22	Captain Titus is the commander of the Ultramarines' 2nd Company, and personally takes part in the defense of Forge World Graia. Relatively young for a Space Marine, he is a decorated veteran of several major campaigns, and his exploits have earned him a reputation as one of the mightiest Ultramarines in recent memory. [[AFatherToHisMen The men under his command are dearer to him than his own life]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and if one of them is killed, Titus will not stop until the enemy responsible has paid in blood.]]
23	\
24	Titus still mourns the recent loss of his mentor, Captain Trajan, who was killed by Eldar in a routine mission GoneHorriblyWrong. Titus held Trajan to be the ideal of Ultramarine nobility and honor. Now that he has inherited command of Trajan's company, Titus aspires to be the kind of leader that Trajan was.
25	\
26	Titus was always interested in the thinking behind his enemy's tactics ever since he first stepped on the battlefield. With every battle, he experienced firsthand how differently each alien species and daemon horde fought on the ground, and gradually, patterns emerged. [[AwesomenessByAnalysis To better understand the enemy and their motivations gives him insight into their strengths and weaknesses, and into how to exploit those weaknesses in battle.]] His ability to predict how a group of enemies would attack saved many lives over the years. Now that he’s a Captain, Titus works to instill the same critical thinking in the men under his command.
27	----
28	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: A specialty of his. He knows the value in studying the opponent's strategy and coming up with plans to counter them, ensuring he and his allies prevail.
29	* BaritoneOfStrength: Mark Strong gives him a very manly voice. Combined with his being a Space Marine, it comes together to make him incredibly powerful on multiple fronts.
30	* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Titus is incredibly noble, especially considering the kind of world 40k is, he's still a Space Marine. This means he has the physical power and artillery to reduce your body into a fine mist.
31	* BlingOfWar: He's a Captain, it's practically a contractual obligation. Over the course of the game, he gets additions to his armor to make him look even more blinged out.
32	* TheCaptain: His rank during the events of the first game, where he was Captain of the Ultramarines second company. By the time of the second game, he has been demoted to Lieutenant.
33	* CanonImmigrant:
34	** While ''Space Marine'' was originally dubbed non-canon, as the captain of the 2nd company (which the markings on Titus's armor indicate that he is) in the tabletop at the time the video game was release was Cato Sicarius. Later canon in the 40k universe establishes him as Sicarius's direct predecessor, resolving the canon conflict and bringing him into the lore proper.
35	** He would later on even get his own proper miniature for the tabletop game, further solidifying his existence into canon.
36	* ChainsawGood: His basic melee weapon is the iconic Chainsword.
37	* ContinuityNod: [[http://i.imgur.com/MIdyJJ6.jpg It appears a Sternguard Veteran model may have been based on his appearance]].
38	* {{Determinator}}: Especially [[spoiler:his resistance to the Warp, which is a plot point in the game]].
39	* AFatherToHisMen: One of the best examples of this in ''all'' of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. He cares very much about those under him, and is shown to be ''devastated'' [[spoiler:when Sidonus is killed]].
40	* TheHero: Functions as this, and technically the BigGood of the campaign, leading the charge to defend Graia from the Orks.
41	* HumbleHero: Titus shows a lot more humility than the average Space Marine; he's very kind and considerate towards the Imperial Guardsmen he meets, often deflects praise away from himself, [[spoiler: and at the end of the game, allows himself to show weakness in front of Lt. Mira, collapsing to his knees in exhaustion after everything he's been though.]] This goes a long way towards humanizing an otherwise inhuman titan, contrasting heavily with the LawfulStupid Leandros, who seems more interested on following the Codex to the letter and wastes time making the enemy suffer instead of advancing the mission.
42	* IdealHero: Titus is self-sacrificing, humble, heroic and protective of those under his command, whether they're fellow Adeptus Astartes or Imperial Guardsmen. He shows nothing but respect for the Imperial Guard for their unfaltering bravery against titanic odds, and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness is so pure of heart that he is resistant to the effects of the Warp]]. He ''literally'' [[HopeBringer answers the prayers of the Imperial Guard with his arrival]].
43	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Titus, for reasons yet explained, proves to be completely immune to the corruptive touch of Chaos. While he can be HURT by Chaos, his soul remains completely pure and untouched by it, allowing him to fight directly against it in ways that no other Space Marine can. In an ideal world, this would make Titus be seen as a beacon of hope and possibly even blessed by the God-Emperor himself. [[DarkerAndEdgier This being the 41st Millennium, however]], he is imprisoned by the Inquisition for suspected heresy. On a more philosophical note, Titus is also incorruptible in that he is fiercely loyal to the Imperium and its ideals, being true to the intentions of the ''Codex Astartes'' and not strictly the letter. This makes him one of the most compassionate and idealistic leaders in the entire Imperium.
44	* InkSuitActor: He looks quite a bit like a more grizzled version of Mark Strong with a full head of hair.
45	* MilitaryMaverick: Instead of [[LawfulStupid rigidly adhering]] to the ''Codex Astartes'', he views it more of a guideline on how to act, instead of it being utter law. This goes against the popular concept that the Ultramarines view the ''Codex Astartes'' as sacrosanct, and compared to most Ultramarines depicted, he's the one who deviates from it the most. He's also a ''[[TheCaptain Captain]]'' and doing this.
46	* NeckLift: The game plays up how strong a Space Marine is by having him easily chokeslam Orks with a single hand.
47	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished. He nearly dies protecting Graia from an Ork invasion, [[spoiler: on top of stopping Nemeroth's daemon invasion]], and what does he get for his trouble? [[spoiler:Leandros calling the Inquisition on him on suspected heresy over his extreme resistance to Chaos. Played with, however, as Thrax is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who leaves Titus' allies alone as long as he comes along willingly, not even making him give up his weapon. Judging by the existence of the sequel, he's been cleared of the heresy charge, making Leandros' accusation completely meaningless.]]
48	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler: delivers an epic one to half-demon Nemeroth, ending with him crushing Nemeroth´s head between his hands]].
49	* OlderThanTheyLook: In lore, the Service Studs on a Space Marine's skull represent their years of service to their chapter and depending on the material used it'll represent longer periods of service, with the most common being 100 standard years. Titus has two, and the Prima Guide states he's 175 years old by the Invasion of Graia. Yet he just looks like a middle aged man under the helmet.
50	** As the trailer for the second game reveals, he now has another two studs, showing just how much time has passed in between and how little he has aged due to his Space Marine biology.
51	* OneManArmy: Space Marines are this by default, but Titus's feats range into the frankly ridiculous even by their standards: by the time the dust settles, he's killed thousands of Orks, gone toe-to-toe with their [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership warboss]] ''and'' [[FlunkyBoss his retinue]], massacred his way through legions of Bloodletters, killed dozens of [[EvilCounterpart Chaos Space Marines]] and [[YourHeadAsplode squished the skull]] of a sinister Sorcerer Lord.
52	* ShouldersOfDoom: He's a Space Marine, this comes naturally.
53	* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler:Before their battle, Nemeroth tries to convince him to turn to Chaos with promises of power, but Titus' loyalty to the Emperor and the Imperium isn't so easily swayed.]]
54	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives an epic one to Leandros in the epilogue, pointing out that the Codex is supposed to guide and instruct, but being a Space Marine is meant to be more than just blindly following the Codex without question.
55	-->'''Brother Leandros''': The ''Codex Astartes'' leaves no room for doubt – You cannot touch the Warp and remain unscathed.
56	-->'''Captain Titus''': The ''Codex Astartes'' is a set of rules. They guide us… shape us as Ultramarines… teach us to hold duty and honour sacred above all. But '''how we live''' with these rules is the ''true'' test of a Space Marine. ({{Beat}}) And '''you,''' ({{Beat}}) have ''failed''.
57	* TookALevelInBadass: While by no means weak, by the time of the second game he's managed to go through the Rubicon Primaris and has become a Primaris Marine.
58	* UncertainDoom: In the immediate years after the first game, the SequelHook ending of Titus's arrest became an UncertainDoom with all the ups and downs that befell Relic Entertainment. Years later we finally learn what happened to Titus with a true sequel is coming out from a different company and a 2024 Magazine/WhiteDwarf issue explaining Inquisitor Thrax actually being evil and Titus doing an incognito stint as a Deathwatch Black Shield.
59	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:For Nemeroth and the Daemon controlling Drogan's corpse. He's the one who essentially opens the door for Chaos to invade Graia.]]
60	* WorldsBestWarrior: In the description of Titus within the game manual, it mentions that he was the mightiest warrior to join the Ultramarines in several generations. This is how he became Captain of the 2nd Company ahead of big-time hero Cato Sicarius.
61	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Pops off a number of throws and slams that wouldn't be out of place in the WWE.

74
75	Sergeant Sidonus has been a Ultramarine for over 200 years, and serves as Captain Titus' [[NumberTwo second-in-command]]. He is also Titus' closest friend and confidant.
76	\
77	He's seemingly seen it all, with a "been there, done that, no problem" attitude and dry sense of humor that instantly serve to defuse tense situations. But when faced with the enemy, Sidonus is their worst nightmare – a brutally efficient warrior who won't stop until every enemy lies dead at his feet.
78	\
79	Sidonus bears the marks of his extended service to the Imperium – including a bionic arm to replace one lost in battle against the Tyranids. When an Eldar weapon destroyed his eye and part of his face, Sidonus decided to leave the scars in place as a reminder of his victory over this formidable enemy.
80
81	----
82	* ArtificialLimbs: His left arm is cybernetic, he got it after he lost his original arm fighting against the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Tyranids]].
83	* ContinuityNod: [[http://i.imgur.com/MIdyJJ6.jpg Seems like Games Workshop based a Sternguard Veteran model off him.]]
84	* CoolOldGuy: He is the eldest among Titus' squadron and that doesn't stop him from being cool.
85	* DeadpanSnarker: His years of experience have naturally made him very snarky.
86	* EyeScream: Lost his eye to some Eldar Weaponry but refuses to get a bionic eye for a replacement.
87	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a pretty nasty burn scar covering the right side of his face as a result of a previous battle with the Eldar.
88	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Is subjected to this by Nemeroth.]]
89	* InTheBack: [[spoiler:As he moves ahead towards a landing pad and holding off chaos forces, Nemeroth teleports behind him and fatally impales him with his lightning claws.]]
90	* JustEatGilligan: At one point he discusses the possibility of simply destroying the power source so as to prevent Nemeroth from obtaining it, but Titus shoots down the idea because he believes that destroying the power source may cause dire consequences (like opening another warp rift).
91	* NumberTwo: Naturally due to being the Sergeant to the trio. Titus even entrusts him to protect the Warp Device.
92	* OldSoldier: He looks like an old man in his 60s which is impressive given that Astartes age much slower than normal humans, meaning his real age is immeasurably higher.

108
109	Leandros is the most recent inductee to the Ultramarines command squad. He is a "by the book" Ultramarine, and often speaks with little tact, since to his mind, all actions must serve the Emperor. He looks up to Titus and Sidonus, especially Titus, whom he sees as the type of Ultramarine he aspires to become.
110	\
111	He will question the motives of anyone he suspects of not giving their all for the Imperium, and has lost perspective on what it's like to face the [[CrapsackWorld horrors of the universe]] from a normal human standpoint, and is patronizing to the surviving Imperial Guardsmen he encounters.
112	\
113	[[KnightTemplar He sometimes goes overboard in pursuing what he thinks is a noble course of action]], because he wants to prove himself and his abilities.
114
115	----
116	* ByTheBookCop: Every thought and action of Leandros's is filtered through his rigid adherence to the [[BigBookOfWar Codex Astartes]]. This gets PlayedForDrama as he's shown to be a LawfulStupid person, one who can't seem to think of anything that isn't allowed by the Codex. And sometimes he gets it wrong anyway, making him look like a {{Hypocrite}}.
117	* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Subverted then played straight. He initially wears a helmet at the start of the game, but he goes bareheaded afterwards due to his helmet being severely damaged during his first encounter with the Orks.
118	* {{Hypocrite}}: If you take a closer look at the Codex than what the game lets on, he becomes this. [[spoiler:When he calls the Inquisition on Titus on suspicion of heresy, the Codex actually states that you're supposed to report any suspicion to the company chaplain or librarian, '''not''' an outside faction]]. Titus naturally calls him on it.
119	* KnightTemplar: Leandros is zealously devoted to following the Codex's procedures by the letter at all times. [[spoiler: This results in him betraying Titus to the Inquisition.]]
120	* LawfulStupid: Segues into this at times, like when [[spoiler: he calls the Inquisition down on Titus]]. Titus makes it abundantly clear how much this makes Leandros a liability and a failure by the end.
121	* NewMeat: Very young for a Space Marine, he doesn't even have a single service stud yet. He's also extremely reluctant to deviate from the Codex Astartes, whereas Titus, who is much older, just sees it as a guide and does his best to follow the spirit, not the letter, and Sidonus, who's even older, has no issues doing so.
122	* ShouldersOfDoom: As per usual.
123	* SociopathicSoldier: Type 1. [[DownplayedTrope Not an over-the-top one]], but one of his first scenes has him {{Kneecapping}} an ork, watch it crawl around for a few moments, and then finish it execution-style. Then he mag-dumps into the ork's corpse with his bolter with an [[DissonantSerenity impassive scowl on his face]] until Titus gets his attention. That sort of pointless cruelty from an Ultramarine, who pride themselves on discipline and professionalism, highlights how Leandros fails to live up to the ideals of the chapter despite how much he tries to adhere to the Codex.
124	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Is the recipient of one from Titus, who points out that the Codex is supposed to guide and instruct, but being a Space Marine is meant to be more than just blindly following the Codex without question.
125	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Follows the Codex to the letter, leading to him [[spoiler:calling the Inquisition on Titus because of Titus´s ability to resist a ridiculous amount of Warp exposure]].

137	!!!'''Voiced By''': '''Creator/RahulKohli'''
138	!!!'''Appearances''': ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000Boltgun''
139
140	A Sternguard Veteran Sergeant of the Ultramarines Chapter. He and his Squad were sent to the Forgeworld of Graia on a special mission under the request of the Ordo Malleus, involving the Mechancicus meddling with Inquisitor Drogan's Power Source.
141
142	He is the player character of ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000Boltgun''.
143
144	----
145	* BigBookOfWar: Malum pulls out ''The Codex Astartes'' and thumbs through it in any [[IdleAnimation idle moment.]]
146	* BloodKnight: Malum is ''VERY'' enthusiastic about destroying the enemies of man.
147	--> '''Malum Caedo:''' I will wade through the blood of our enemies!
148	* CoolHelmet: Malum wears a white Mk. VI "Corvus" helmet with a golden wreath that makes him stand out compared to his HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic battle brothers.
149	* ChainsawGood: Just like Titus, he is armed with a similar-looking chainsword. It is his basic melee weapon and whenever he uses it he has the ability to clear gaps between himself and his enemies, his chainsword attacks can interrupt and stagger opponents.
150	* FoeTossingCharge: One of his signature abilities is to charge forward at high speed, dealing damage and knocking away any enemy he comes in contact with. The damage is enough to kill weaker enemies outright, allowing Malum to splatter his way through swarms of cultists and nurglings.
151	* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Does this when taunting an enemy or their corpse.
152	* GoombaStomp: Demonstrated beautifully in the first level with Malum jumping down a shaft and [[GoombaStomp landing ontop an unsuspecting cultist]]. As it turns out, a SuperSoldier in full PowerArmor landing on a baseline human has the same effect as a dump truck falling on a ripe tomato.
153	* HeroWorshipper: His taunt lines imply he greatly respects Captain Titus, and also honours the late Sidonus' memory. [[TakeThat No mention is ever made of Leandros]].
154	--> '''Malum Caedo:''' I will finish the work Captain Titus started!
155	--> '''Malum Caedo:''' Sidonus laid down his life for this planet! I protect his sacrifice!
156	* IllKillYou: Around half his taunts are directed toward his enemies and about how he's going to kill them.
157	--> '''Malum Caedo:''' You die here, vermin!
158	* KnuckleCracking: Untargeted taunts prompt him to do this with the gauntlets of his PowerArmor.
159	* LastChanceHitPoint: His "Know No Fear" passive, which gives Malum temporary invulnerability when his health falls to critical levels.
160	* MeaningfulName: His name translates to ''"I kill evil"'' in Latin. Fittingly enough, the enemies he faces and kills in ''Boltgun'' are the Forces of Chaos, one of the evilest factions in the setting.
161	* MoreDakka: [[TitleDrop It's in the name of the game]]. Malum Caedo fights his way through Graia not only with his trusty eponymous Boltgun but also many other {{BFG}}s available to Space Marines, including a Heavy Bolter, a Plasma Gun, a Shotgun, a Meltagun, among others.
162	* OneManArmy: While Space Marines are already ''designed'' to be this by default, Malum Caedo exemplifies this even by Space Marine standards over the course of the game, singlehandedly taking on legions of Chaos cultists, Chaos Space Marines, and Chaos Daemons entirely on his lonesome. Not even Titus had to defeat several ''Greater Daemons'' just to get to the BigBad!
163	* TheQuietOne: Malum never speaks during the cutscenes of the game, though he does taunt his enemies whenever the player presses the taunt button.
164	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: While Malum is focused on completing his assigned mission, he is also likely motivated by revenge for the unfortunate deaths of his squad mates.
165	* SoleSurvivor: Due to interference by Chaos sorcery, the DropPod carrying Malum and his squad crashed on Graia, killing all but himself. The corpses of his squad mates litter the crash site and considering that this was a Sternguard Veteran Squad and there were no means of retrieving their gene-seed or their equipment, this was a heavy loss for the Ultramarines.
166	* WalkingArmory: Before the game is over, Malum will be carrying most of the Space Marine armory plus some more exotic fare, including a Heavy Bolter and a Grav-cannon, the latter of which is usually ''vehicle mounted''.

238	Second Lieutenant Mira leads the survivors of the 203rd Cadian Regiment. Mira's experience and skill as a tactician, coupled with her uncompromising humanity and [[{{Determinator}} refusal to give up]], commands fierce loyalty among her men.
239	\
240	The 203rd Cadian Regiment was en route to another warzone when their troop carrier was suddenly diverted to Forge World Graia, as they were the only Imperial Guard force close to the planet. The Regiment was the only force that managed to reach the surface before the Orks captured the planet's defense guns.
241	\
242	They were crippled after the Orks cut them off from orbital support and reinforcements, forcing Lieutenant Mira to take command (albeit with the dying Regimental Colonel's consent), as she was the highest ranking officer left. All she wants is to save the soldiers she's sworn to lead, but she does not hold much hope of holding off the Orks much longer.
243	----
244	* ActionGirl: Maybe a slightly more conventional example than some, given how it's literally her job. She was the highest-ranked soldier to survive the deaths of the higher officers in the regiment, and she rarely takes to the field in person (because if she did, the regiment may lose all of its leadership).
245	* BadassNormal: She earned the respect of a Space Marine after she managed to rally the remaining and outnumbered Militarum forces to hold off against countless Orks for several days despite being a mere lieutenant. Really, that's all that needs to be said.
246	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Mira's a looker especially in contrast to the craggy, battle-scarred Space Marines and despite being shot at by an army of Orks for several days, the only sign that she's been in a fight is some dirt on her face. She doesn't even have the "tiny scar on the cheekbone" that many fanservicey 40k female characters get. Semi-justified in that her style of fighting has her hanging in the back and blazing away with her lasgun while using YOU as her meatshield.

279
280	Inquisitor Drogan is a member of the Ordo Xenos, and bears the physical and mental scars of a lifetime spent in the darkest corners of the galaxy. Many years ago, he fell into the hands of fiendish aliens who tortured him for years. Since then, his hatred of alien species has driven him to develop innovative new ways of destroying them, and to pursue technologies and techniques thought lost or impossible.
281	\
282	His greatest creation is the "psychic scourge", which channels tremendous amounts of warp energy, provided by an experimental power source, that can be tuned to destroy specific species, while leaving humans unharmed. Audiologs reveal that he was developing them at the behest of an Inquisitor Lord to find a way to free the Imperium of its need for classic plasma power generators, which are very powerful, but highly bulky.
283	----
284	* ArtificialLimbs: His right arm, which may or may not be as a result of his captivity and torture by Xenos.
285	* BadassBookworm: He was a very combat capable Inquisitor and carried an obsession with finding new technologies to annihilate Xenos with increasing efficiency. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him, this obsession lead to him experimenting with the power source and causing his death and possession.]]
286	-->'''Drogan:''' I am scientist and soldier both, Captain.
287	* BadassLongcoat: Over his armor.
288	* BeingWatched: His audio logs has him mention that during his experiments whilst tapping into the immaterium, he felt that he was being watched. He shrugged off those concerns and continued with his research. [[spoiler:Had he been more wary that outside forces were interested in what he was experimenting in, it's likely he would have been better prepared to deal with Nemeroth's daemonic agent.]]
289	* CripplingOverSpecialization: His dangerous and careless experiments with the Psyhic Scourge are likely a result of him being a member of the Ordo Xenos and not the Ordo Malleus. His obsession with eliminating the xenos menace means he throws caution to the wind in regards to his experiments with the immaterium despite acknowledging the dangers of the warp. [[spoiler:His lack of pre-caution, and not to mention being psychically weakened as a result, ultimately gets him killed by a daemon.]]
290	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:The message from him the player sees in Act 2 turns out to have been his final moments alive, and the Drogan encountered in the story is [[PossessingADeadBody a daemonic spirit possessing his corpse]].]]
291	* EvilIsNotAToy: It's not all that surprising his research with Warp energy would end badly.
292	* FantasticRacism: It's encouraged among the citizens of the Imperium, but his took a level after being tortured horribly by aliens.
293	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Quite a few to the fact that he is [[spoiler:daemonically possessed]].
294	** The noise at the end of his video message [[spoiler:definitely doesn't sound like something an Ork would make]].
295	** His injuries don't resemble anything caused by orkish weapons as much as they do claw marks, and Titus can't help but express concern about their severity. He tries to brush it off by claiming his psyker abilities are stemming the bleeding, but [[spoiler:in reality he's just a walking corpse. It's implied that the daemon [[HolyBurnsEvil went out of its way to desecrate the aquila on his chest before possessing him]].]]
296	** His own turrets shoot at him and the voice recognition software doesn't respond to his orders to stand down. [[spoiler:But it further proves that he isn't the Inquistor Drogan the Ultramarines think he is and his own security system knows better]].
297	* PossessingADeadBody: [[spoiler:The Drogan we meet is actually a daemonic minion of Nemeroth possessing the Inquisitor's corpse.]]
298	* PsychicPowers: He has the powers of a psyker, though the players never sees him use them. [[spoiler: Because the daemon controlling his body literally ''can't'', thanks to them stemming from an Imperial Sanctioning, and therefore not being in the daemon's powerset.]]
299	* ShoutOut: His hairstyle and head plate prosthetic brings to mind [[Film/TheFifthElement Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg]].
300	* TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler:SubvertedTrope, despite the common usage of Inquisitors of this and [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil fairly revealing pre-release trailers' implications]]. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero His research led to a lot of bad stuff happening within the game's plot]], but he never intends any of it or actually falls to Chaos - he's killed before his corpse is possessed.]]
301	* UnwittingTestSubject: His personal audio logs reveal that he tested the psychic scourge on live (and captured) alien subjects, ranging from Orks, Aeldari, T'au and a Tyranid Lictor.
302	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
303	** His experiments were fully intended to create a weapon that could greatly help the Imperium in its war against the xenos. [[spoiler:His experiments and the creation of the power source caught the attention of the Chaos Lord, Nemeroth, who sent his daemonic servant to kill him. The daemon then tricked Titus into opening a warp rift that allowed Nemeroth's forces to invade Graia, and Nemeroth used Drogan's power source to try to ascend into a daemon prince (which he may or may not have succeeded in doing)]]
304	** Posthumously, his actions are the reason for the events of VideoGame/Warhammer40000Boltgun. His surviving research data and fragments of his power source were further experimented on by the techpriests of Graia several years later, [[spoiler:and their experiments cause yet another chaos invasion to occur.]]
305	* WorfHadTheFlu: His audio logs reveal that, before the invasion of Graia, he was sleep deprived, and the psychic attacks he suffered during his experiments with the Psychic Scourge had greatly weakened his psychic defenses. [[spoiler:This made him easy prey for Nemeroth's daemonic servant.]]

318	An Inquisitor who accompanied the Liberation Fleet. He appears briefly in the epilogue.
319	----
320	* EvilAllAlong: In a 2024 Magazine/WhiteDwarf that details what happened to Captain Titus between ''Space Marine'' and ''Space Marine 2'', it turns out Thrax has a reputation among other Inquisitors of being an especially sadistic creep and he had Titus tortured for a century. Thrax eventually becomes demonically possessed and gets executed by the Grey Knights. Titus and other Space Marines imprisoned by Thrax are exonerated and released.
321	* GuiltByAssociation: When [[spoiler:Captain Titus]] rails against the unfair investigation, Thrax warns him that if he resists, the charges against him will be taken as valid, and everyone under his command will be become suspect as well. This is said with [[AndYourLittleDogToo a meaningful glance]] towards [[spoiler:Lieutenant Mira]]. [[spoiler:This convinces Titus to come quietly, if only to spare his comrades and avoid dishonoring the Ultramarines chapter at large.]]
322	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he does take [[spoiler:Titus into custody]] after [[spoiler:Leandros accuses him of being tainted by the Warp]] (he has to, given the severity of the charges and the implications should they be true), the manner in which he does so makes it clear that he's very skeptical of the claim being made. The worst thing he does is deliver a veiled threat to have [[spoiler:Lieutenant Mira and her remaining forces lined up for execution as well]] if [[spoiler:Titus]] refuses to comply. Peacefully taking an accused heretic into custody itself is a surprisingly levelheaded approach for the Inquisition, who [[DependingOnTheWriter are sometimes depicted]] as being willing to destroy entire planets on the ''suspicion'' of heresy.

Seibel tasks the Ultramarine, Malum Caedo, to retrieve the fragments of the late Inquisitor Drogan's power source in order to prevent the Forces of Chaos from using them for their vile purposes.
336	----
337	* BadassNormal: She is an Inquisitor, and apart from her Inquisition equipment and weapons and possible PsychicPowers she is an ordinary mortal compare to Malum. Yet she nevertheless holds her own in battle as the Graian Crown is boarded by the BigBad's forces and she is forced to fight for her life alongside the other Imperials.
338	* CasualDangerDialogue: In the third cutscene she explains what the BigBad was doing and orders Malum to go put him down even as the Graian Crown and her ship is boarded by daemons and heretics, without ever losing her composed tone and only ever slightly raised her voice so she could be heard above the din of battle.

372	Warboss Grimskull leads the Waaagh! invading Forge World Graia, and is extremely cunning. As a result, his Waaagh! is well organized, making it all the more dangerous. He has conquered several worlds before reaching Graia, and if he gets his hands on the [[HumongousMecha Warlord-class Titans]] on the Forge World, he could be unstoppable.
373	----
374	* BigBad: He is the one leading the Ork attack. [[spoiler: Becomes part of a BigBadEnsemble with Nemeroth during the second half of the story.]]
375	* BadassBoast: He delivers a quiet one, which is quite Un-Orky, but it's well-earned, [[spoiler:since he just wiped out a group of Bloodletter daemons after they pushed him off a ledge and he got back up without a scratch]].
376	-->'''Grimskull:''' I ain't so easy to kill, heh heh heh...
377	* BigBadEnsemble: He leads the Waaagh! to conquer the planet, or at least loot it, and he kills Lt Mira Nero's superiors. [[spoiler: With Nemeroth, he becomes this instead of BigBad, thanks to the two of them each trying to loot the planet for different things.]]
378	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Like most Orks he isn't ''evil'' in the same way that Chaos is. He just thrives on war and combat as sustenance.
379	* BoomHeadshot: How Titus finishes him off after their final battle.
380	* BullfightBoss: [[spoiler:A rather difficult one, though he drops it in the third section of the fight.]]
381	* GeniusBruiser: For an Ork, anyway. His WAAAGH! is rather well organized, and he orders them to capture and use the planetary defense guns, instead of simply looting them.
382	* ItCanThink: A telltale sign that Grimskull is a particularly dangerous Ork is his ability to use strategy and tactics, including capturing strategic positions to use against the Imperium.
383	* LargeAndInCharge: Would you expect any less from an Ork Warboss?
384	* MightyGlacier: In his boss fight he has two ways of attacking you, one is by charging at you and the other is to slam his fist into you. Both moves are slow and telegraphed which makes them easy to evade, but if either attack hits you you will either be dead or near-death.
385	%%* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
386	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: He saves you and your squad from Nemeroth... not that he's really bothered either way.]]
387	* NotQuiteDead: Gets swarmed by several Bloodletter Daemons and knocked off a ledge into the depths below. He reappears from said ledge, no worse for wear, a minute or two later.
388	* OhCrap: He gets a visible moment of this in his first appearance when he realizes one of his ship's main guns is about to be pointed right at him. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He immediately hightails it out of there.]]
389	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: It can be inferred he killed a pack of Bloodletters without even being injured, before taking on their boss. And the fact that he's seen afterwards means that he probably forced [[spoiler: Nemeroth to retreat, either by beating him or by being so tough that Nemeroth wasn't able to kill him]].

449	* FlunkyBoss: He is fought with the aid of dozens of minions during the final level. He additionally benefits with having his minions around, as he can cast a spell on a random minion that links them with him, granting him a protective shield that makes Samael impervious to harm until the linked minion is killed.
