shouting at Rubania in outrage. [[spoiler: It isn't until a few episodes later that we find out what disgusted him so, when they confront Rubania again:]]
--> '''Reeb''': [[spoiler:(''absolutely furious'') ''Your walls are made of '''pus!''''']]
* SanityBall: His love of dissecting xenos and unknown creatures aside, he's the one more commonly calling out the party's [[AxCrazy murder hobo]] nature and frequently reigning in Pi-Braine's more murderous nature. Usually by [[DopeSlap striking him in the back of the head.]]
* SquishyWizard: Less so than Lorn since he actually has a decent resilience score, but so far he's nearly been pushed to zero wounds twice and generally does better on the back lines.
* StateSec: Training to be this since he is only an Inquisitorial Acolyte. He doesn't have his Inquisitor's Rosette yet but is working towards it.

[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tts1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:180:Lemuria's Finest... and by that we mean the most aggressive.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Randolph Carter
A proud Skitarii Ranger from the Forge World of Lemuria that acts as the party's tech expert. He is armed with a power sword, a radium pistol, and a... "high strung" attitude.
----
* AndThisIsFor: He often shouts out the name of his forge world when engaging in battle.
* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' insult his Forge World. Lorn and Reeb barely managed to keep him from attacking an ''Imperial Tech Priest'' when she said Forge World Lemuria creates ''sub-standard'' tech.
** Don't remind him he's not actually a Tech-Priest yet. He gets unusually weepy and defensive about it.
** Low-technology enviornments make him especially....testy, as poor Mayor Hogpin found out.
--> '''Braine''': ''I cannot endure this!'' [A sequence of events takes place involving Brain attempting to pick the Mayor up but due to a bad roll instead ends up ''dropping him through a food table''] Listen here, you ''Sixteen-piece Chicken'' ''[=McNobody=]''! I don't care about your ''turkey-basting gluttony,'' I wanna know, where the '''''god-damned Tech Priest has gone!''''' And you're going to tell me, or ''by the Motive Force,'' I'll have you, and your entire...nnngh-''Amish community of...'''Luddite electrolysts PURGED FROM MEMORY!'''''
* {{BFS}}: His Power Sword. He substitutes it for a "Grate Sword" (as in, [[{{Pun}} a greatsword made out of a grate]]) during the Prison arc. He gets a real one in an Eviscerator later on to inevitably replace it.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Pi will slaughter millions of innocent Imperials at the drop of a hat because, in his mind, their souls will just be recycled by the Motive Force and it's no big loss, which is why he's so skeeved out and unusually cautious around Daemonic corruption: the souls and machine spirits of the damned ''don't.''
* CloudCuckooLander: Oh ''yes'', even by the standards of a TTS character; he goes near-insane from being in an open field with no metal, threatens multiple people with death for not having ''any'' higher technology on their world, and is currently trying to induct a child into the Cult Mechanicus.
* {{Cyborg}}: As befits a Skitarius of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
* DamagerHealerTank: Fits as both damage and tank; he has the single highest defense and resilience in the party, as befits his cybernetic nature, so he can take a lot more punishment than the rest of the party, [[spoiler:and he was able to effectively one-shotted the Divine Lord of War with a good crit on his power sword.]]
* DramaticGunCock: Does one when he ends up getting his hands on a Plasma Rifle. Immediately parodied, as he starts doing it for simple sentences, which gives everyone else pause as it's effectively charging a weapon well-known for its explosive consequences for overcharging.
* TheFaceless: Thus far the only hints of his appearance we have seen are his big glowing eyeports. The rest of his face is shrouded in the shadows of his hood, but given that he's a Skitarius there might not be much of a face under there anyway.
* FighterMageThief: Fits as the Fighter, given his proficiency with his Power Sword and his high defense and resilience.
* ManOnFire: Fire is perhaps the ''single'' greatest threat to Pi [[ArmorPiercingAttack since it ignores most of his absurdly high defenses and resilience]], and as such Pi catching fire during any given combat encounter is starting to become a RunningGag.
* NonPromotion: Before he left Lemuria, he was given the title of honorary Explorator for the Forge World, under the impression that if he brought anything useful back from the crusade, the actual rank would stick. ''He'' interpreted it as an actual promotion, and is often furious with anyone who points out the obvious fact that he isn't officially a Techpriest.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While the ''Debt Collector'' is being attacked by fighters and an Orbital Defense System while low on ammo, Braine has an idea which involves working with [=GaMu=]-2442 to stop them. And is willing to put his enmity aside to make the plan work. Lorn highlights how serious it is.
** On a Meta level, when [[spoiler:cornered by Death Cult Assassins about to poison the water supply of a planet]], Randolph Carter makes a narrative action to declare that the water pumps are made on Lemuria and thus '''[[ShoddyKnockoffProduct substandard]]'''. All the players plus Thurston are amazed.
* PatrioticFervor: Is fiercely loyal to Forge World Lemuria.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Goes on one [[spoiler:against the Divine Lords when he finds out that they murdered the Tech-Priest who accompanied them to keep her from squealing to the Imperium about their plot.]]
* StealthPun: His name is "Pi Brain", and he's irrational.

[[folder:Lorn Barnes]]
!! Lorn Barnes
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tts3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:178:The power of the Immaterium, flowing through your demented grandfather]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [=ZoranTheBear=]
A sanctioned psyker hailing from Fenris, Lorn possesses a degree of psychic mastery that makes him an invaluable member of the team. Now if only they could work on his attitude...
----
* AccentSlipUp: Occasionally he reverts to his native Fenrisian accent.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: He is a psyker from [[https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Fenris Fenris]] but '''''has no idea what a Primarch is.'''''
** Both a case of RuleOfFunny (because Lorn is a crazy old man) ''and'' ShownTheirWork.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fenris only has a population of less than 4 million across an entire frozen hellscape of a DeathWorld, and the Space Wolves' Fortress-Monastary is at the north pole on the planet's only permanent landmass, where only an ''extreme'' minority of its populace live, to the point that the Wolves themselves are considered legendary in lore to the tribes of Fenris. It is entirely possible he lived most of his life on Fenris without ever knowing one of the most renowned Space Marine Chapters and Primarchs came from where he lived.[[/labelnote]]
** Has another one with the downtime that he and π-Braine share: π-Braine has gone on a rampage slaughtering innocent civilians in the underdecks of the ''Debt Collector'', whereas Lorn has taken it upon himself to attempt to solve these mysterious deaths, completely unaware that his companion is the culprit. Zoran and Randolph repeatedly joke that they keep passing each other and exchanging pleasantries in the halls.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Lorn is bored to tears in practically any non-mission or non-combat situation, to the point that they have given him a "Vox Boy" to play with while everybody else does their thing.
* CloudCuckooLander: He once tried to channel the powers of the Immaterium through a Power Sword to turn Braine into a ''radio antenna''. Yeah, the powers of the Warp and his age might've cooked his noggin a bit.
* CoolOldGuy: When he isn't being a GrumpyOldMan, he's actually quite affable and has taken something of a shine to Tater Tot that seems focused on making the Ratling child an effective citizen of the Imperium rather than brainwashing him like Braine is trying to do.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Lorn is a psyker whose entire ability list is almost all damaging skills, with very little stated ability or interest in more practical psyker skills. Given where he's from, however, it makes sense that he'd have learned how to use his powers for defense only.
* EccentricMentor: Heavy on the Eccentric, but he was considered a respected elder back on Fenris.
* FighterMageThief: Solidly the mage, being the only psyker in the group and using the powers of the Warp to turn his opponents into meatballs and fly around.
* GrumpyOldMan: Despite what was stated under CoolOldGuy, when Lorn first met Tater Tot he nearly strangled the child because of how stupid the naming conventions of his home world are[[labelnote:spoiler]]Grumble-Tum-Tum Farms is admittedly a stupid name[[/labelnote]]. Generally, it's pretty easy to get his dander up through sheer idiocy.
* PowerEchoes: Quite frequently when Lorn utilizes his psychic powers or is shocked, his voice proceeds to echo regardless of the acoustics of the current area he is in.
* SquishyWizard: He both has the lowest defense and resilience in the party as well as tying with Zedek for least amount of wounds, so needless to say he is best kept in the back. [[spoiler:Come Episode 13, however and this is VERY MUCH SUBVERTED. And then he goes back to normal at the end of Episode 14, though he can occasionally dip back into it thanks to Perils of the Warp.]]
* WizardClassic: With his robes, massive beard, age, and his ornate staff and amulet he has the look nearly to a T. All he really needs is the pointy hat to complete it.
[[/folder]]
!!Other Crew
[[folder:Lieutenant Ransum]]
Zedek's second-in-command of the ''Debt Collector'' who is left in charge while Zedek is off ship.
----
* BlueBlood: To the shock of Zedek, Ransum is pretty uncaring about the mysterious deaths in his menial crew, seeing them as low born and part of the lower classes. [[spoiler:In fact, it's been hinted that he and the noble-born command staff have been encouraging gang wars between the various niche groups that have formed in the bowels of the ''Debt Collector''.]]
* SilverFox: He is described as this, especially in comparison to Lorn. The latter has a momentary breakdown over this.

[[folder:[=GaMu=]-4224]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Thurston Hillman
A Techpriest from Forge World Graia, she is the head Enginseer of the ''Debt Collector'' and spends much of her time alerting Captain Zedek to the vessel's various technical issues.
----
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When [[spoiler:Sleigherburgo takes over the ship]], she finally gets to have her list of grievances addressed and her work orders filled...only to begin driving herself crazy with the fact she is effectively rendered useless without Captain Zedek's neglect of the ship, and joins the effort to save the ''Debt Collector'' quickly.
* SitcomArchNemesis: She has become this for π-Braine along with Graia by association.
* {{Troll}}: At one point she interrupts Braine singing his praises of Lemuria's "superior technology" just to shout "'''''INCORRECT!'''''" over the ''Debt Collector's'' Vox...and then refuses to acknowledge Braine's retort.

->'''Voiced by:''' Thurston Hillman
A Ratling child encountered by the crew on the world of Farthum IV. π-Braine swears to teach him everything he knows.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Tater Tot is a cute kid, in spite of the fact that Ratlings in the TTS-Universe being slovenly, borderline semi-sentient hunger machines.
* PutOnABus: After the adventures on Farthum IV., the party decides to leave him in the Servitor childcare area aboard the ''Debt Collector'' for his safety. Occasionally the [=GM=] has scenes which cut to Tater Tot to show how he's doing.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Starts exhibiting some when "tutored" by π-Braine and Lorn, and for surviving an attack of the local fauna known as "Geraldines".

->'''Voiced by:''' Thurston Hillman
A ratling who becomes the group's ally during their time on Farthum IV. She later becomes the unofficial leader of the Ratling regiment formed afterwards aboard the ''Debt Collector''.
----
* ConspiracyTheorist: When the group goes to her home they see her [[StringTheory String Theory Board]].
* {{Expy}}: She's a near-exact copy of [[Franchise/MetalGear Naked Snake/Big Boss]], down to the cardboard box trick.
* EyepatchOfPower: Begins wearing one after dropping her initial disguise. It is unknown whether she actually needs it or not.
* ImprovisedTraining[=/=]TrainingFromHell: One time the group meets her aboard the ''Debt Collector'', she is found training the other ratlings by tying potatoes to one of them and having the rest chase him through the ship.
* StealthExpert: In later appearances she shows these skills with the classic [[MobileShrubbery Mobile Cardboard Box]] disguise. It is very effective and she is praised by [[spoiler:Captain Kaldaius, a Blood Angel from the Grand Crusade Era]] who compares her to [[Characters/Warhammer40000AstartesChapters Nykona Sharrowkyn]].

!Others
[[folder:Katje Van Noord]]
A Minister Moderatum of the Oficio Ambassadorium, Katje Van Noord is in charge of assigning missions to the various ambassadorial groups in the Bro Crusade, which include the [=WarHams=] crew.
----
* CreepyLongFingers: Her hands have been replaced with mechadendrites.
* GiantWoman: When they meet in person she is noticeably taller than everyone else. It is implied this due to her being Voidborn and spending most of her time on starship vessels.
* NotSoStoic: She puts on the typical airs of the Oficio Ambassadorium, but she breaks it entirely when she reveals that she ''adores'' her Ratling cooking staff like one might love a dog or a cat, in spite of the Ratlings general...[[ThePigPen ratling-ness]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sleigherburgo d'Fuckreby XXIV]]
Sleigherburgo d'Fuckreby XXIV is the leader of another ambassadorial group under Katje Van Noord's purview.

* TheRival: He is shaping up to be this for the [=WarHams=] crew after his actions on Farthum IV. [[spoiler:Signs of his presence at Shady Rock is enough to bring them to rage]].
