[[folder: Karamazov]]
!!Fyodor Karamazov, Lord Inquisitor of The Ordo Hereticus
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ithatts4.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:280:Here seen wondering why he's keeping Dominique around.]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheDakkanator StellarElite]]
A man so regal he takes his throne everywhere he goes, Karamazov is one of the most influential Inquisitors out there. He's also a self-righteous madman with the policy of "kill first-ask questions later", so when a missive to disband the Inquisition comes from the Imperial Palace, he rushes to Terra to burn the hives down in search of an answer.
----
* AntiClimaxBoss: Against Magnus, his charge into the Imperial Palace isn't much. Magnus even comments on it.[[invoked]]
* ArcVillain: The main villain of season 1 and most of season 2.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Apparently got the position by being the biggest and baddest Inquisitor to survive long enough.
* TheAtoner: In a self-deluded idiot sort of way. He still believes that he is the Emperor but upon meeting Leman Russ, he actually seems to regret how his supposed past incarnation treated his children and genuinely wants to make amends.
* AxCrazy: He can murder entire planets out of his own misplaced ego.
* BloodKnight: He may claim that he's doing it all for Imperium's good, but he seems to simply love the carnage.
* BrokenPedestal: Happens to him constantly, from his idol in the Inquisition to his first meeting with Kaldor Draigo.
* CatchPhrase: ''HERESY!''
* CoolChair: His throne, which can move on its own (in fact, he never leaves it), has two built-in lackeys and an impressive array of weapons to boot. It even has a build-in rocket!
* EvilLaugh: When he breaks into the Imperial Palace, his laughter is rather insane.
* ExactWords: Uses this to get out of a promise he gave Decius; instead of "shedding blood" on Holy Terra, he'll just burn everyone.
* {{Foil}}: To Decius. While the Ecclesiarch is the OnlySaneMan, job-oriented and filled with UndyingLoyalty to the Emperor even when his job is invalidated, Karamazov is insane and decides that the best course of action is to charge into the Imperial Palace and execute everyone as heretics, because this ''couldn't be right!''
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:With the Star Child.]]
* GrandTheftMe: In Episode 26, [[spoiler: a shard of the Emperor takes over his body, as Karamazov has so thoroughly come to believe he is the Emperor that the Warp made it true.]]
* IRejectYourReality: In Karamazov's world, everyone but him and his closest associates is a heretic or a potential heretic, the Emperor approves of Inquisition's actions and Karamazov is a shard of Emperor's soul. Suffice to say, it's not exactly everyone else's reality. In Season 3, his beliefs that he is a part of the Emperor reborn is so intense that [[spoiler: in the Warp, it eventually becomes true, or at least true enough that a shard of the Emperor is able to seize control of his body]].
* HolierThanThou: He believes himself to be the most righteous person in the Imperium, even when members of the Imperial Palace's staff disagree with his views.
* KnightTemplar: He believes unflinchingly that his cause is right one, that he knows who the heretics are and what to do with them.
* KnightOfCerebus: With his arrival on stage, the series moves from "wacky one-room-two-guys comedy" to "comedic story about fixing the Imperium".
* LargeHam: Oh yes, he is. He gives {{Rousing Speech}}es all the time, blows everything out of proportion and has nothing against monologuing.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs. After meeting Leman Russ in the Warp and seeing his...obsession with wolves firsthand, Kazamazov takes a moment to berate and wonder to himself what kind of father had he been to him...still believing he's a reincarnation of the Emperor.
* {{Narcissist}}: Other than heresy, his favorite subject is himself. For instance, when the Emperor fawns over him at length to lower his guard, Karamazov mentions telling himself the same things while admiring himself in the mirror.
* NotSoDifferent: To the Emperor. Both are throne-bound, angry, ego-maniacal hypocrites. [[spoiler:The Starchild notes that he will feel right at home inside Karamazov]].
* RousingSpeech: He ''loves'' giving those, to the extent that he gives three of them as the Inquisition makes its way through the Imperial Palace.
* SanitySlippage: The events of [[https://youtu.be/UHNJUgat2i8 Warp Hijinx]] leave him and the rest of his forces considerably more crazed then before, though it could also be because they're drunk off their asses from Leman Russ' improvised Fenrisian Ale--which is strongly suggested in later scenes where Fyodor is relatively sober.
* SarcasmBlind: He's completely oblivious to sarcasm, a quality which the Emperor exploits with gusto.
* TautologicalTemplar: Charging the Eternity Gate is a heresy... but not when him and his people do it.
* TheInquisition: Leads the most reactionary part of the "burn the heretic!" organization. The Emperor is pissed that Malcador's legacy is represented by this guy.
* TriggerHappy: He's more than happy to burn entire planets if he as much as suspects one person there to be a heretic.
* UnwittingPawn: The Emperor fully wants him to assemble the most knight-templar-ish and problematic members of the Inquisition and charge into the Eternity Gate so that Magnus can get rid of all of them at once. And then it's revealed Emps told him all that nonsense about him secretly being a shard of the Emperor's soul so that when in the warp, [[spoiler: his sheer insistence on it makes it true enough for him to act as a host body for the Star Child.]]
* VillainExitStageLeft: When attacking the Palace for the first time, he ends up at Kitten's mercy and is a second from being shot to pieces when the Emperor orders to have him spared. He promptly uses the opportunity to hightail it out of there.
* VillainousBreakdown: When he's sent to the Warp, he starts screaming and blabbering, sliding into incoherence and losing touch with reality even more than before. He snaps out of it by the start of Season 3 though.
* VillainousValour: If there's one thing you can say in Karamazov's favor [[spoiler: even before he gets possessed by the Star Child]] it's this: he is no coward. True, most of his courage stems from being so ridiculously self-assured that it borders on SuicidalOverconfidence or flat out loss of touch with reality. But that didn't stop him from besieging the Imperial Palace, charging a Daemon Primarch, talking back to Leman Russ while he was angry, and refusing to quit believing the Emperor even when a daemon was inches away from cleaving his skull open with an axe. Even getting trapped in the ''warp'' was viewed as nothing more than a minor setback by him.
* WeWillMeetAgain: Promises this to Kitten when he escapes for the first time, and makes good on that promise a season later.

[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ithatts515.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:280:He gets that a lot.]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/FrankyPlaysGames Franky]]
Not your perfect Inquisitorial lackey. Dominique mans one of the arms of Karamazov's throne and while his official job is somewhat unclear (it should be to mindlessly write down everything that Karamazov says), the unofficial seems to be whining and annoying the hell out of his boss, who despite this resorts to grumbling rather than firing him (or firing ''at'' him) on the spot.[[spoiler: It is later learned the his annoying and obnoxious tendencies are actually for a purpose...]]
----
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Karamazov seemed a bit pleased with his passing. Less so about the fact that the rotting remains seems to have been affected by The Warp.
* BiTheWay: He says that his voice is a hit with the ladies, but he also admits that he finds a horde of shirtless Adeptus Custodes to be "sexually confusing" and that they're "making me '''moist.'''"
* BodyHorror: ''Something'' makes his rotten corpse play an eerie tune while snapping and twisting his neck repeatedly to mimic a music box. It's enough to make Fyodor ''instantly'' sober.
* CharacterDeath: He died at some point in Leman Russ's drunk party.
* CluelessDeputy: He accompanies Karamazov everywhere, but seems more bothered by his cigarettes and own (perceived) awesomeness to aid him in any meaningful way.
* DeadpanSnarker: One could suppose it's his defense tactic against Karamazov's shrieking insanity, but he's really snarky at times.
* DueToTheDead: After he dies from overdosing on daemon-derived Fenrisian Ale, Karamazov keeps his rotting corpse on his throne. Later on, [[spoiler:when the Star Child takes over Karamzov's body, Dominique's body disappears as he is taken to the afterlife by Celestine, and his place on the throne is replaced by white coffin covered in golden chains with a golden aquila.]]
* EvilSoundsRaspy: He claims his cigarettes give him a raspy voice that's really popular with ladies. In reality, it's more like squeaking.
* ExorcistHead: His corpse did this repeatedly, complete with the sounds of cracking bone and tearing flesh.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:Hey! Hey, Fyodor! Have a happy new year, pal...]]
* FemmeFatalons: Rare masculine version, he has long talons as nails. He also claims to be quite a womanizer.
* {{Flanderization}}: Inverted. He starts off as a caricature and gets more depth as episodes go on. [[spoiler:This was intentional, as Dominique was intended by the Emperor to help push Karamazov deeper and deeper into insanity so when he ended up in the Warp, he would believe the lie that he was part of the Emperor so hard that a part of the Emperor could manifest and take over his body.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: Dominique takes his death rather well.
-->"Nah. It's all good. I've enjoyed myself. If I knew I'd trip this hard drinking Daemon innards I would've died a long time ago!"
* ItsAllAboutMe: When Karamazov is planning his first invasion of Imperial Palace, Dominique is more concerned with his own discomfort.
* KilledOffScreen: Is found to be dead after Leman Russ pounds Karamazov's face in, possibly caused by alcohol poisoning.
* MustHaveNicotine: Throughout the first attack, he continues asking people for sandpaper cigarettes, and they pop up from time to time later as well.
* NumberTwo: Assistant to Karamazov, to the Inquisitor's woe.
* OnlySaneMan: As time goes on, he turns into this, seemingly being the only member of Karamazov's clique to recognize the insanity of what's going on around him. Then again, he has his own insane moments. [[spoiler:He was, in face, the only sane man because he was conspiring with one of the Emperor's pieces to help drive Karamazov deeper into insanity so the Emperor could take over his body when he ended up in the Warp.]]
* PhraseCatcher: "Be quiet, Dominique!" is something he hears often.
* ServileSnarker: As Karamazov's composure deteriorates, Dominique starts to snark at him more and more often.
* TerribleArtist: Going by his pictures of made-up Ordos he presents to cheer Karamazov up, he has skill of a mediocre MS Paint artist.

A collection of highly religious and incredibly powerful orders who were tasked with rooting out threats caused by aliens, heretics and daemons within The Imperium. Unfortunatley, they have a tendency to cause far more harm than good as a result of their rampant paranoia and fanaticism to dogma, leading to The Emperor eventually having Magnus send the vast majority of them into The Warp along their then appointed representative, Fyodor Karamazov.
----
* CripplingOverspecialization: The Ordo Xenos (or at least Adrielle specifically) are obsessive about fighting genestealers, to the point where their leader doesn't even seem to know what a daemon is.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though Adrielle's constant obsession with genestealers is mostly played for laughs, this pure hatred she has towards them has made her strong enough to singlehandedly take on entire genestealer cults on her own and win without a scratch. [[spoiler: Sadly for her, Skarbrand was far worse than any Genestealer Cult.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:After Elirush and Adrielle meet their fate, Donklas proceeds to mourn them as his friends before praying to not meet the same fate.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Donklas:''' All my friends are dead... I don't want to die in this horrible magical hell...]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They feel no remorse at killing anyone suspected of heresy, and will subject planets to Exterminatus for petty reasons, but they exiled Kryptmann for being too cruel. Rogal points this out when the Emperor makes the mistake of thinking him more rational and less kill-happy.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Despite having doomed at least a few planets through Exterminatus for the most minor offenses, such as ''a single'' oppressed citizen screaming about joining Chaos or ''his own freaking allies doing the killing'', Inquisitor Facesmash avoided getting sent into The Warp like most of his fellow Inquisitors, because he didn't join up with Karamozov. Then in Episode 26: Part 2, he winds up getting pulled into Commorragh due to [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Exterminatusing a sun, seemingly as a form of Retirement/Suicide only for Draigo to hop onto his ship and eat said sun.]]
* HoldTheLine: In Episode 26, they fend off a massive daemon army [[spoiler: that is trying to destroy their psyker force, who are trying to open the Gate of Khaine]]. Unfortunately for them, [[spoiler: their army is substantially smaller and they get massacred once the daemons get into melee. Elirush and Adrielle are {{killed off for real}} in this battle.]]
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Inquisitor Facesmash reacts to Leman Russ ''vaporizing'' a Dark Eldar with RapidFireFisticuffs with almost schoolgirl-like glee.
--->'''Facesmash:''' (pitch slowly rising) Have I died and gone to murder-heaven?
* LampshadeHanging: Donklas in the Warp Hijinks special while drunk lampshades where he got his mask considering the last time he was seen he didn't wear any.
* MauveShirt: Though most of them are tough enough to survive for a while in the Warp, particularly when they drink Leman Russ' Fenrisian Ale, in Episode 26 [[spoiler:both Adrielle and Grand Master Elirush are slain in battle by Skarbrand. Donklas only survives by "enforcing discipline in the back" and grabbing the Sister of Battle Canoness as the Sisters get slaughtered.]]
* NoNameGiven: Adrielle wasn't named until Alfa learned she actually ''has'' one in 40k proper. Grand Master Elirush and Ordo Hereticus Agent Donklas' names are only known because Episode 26 Part 1 is a general recreation of an actual tabletop battle and the results of key moments of the game are displayed on screen as the action unfolds.
* OnlySaneMan: You will have a hard time finding anyone in the Inquisition as sane or reasonable as Coteaz.
** Ironically, the most sane among them is ''Kryptmann''.
-->'''Kryptmann''': My opinion '''IS''': straight-laced, self-strangulating sheeplings slapping "heresy" on anything even halfway logical is what brought us into this mess in the first place. Maybe taking two seconds to consider options that aren't "purge this," "cleanse that," and "BURN BURN BURN!" might prove beneficial even if you don't wind up doing it.
** Later on, [[OmnicidalManiac Headsmash]] is also the voice of reason after [[spoiler: Emperor!Fyodor uses his psychic powers to convince the Inquisition to work with the Dark Eldar]].
-->'''Headsmash''': So, like.. am I actually going to have to be the straight man here in pointing out how bad this idea is? It feels... ''gross''.
* PragmaticVillainy: Kryptman seems to be a big believer in this. He is by any estimation a terrible person, but he seems less interested in committing atrocities for fun than because he genuinely thinks they're legitimate means to an end. That said, he's managed to kill exponentially more innocent people than have the Inquisitors who ''do'' murder for fun, with the exception of Headsmash.[[note]]That 'greatest genocide in the history of the Imperium' he's mentioned committing was an attempt to starve a Tyranid Hive Fleet to death by ordering the Exterminatus of a dozen worlds in its path, thus denying it biomass. Didn't work.[[/note]]
* RunOrDie: [[spoiler: Donklas only lives because he knows better than to fight the daemons directly in melee.]]
-->'''Donklas''' (dragging the Canoness): Now is not the time for lying about. Now is the time for running the fuck away!
* SexIsViolence: Ordo Hereticus Agent Donklas finds it rather arousing to kill potential heretics.
* StateSec: Their role before The Emperor disbanded them is to find and execute (possible) enemies to the state. Or, in their words, "PURGE THE HERETICS!"
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:An older Kryptman from the Behemoth Shorts returns in Episode 26: Part 2]]
* UngratefulBastard [[spoiler: The Star-Child infused Fyodor, essentially the Emperor himself, saves what remains of the Inquisition from being killed by the Chaos army as well as saving them from a Dark Eldar trap and healing those caught in said trap. Yet despite all this, the moment he merely suggests they should just hear what the Dark Eldar are saying because they are acting really atypical for their race? They ''immediately'' start calling him a heretic.]]

!!The Ultramarines, Honorable Battlebrothers, The Emperor's Finest, THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL!
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ithatts7.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:280:Even their Chapter Master can't stand them.]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kokarorloli Karl The Deranged]] (Marneus Augustus Calgar), [[https://www.youtube.com/user/2kor517 Ironbeard]] (Uriel Ventris), [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Kochiha Kochiha Ichihara]] (Cato Sicarius)
The Imperium's greatest Space Marines, capable of succeeding in any mission, no matter how dangerous, suicidal, and outright sabotaged by their own side it is.
----
* AchillesInHisTent: Calgar spends the first two seasons of the show moping on Ultramar about what his Space Marines have become. This in turn allows Cato Sicarius to go over his head to accept assignments from Terra without having to run them by him first, which eventually sickens Maneius enough that he decides to lead the charge in the third season's newest mission for his chapter.
* AtomicFBomb: Marneius Calgar let one off when being told that the Ultramarines had collected all of the Salamanders' artifacts.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Calgar and Ventris end up getting on a tangent where they talk about random things for literally ''months'' on end because Ventris randomly brought up his armor's green trim and the two got sidetracked.
* BerserkButton:
** When Cato Sicarius suggests that any Ultramarine casualties are meaningless [[GloryHound if it means furthering his reputation and glory]], Calgar snaps and threatens to shove his power fist up Sicarius' ass. When Sicarius high-tails it out of the room he grumbles in frustration that one of these days that he needs to stop threatening to do so and ACTUALLY do it. Come episode 21, he really does punch Sicarius in the face when the latter is ranting how he was able to defeat a [[PhysicalGod C'tan]].
** Uriel Ventris is ''decidedly'' miffed about his MyGreatestFailure moment (releasing the C'tan Nightbringer) being inexplicably and casually rendered insignificant (the Nightbringer was actually just a shard. An ''itsy bitsy little Shard'').
** Cato Sicarius also has one in the form of being interrupted during his narcissistic squealing.
--->'''*In a lower, indignant, snarled voice*''' ''"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT THE FEEDBACK SESSION OF I, CATO SICARIUS!?"''
* BeyondTheImpossible: The Emperor deliberately gives them {{Impossible Task}}s and yet they keep succeeding.
** How about riding into galaxy's biggest daemon hotspot with your anti-daemon fields off, in a single ship, to find and capture (''alive'') the second most powerful psyker in existence and come back alive? More, even, with minimal casualties? Why not?
** Not enough? Just go on to casually find all of the remaining Artifacts of Vulkan in under a year and deliver them directly to Nocturne. The Salamanders have been searching for the better part of 10,000 years.
** This is [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in episode 21 by Calgar and Ventris, with the latter pointing out that the changes in history all have this theme, caused by a certain force, which Calgar tries to dismiss defensively.
* BoringInvincibleHero: Their Chapter Master certainly thinks so, to the extent that he gets a depression from this.
-->'''Marneus Calgar''': ''*Sobbing*'' Holy Emperor...This is shameful...Nothing is satisfying anymore...
* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're annoying. They're invincible to the point some feel bored. They're as [[invoked]] MarySue as it goes. But ''by the Emperor'' are they effective.
* CoolMask: Their armour, based on Heresy-era [[http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Invictarus_Suzerain Invictarii]], has a really cool wing design on its mask.
* DarkSecret: Ventris has begun to suspect that some higher power influences events to always make the Ultramarines succeed against all odds and retconning their defeats to lessen or ignore them. It seems Calgar himself knows more about this than he is willing to say... [[spoiler:The second part of ''Behemoth'' makes it clear that whatever happened took place shortly after Calgar's disastrous confrontation with the Swarmlord in Macragge.]]
* DemotedToExtra: By order of Calgar, Illiyan is not to receive any screentime at all and must be as irrelevant as possible.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Whether it is out of fear of their lethality and/or of how annoying they can be, both the forces of the Imperium and those of Chaos consider being banished to Ultramar as one of these as it is the penalty of high-stakes "Ultragames."
* {{Flanderization}}: Their portrayal here is based on 5th Edition Space Marines 'dex which is often accused of making them Sue-ish, overblowing the Chapter's previous vanilla portrayal and being just flat-out unrealistic. Here, they truly are as invincible, goody-two-shoes and Codex-Astartes-worshipping as the 5th-Ed's deriders would have you believe... and [[NervousWreck it's driving their Chapter Master crazy]].
** This also seems to have happened in-universe, with the Ultramarines shown in ''Behemoth'' being as diverse, flawed, and [[RuleOfFunny eccentric]] as any other Chapter/group shown in the series with a wide range of different characters shown and no sign of the absurdly perfect and unstoppable [[MarySue Mary Sues]] they would become. After being slaughtered by the Tyranids almost all these unique characters would disappear save Calgar and Ventris, replaced by faceless and identical ParodySue Ultramarines and [[SmugSnake Cato Sicarius]].
* GloryHound: Sicarius believes that it doesn't matter how many are sacrificed if it advances his personal glory. [[PapaWolf Calgar almost punches his head off for this]].
* ImpossibleTask: The feats they accomplished were deliberately designed by The Emperor with two goals in mind:
** 1: to be impossible so that they would fail for once and stop acting insufferably smug.
** 2: To abuse the hell out of their PlotArmor in the event that [[XanatosGambit they actually succeed]].
* InUniverseNickname:
** They repeatedly get called "Smurfs" by the Emperor, despite no-one getting the reference.
** Calgar and Ventris refer to Cato Sicarius as [[CountryMatters Cunto]] Shitarius when it's just the two of them.
* IncomingHam: '''I, Cato Sicarius of the GLORIOUS and Famed 2nd Company''' shall bring the ham wherever it is needed!
* LargeHam: They have a truly grandiose way of speaking WITH COURARGE AND HONOR!
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx61xeDV_60 The Ultramarines Chant]]. Their constant chanting is partly why the Emperor hates them so much.
* LightningBruiser: As a parody of ''Dawn of War III'''s incident with Terminator Armor, Calgar is an utterly silly version of these, what with punches that can one-shot titans and being able to somersault so damn far ''due'' to the Terminator armor he doesn't need jump packs to be fast.
* MarriedToTheJob: Their reward for capturing Magnus is some purity seals and materials to prepare for their next mission. They're more than happy about it.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Calgar certainly seems to think so. Whatever DealWithTheDevil he struck made his chapter borderline unstoppable and successful at everything they do, but you can only effortlessly succeed so many times until all those victories start to ring hollow and meaningless. It's part of the reason Calgar's so goddamn exhausted all the time.
* OnlySaneMan: Calgar and Ventris seem to fulfill this role. Ventris seems well-adjusted to Chapter's insanity, but Calgar seems to have been spiraling into a deep depression for awhile.
* ParodySue: The Emperor realizes that they win all the time and succeed at anything, regardless of how against sanity and common sense victory would be. He admits he only puts up with this ridiculousness because they're useful.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Ventris seems to be the only one besides Calgar that notices that their chapter history appears to be changing. Granted, he's the only one besides Calgar left who has a unique identity and isn't [[GloryHound Cato]] [[SmugSnake Sicarius]]
* SarcasmBlind: When Calgar is furiously mocking their perfection and belief in Codex Astartes, the Ultramarine he's talking to takes it at face value. They also fail to note malicious undertones to their order to switch their Gellar field off.
* SendInTheClones: Apart from Calgar, Sicarius, Ventris and a lone Devastator, they all look and act the same - at first resembling the First Company, and, later,the Honour Guard.
** Averted in the Behemoth prequel where each Ultramarine shown is a unique model/art depiction with his own personality before the eponymous Tyranid invasion. After the near extermination of the chapter and still unknown DealWithTheDevil Calgar made to save it, nearly all these unique marines are gone and replaced by the aforementioned clones.
*** While there were still some using the Honour Guard model before and during the invasion, they stilled showed a different, more intelligent personality than the later clones, including pointing out when their chapter master was doing something stupid.
* ThereWasADoor:
** Cato Sicarius is seemingly addicted to bursting through walls, ceilings, and [[UpToEleven seemingly floors]] like a power-armored Kool-Aid Man, having yet to enter any room in any other fashion.
** At one point, an Ultramarine Land Raider is driven through a wall.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Cato Sicarius ''obsessively'' refers to himself when speaking.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Marneus once threw a copy of the Codex at an Eldar so hard its spine was bent into a semicircle.
* VerbalTic: The normal Ultramarines keeps referring to each other as "Honorable Battlebrother". In the closed captions all of their actions are always prefixed with "Ultra", such as Ultra-Crying, Ultra-Fuckin'-Crying, Ultra-sigh, Ultra-Laughing, Ultra-Groaning etc.
* VocalDissonance: Cato Sicarius has a distinctly high voice that nobody else has and completely clashes with his prestigious Captain armor.
* WithCatlikeTread: Drop off Vulkan's {{Mac Guffin}}s by driving a land raider through the wall of the Salamanders' fortress-monestary while loudly chanting. Nobody notices this. The Salamander sentries even comment that it's a "quiet day", bare seconds afterwards.

!!The Dark Angels, The most Loyal and Honest Chapter with no Heretical Secrets to hide at all!
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/they_are_the_best.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:280:The most loyal servants the Imperium could hope for![[labelnote:From left to right]][[OnlySaneMan Belial]], [[NervousWreck Azrael]] and [[AxCrazy Asmodai]][[/labelnote]] ]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://soundcloud.com/callmegemineye Gemineye]] (Azrael), Alfabusa (Azmodai and Snurko), [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkPp-2MJ0LgHuBrCfZ2JJxQ Fusion]] (Belial)
A chapter led by Azrael, Asmodai, and Belial, a trio of paranoid wrecks obsessed with finding Cypher and the rest of The Fallen while trying to keep it all a secret from the rest of the Imperium.
----
* AxCrazy: Azrael and Asmodai. Azrael is so wracked with paranoia that he orders two Dark Angels executed for hearing information that they were ''allowed'' to know. As for Asmodai...
--> '''Belial''': You know he hears "make them repent." as "murder them violently."
--> '''Azrael''': Yes, Asmodai is a fucking asshood who can't make anyone repent...
--> '''Asmodai''': ''DID SOMEONE SAY "Murder anyone violently?!?"''
* BadassPreacher: Asmodai, whose main method of making people repent is to bash them over the head with his giant crozius.
--> ''REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!!''
* DramaQueen: It doesn't take much to turn Belial into a crying wreck. Even making a snarky comment at him will cause him to tear up. And yet he's the OnlySaneMan.
* HairTriggerTemper: As Snurko found out the hard way, Azrael truly has "The Emperor's Temper".
* HangingJudge: It's pretty clear from a stream announcement that he Asmodai cares less about making people repent and more concerned with bashing heads in.
--> ''JUST KIDDING! YOU CAN NEVER REPENT! HAHA! I'M SENDING YOU ON A FUCKING PENANCE-CRUSADE!!''
* HypocriticalHumor: Azrael calls the Adeptus Mechanics out for having hidden agendas and secret circles and ominous hoods...
* InsaneTrollLogic: ''Anything'' is, in their eyes, a sign of someone working for The Fallen. Even the Adeptus Mechanicus simply reaching a planet before they do is enough for them to jump to such extreme conclusions.
* ModernMajorGeneral: Technically, Asmodai's job as Interrogator-Chaplain is to make the traitorous angels repent during interrogations. And while he's an extremely experienced combatant and a decent enough commander, enough to be one of the Chapter's heads, he ''sucks'' at his actual job because [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique his interrogations are so intense no one ever survives them long enough to actually repent]], and that's [[AxCrazy if they even make it alive to the torture chamber to begin with]].
* NervousWreck: Azrael. The man sounds like he's constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
* OnlySaneMan: For a given value of sane given it's [[TheParanoiac the Dark Angels]], but Belial is the least likely of the three leaders to jump straight to murder and actively tries to find peaceful ways to settle disputes. He's the only reason the meeting between the Mechanicus and the Chapter doesn't devolve into outright bloodshed.
* TheParanoiac: They are all constantly on the verge of lunacy due to their paranoia, but Azrael is moreso than anyone in the entire chapter, to the point he had two Dark Angels murdered for hearing about the Fallen despite the fact they had ''just'' been inducted into the Inner Circle and thus were ready to know about them.
* RightUnderTheirNoses: Azrael, Belial and Asmodai somehow do not recognize Cypher when he is standing right next to them. It's impossible to tell if they're confusing him for a loyalist Dark Angel or not, but knowing this series...
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Snurko, Azrael's Watcher in The Dark, which can only be described as something ripped out of an 80s cartoon. Made even worse by the fact that it is the only Watcher that actually talks.

!!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.
----
* 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!''
* 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, 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").
* 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.
* 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.
* 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' 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' 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 as a result.
** 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.

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.
* Main/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 Primarch "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.

Another of the 20 primarchs, and the Emperor's self-appointed Executioner. Prophesized to return during the End Times to fight again alongside the fellow defenders of the Imperium.
----
* ARealManIsAKiller: Proudly boasts to a Deathwatch soldier he has 300 ''million'' confirmed kills. These are just the CONFIRMED kills, ones in which there were either witnesses or a body left behind to confirm the kill. When you consider that Leman has been in the Warp for a long time and the very concept of surviving in the Warp mandates the ability to slaughter Daemons on a massive scale, it is VERY likely that his ''actual'' number of kills is ''immeasurably'' higher (though given that what he was saying was a parody of the Navy SEALS copypasta, he may just be making stuff up).
* TheAlcoholic: He's so dedicated to his drink he attempted to recreate Fenrisian Ale with a mix of Bylestim [[note]]a combat drug made from, among other things, Warpblood from a Lesser Daemon and powdered Wraithbone[[/note]] and the distilled liver-juices of a Bloodthirster into a [[GargleBlaster drink so potent]] it [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure generated an aura of menace.]]
* ArchEnemy: Seems to consider Magnus the Red this, a sentiment the former Chaos Primarch wholly reciprocates. Simply the mention of him being in the throne room with the Emperor was enough to send Russ into TranquilFury, ignore his previous anger against Karamazov, and decide to finally leave the Warp.
* BadassBaritone: The Primarch of the Space Wolves has a fittingly deep and commanding voice courtesy of his actor Zoran The Bear.
* BadassBoast: He does a Space Marine variation on the infamous Navy SEAL copypasta. [[NotHyperbole amusingly enough, it's not exactly inaccurate in his case]].
* BerserkButton: ''Really'' does not appreciate Fyodor openly claiming that he is the mortal embodiment of the emperor and calling him "son", though not nearly to the same degree as any mention of Magnus the Red, which is strong enough to make him completely ignore the former button being pressed.
* BestialityIsDepraved: Both Magnus and the Emperor are convinced he has a wolf fetish, with the former always referring to him as a "[[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry fuck]]". It's not really clear if that's true or they're both overhyping his...quirks, but he certainly does have a love of saying the word "wolf" or some variation thereof.
* BoisterousBruiser: Keeps going on about how he is a badass due to wolves while chugging warp-brewed liquor.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Presented as a fairly badass individual capable enough to handle the entire Inquisition single-handedly and live in the Warp without losing his sanity... And also absolutely obsessed with wolves, and alcohol.
* DeadpanSnarker: While the Emperor loves to fly into rage, Russ' disses are usually more subtle and delivered in more deadpan fashion.
* {{Determinator}}: The only way to survive in the Warp is to genuinely believe, whole-heartedly, that you can fight and win. Normal humans cannot, and even Inquisitors need to get boozed up on Russ' ale to survive. Leman Russ, however, is able to carry out his endless, centuries-long war in the Warp singlehandedly (with some help from Kaldor Draigo, though he doesn't really count) based on his pure willpower...and some ale never hurt either.
* DrunkenMaster: It's implied that he preserved his sanity through his long stay in the Warp by being drunk the whole time. It also helps him defeat the many daemons he encounters.
* {{Facepalm}}: [[spoiler: His entire reaction and feelings summed up when the Inquisition starts calling the Star-Child infused Fyodor, essentially the Emperor himself, a ''heretic''.]]
* ForeignCussWord: "I mean, for [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Helvete's]] sake, you look like you haven't fought or fucked anything for decades, you MILKSOP!"
* PersonalRaincloud: His surroundings in the Warp look like a small-scale Fenris reenaction.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Makes absurdly sexist comments towards the Sisters of Battle, most prominently the below-mentioned "Red Rage" joke. It's PlayedForLaughs.
* RaisedByWolves: He thinks it is a great idea for other people to be so as well because wolf raising made him wolfin' strong!
* RapidFireFisticuffs: [[spoiler: Leman wasn't kidding when he said he was a CQC expert, seeing as how with ''one punch'' he literally tore a Dark Eldar in half and then proceeded to utilize this trope on the upper half til it's red misty death.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Delivers one to Karamazov as soon as he encounters him. It's about how he's a pussy for sitting on his throne all the time instead of killing things personally and it completely breaks Karamazov.
** In the TTS Special Warp Hijinx, he gives one to EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF THE INQUISITION ORDERS on why they won't survive in the Warp.
*** The Ordos Xenos are gene-stealer obsessed nuts who don't even know what daemons are.
*** The Grey Knights are the inquisitorial equivalent of spoiled wealthy children (and the leading Grey Knight's accent is weird and full of waffles, probably because his voice actor is from Belgium).
*** The Ordos Hereticus is the inquisitorial equivalent of child molesters, who will likely kill more inquisitors than the daemons.
*** The Sisters of Battle will be "eaten out like ice cream sandwiches by daemons of Khorne when [their] red rage starts".
*** The Stormtroopers are so pathetic that they explode with little or no provocation.
*** The Deathwatch are pussies because they've only fought pussy enemies like the Tau ("who don't even fight in melee!"). And Calato (the Dark Angel who keeps firing back at Russ) specifically is a "nancy lion-lover BITCH".
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Does he look thousands of years old? Granted, time is funky in the Warp.
* RedBaron: Introduces himself as the Primarch of the Vlka Fenryka, the Wolf King of Fenris and the Emperor's Executioner.
* {{Smurfing}}: Sometimes, particularly when upset. "What the WOLF did you just say about me!?"
* TranquilFury: His reaction to Karamazov calling him son. Which leads into [[MegatonPunch a blow to the face so hard and loud it can be heard outside of the warp and in the Imperial Palace!]] But even that is nothing compared to any mention of Magnus the Red. His voice is low, but full of hatred, and the entire Warp surrounding them ''turns black'' when he's brought up.
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: He was preparing a massacre of Daemon villagers whose activities involved kissing their wives and working in the Nurgling mines.
* VerbalTic: Has a habit of inserting "wolf" or some variation of it into his sentences, particularly when he's shouting.

** As silly and ridiculous as he is, Kaldor Draigo is so incredibly powerful and dangerous that [[spoiler: the Deceiver himself]] is afraid of him and is moving to stop him from returning to the Materium.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He might be a complete loon, but he sure knows how to wreck Daemons and fallen Primarchs.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It doesn't matter how much of a badass you are. Spend enough time in the Warp and you ''will'' go nuts eventually! This has reached the point where Russ doesn't even consider him ''sentient'' anymore. [[UpToEleven Draigo agrees.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Defeats Magnus before Kitten can even finish a sentence, and later destroys [[spoiler:the Masque of Slaanesh]] with a single stab.
* DemonSlaying: He's so good at it that he knocks out the true form of Magnus the Red in a single punch in the blink of an eye.
* EpicFail: In Episode 26, due to the battle being modeled after a real game of Warhammer the creators played wherein Draigo fell prey to the ultimate enemy of any 40K soldier- [[RandomNumberGod repeatedly failing your rolls.]]
* GoKartingWithBowser: While he may be the greatest daemon-slayer in the whole of the galaxy or Warp, he's still a swell enough guy that Lucius and Ahriman invited him as a guest for their Slaaneshmas show. He's also strongly implied by the Masque to be [[spoiler:the Silver Knight of Slaanesh, as the Masque speaks to him in a friendly manner and then calls him a traitor when he suddenly stabs her in the face.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: Like most of the Grey Knights he carries a Nemesis Force Sword, although considering his insanity he rarely ever uses it normally.
* LargeHam: Even when he is whispering his presence is huge.
-->'''Draigo''': ORDO DRAIGO PRESENT! [[LampshadeHanging WE WILL PROVIDE THE HAMS!]]
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Carries around a shield that looks like the Inquisition's logo, although he actually never uses it.
* OldMaster: At least a few centuries old and still slaughtering daemons.
* ParodySue: A deconstruction of Drago, who has been decried by most of the fandom as a CanonSue for being able to not only survive in the [[EldritchLocation Warp]], but also fight Chaos on its own turf, single-handedly, and actually score victories. In ''TTS'', due to the Warp's YourMindMakesItReal properties, it ''is'' possible to survive in the Warp if you have enough unshakable confidence in yourself - but the only way to attain it is to either be piss-drunk (like Leman Russ) or be stark raving mad. This results in a Draigo who is [[GodModeSue every bit as powerful as he is in canon alright]], but he's less the flawless paragon of righteousness Matt Ward portrayed him as and more of a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Erasing an entire star from existence has to qualify, and the Deceiver is entirely convinced he is one so powerful and unstable the galaxy may not survive his return to the material world]].
* SelfDuplication: Claims to be a member of the "Ordo Draigo", which consists entirely of warpspawned clones of himself.
* ShoutOut: He's a giant walking shout-out to [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/598617 "Trials of Draigo" by FlashGitz]].
* SuddenlyShouting: Don't expect his insanity to allow him to speak in a quiet manner for too long.
* SummoningRitual: If you require his services, you will need a Dreadknight, a kettle of Sororitas blood, and the book of Magnus, while reading a backwards chant that praises the Grey Knights.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite the fact that he's lost his grip on reality (or reality's lost his grip on him. Probably both) and his propensity for surreal visual gags, Russ seems unable to notice or acknowledge him. In episode 24, he's conversing relatively normally, suggesting that Russ is used to Kaldor's eccentricities.
* WeirdSun: He claims to be a warp star, and can shine like one to prove it. This apparently counts as a "sunrise" in the Warp. He also [[spoiler:literally survives being inside a sun on sheer willpower]].
* YourMindMakesItReal: A feature of the Warp but combined with Draigo's insanity, this has created some...interesting results.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA''']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' [[https://youtu.be/RtAH7kGEqic?t=1m5s Screaming Blood Raven Sergeant from the Dawn of War intro cinematic]]
A man renowned for his might in combat and his famous warcry, Sly Marbo travels from planet to planet by foot to kick heretical and xeno ass wherever he is needed the most.
----
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: And freaking ''fly'' through it as well!
* BattleCry: His only form of communication is shouting.
* BigDamnHeroes: A few times, such as when he fended off a Dark Eldar looting session [[spoiler: and saving Corvus from a extremely toxic Barking Toad.]]
* BloodKnight: He accepts an ''invitation'' to the Slaaneshmas Special, apparently for the opportunity to go 1 v. 3 against the Chaos Champions (sans Kharn).
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After three Dark Eldar melee combatants attack him only to bounce off, it looks like he beats the crap out of them using his own subtitles.
* ComicallyInvincibleHero: By all accounts there's nothing in 40k that can stop him, such that he travels through space unshielded to whatever world needs him. The only opponents to even survive an encounter with him are Lucius, Ahriman, and Typhus together. This is all played for laughs.
* FaceHeelTurn: In the non-canonical April Fool's Day video, he's the last of Fucking Horus's allies that show up to overthrow the recently-resurrected Emperor.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: He has these, but they don't give any advice other than '''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'''
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Even though he carries a gun and a knife, he ignores them in favor of his feet and fists.
* HumbleHero: Although it's hard to determine a man's characterization when all he says is '''AAAAAAAAAAAAA''', the first thing he does after [[spoiler: rescuing Corvus Corax from a Greater Catachan Barking Toad is to ''bow'' to the Primarch.]]
* MakeMeWannaShout: The man's shout is so Mighty that it can rip apart metal.
* MemeticBadass: His characterization is largely based on a running joke in the fandom that casts him in the same light as Chuck Norris. As such, anything he does can be written off as him simply being Sly ''Fucking'' Marbo. Humorously, he carries this reputation among the Jungle Fighters InUniverse as well.
* NiceGuy: Strangely, both Ahriman and Lucius think he's a pretty great guy, despite him handing them and Typhus a CurbStompBattle when he went on the Slaaneshmas broadcast after receiving an invitation. Unless, of course, the two of them are talking about Kharn (who is ''the'' memetic nice guy of the Warhammer 40K universe) instead.
* NoIndoorVoice: His sole method of communication is an incoherent scream.
* NotQuiteFlight: He can simulate flying via his aerodynamic musculature and knowledge of jungle tree buoyancy... on Catachan. Everywhere else he's soaring around like it's nothing, even in space!
* OneManArmy: The man liberated an entire planet from the Dark Eldar all by himself.
* ParodySue: Even more so than The Ultramarines themselves as he is just a nondescript soldier who bulldozes everything for laughs.
* ScreamingWarrior: Constantly and without pause (most of the time).

Sister Superior of the Seraphim Squad, Ephrael was one of the Battle Sisters not sent into the Eye of Terror, in her case due to her being in the Black Library.
----
* AmazonianBeauty: Fairly attractive, but even by the standards of [[AmazonBrigade the Sisters of Battle]], she's quite terrifying.
* BadassCape: Wears one big enough to cover her ShouldersOfDoom, as is appropriate for a Sister Superior.
* {{BFS}}: Is seen clasping a two-handed sword in her gauntlets.
* BigEater: At least by Eldar standards. She complains that the food she's given by the Eldar isn't sufficient for someone like her, a human at '''[[SuddenlyShouting PEAK PERFORMANCE]]'''.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Is able to make demands to Ceogorath without any consequences or hint of fear. Bear in mind that Ceogorath just put the fear of god into [[BadassArmy the Custodes.]]
** Specifically, she threatens to ''start a BookBurning'' in ''[[MagicalLibrary the Black Library]], '''to the face of [[MadGod the Laughing God.]]''''' For a similar offense, Ceogorath decides to obliterate a Chaos Space Marine chapter, but he refuses to say anything against Stern.
* FacialMarkings: Has a cross-shaped mark on her left cheek.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: At least she seems to think so. She's genuinely pleased to see the two Custodians appear in the Black Library, as she mistakes them for Eldar "on the path of the swole."
* MysticalWhiteHair: Is white-haired and there is clearly something to her that she can stand up to Ceogorath.
* PerpetualFrowner: Even accounting for the limits of the series, the Thrice-Born would be hard-pressed to do anything but scowl.
* TheStoic: Never raises her voice beyond a stern growl.

-->'''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.
----
* 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.
* 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 is 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]].
* TheDreaded: As a Primarch, Corvus is so powerful that the Masque of Slaanesh, a powerful daemon, opts to flee on-sight 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 Dropsite Massacre and 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.)
* ForgotICouldFly: Tells Magnus he's gonna kill him...once he remembers how to move his legs. [[RealityEnsues Superhuman or not, several millennia in a tight box unable to move plays havoc on one's motor functions]].
* 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 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' 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 do phase through things, which makes it funny how he got stuck in the Engine of Woe.
* 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.]]
* 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.
* 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.''
* 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.
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: ''[[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.]]
* 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!]]
* KilledOffForReal: Potentially, assuming he's not just a hallucination. then 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 Hand's 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' legion, 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']] 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 a "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.
* {{Foil}}: To the Custodes. Both are [[WalkingShirtlessScene Walking Shirtless Scenes]], but the Custodes choose to undress for purely exhibitionist purposes while the Catachan guard wear as little as possible to make the most with scarce resources (and so that their superiors can sell propaganda of them). Both have TestosteronePoisoning, but the Catachan guard don't make a big deal out of it. The Custodes are heavily augmented and look down on regular humans while the Catachan guard are all normal humans whose strength stems purely from their TrainingFromHell. Both are badass armies, but the Custodes (apart from Kitten) [[BrilliantButLazy never train or fight unless ordered to by the Emperor]], while the Catachan guard spend all of their time either on the front lines or sharpening their skills on their home planet. The Catachan guard travel all over to fight for the Imperium while the Custodes never leave the Imperial palace unless forced to. Both have scenes where their innuendos creep someone out, but for the Catachan guards it's either [[InnocentInnuendo unintentional]] or very toned-down (or both). Also when politely asked to stop oogling [[spoiler: Corvus]], the Catachan guards immediately stop, whereas the Custodes refuse direct orders from the Emperor Himself to so much as tone it down a little.
* 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 demon 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. The lesser ones are actually fairly easy to avoid death, 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).

[[caption-width-right:319:'''WAAH!''']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Bruva Alfabusa
Effectively the Chapter Master of the Black Templars, and the man in command of perhaps the greatest army of Space Marines out there. He gets dragged into a podcast with the Emperor as a way to give him, and thus his entire chapter, some much-needed anger therapy.
----
* AxCrazy: He's the Chapter Master of the Black Templars, who are essentially the canon equivalent of Angry Marines. What else do you expect?
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Terminology issues are one of the biggest peeves the Emperor has with him and his legion. He tries to get pissed off about it, calling the terminology holy, but the Emperor shuts him down, telling him he ''will'' take the criticism for confusing the hell out of everyone. As to the issues themselves, most of them tend to be minor but bothersome (High Marshal vs. Chaptermaster). It even extends outside his legion; he calls his own HeroicBSOD "crusading inwardly".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thinks that a couch, which is meant to be comfortable, should be made of stone because stone is a harder material. His solution to Boy getting a shard in his eye to telling Boy to hate the shard, believing that hating an object will cause the wound to go away.
* CrazyAwesome: Apparently, the only reason the Black Templars are fleet-based is because you can't go crusading with a planet. ''They have tried''.
* FantasticRacism: Xenos and heretics aside, he seems to find the mere ''existence'' of mutants to be an affront to humanity in itself, an insulting deviation from the Emperor's perfect form that ought to be lethally corrected as soon as able. Then again, his thresholds for what qualifies or not as a mutant are dangerously broad, and spare no one; when the Emperor pointed out that, technically, being bald is a deviation from his form and thus a mutant by his standards, ''he almost scalped himself in pure self-hatred right then and there'' before the Emperor stopped him from that. He also has a mental breakdown when a Xeno (a necron, to be specific) approves of what he's doing, because by continuing to purge he'd be agreeing with a filthy xeno, but stopping his crusades would be equally as heretical.
* {{Hypocrite}}: The Custodes and the Emperor pointed Hellbrecht on the issues of Psykers and Navigators, both of whom are defined as "mutants" yet necessary for space travel that Black Templars need as a fleet-based chapter. Helbrecht justified this contradiction by stating that Psykers and Navigators are indeed employed, but they will be slated to be killed later after all mutants are exterminated in the galaxy.
-->'''Helbrecht:''' We figured we would kill them last...
* InelegantBlubbering: The tantrums he throws when he thinks ''he's'' the one being heretical are comparable to an eight year old's own, complete with high-pitched screaming.
* LargeHam: Has NoIndoorVoice and is prone to breaking into grandiose speeches.
* LiteralMinded: Though not as extreme a case as the Templars' progenitor, Helbrecht nonetheless has... ''issues'' with interpreting idioms too literally. When the Emperor tells him to "get [the Black Templar's] shit together" he initially assumes he means to collect their excrement in mounds as ammunition. That and when the Emperor talks about himself shitting on the Ultramarines, he thinks it was entirely literal.
* NoIndoorVoice: The man won't lower his voice even if the Emperor himself ordered him to, and screams like a psychopath throughout the entire podcast.
-->''I am not shouting! I am but exercising the MIGHT of my vocal chords, Emperor!''
-->''''' SILENCE IS FOR THE GRAVE!'''''
* NobleDemon: The Emperor acknowledges that for all of their many flaws, the Black Templars (and Helbrecht by extension) are living proof that Legions can exist and still serve the interests of the Imperium without falling to seed like Horus'.
* PerpetualFrowner: While the LimitedAnimation of the show (especially for the podcast) prevents one from seeing it, according to the Emperor his scowl is so intense and fixed it would have to be ''surgically removed'' for him to make any other sort of expression.
* ThePowerOfHate: He values it, and drives his legion forwards with it; he plans on tempering it and controlling it before unleashing it on the foes of mankind once the podcast is done, rather than simply let it rule him like before.
* PsychopathicManchild: His tendency to blurt out baby-like cries, along with his childish voice, didn't help with his aggressive nature.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He turns out to be this once the Emperor steers him in the right direction. While he doesn't take well some of the Emperor's decrees and affirmations, he recognizes that the Emperor outranks him and thus should be obeyed and swears to make everything he can to make sure his men will uphold the Emperor's will concerning the Black Templars.
* RecognitionFailure: He completely fails to recognize Rogal Dorn, just assuming him to be an Imperial Fist Centurion through the entire podcast. Then again, Rogal was wearing his helmet the entire time precisely because he didn't want to be recognized, and Helbrecht seemed to catch on in the last moments of the podcast, but doesn't act on it, claiming that everything will be revealed in due time.
* SensoryAbuse: In-universe, everyone hates his voice to the point of physical pain due to volume and enough raspiness to flay a man to the bone. He even shatters his own mug of tea when screaming.
-->'''Whammudes:''' MY EARDRUMS ARE LEAKING.
* VerbalTic: When berated, interrupted or generally contradicted, he usually belts out an indignant, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Waluigi-esque]] "WAAH!".
* VocalDissonance: The man is a giant, [[BaldOfAwesome utterly bald]] Space Marine at the head of the only actual Legion in the Imperium and with a heavy scowl that Judge Dredd would approve of, but his voice... [[note]] Granted it's also like that in canon sources but definitely not to this level [[/note]]

* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Receiving a letter from a Necron Lord who is pleased with his crusades against another Necron Lord utterly confuses him and fills him with horrified shame turning into a panic attack, [[InsaneTrollLogic as that means he's doing something to ''help'' a xeno and that makes him a heretic.]] It gets so bad ''the Emperor and Dorn'' themselves have to calm him down.

!! Billy, unfortunate Psyker Mutant
-> '''Voiced by:''' Alfabusa
A young boy who always wear a box on his head and constantly finds himself in terrifying situations. Knows Boy, one of the Highlords, and is a mutant.
----
* CosmicPlaything: So far he's been run over by Magnus on a bike, lost all his friends to said bike incident, been stalked by Lucius, been kidnapped by Dark Eldar, lost his friends again to the Dark Eldar, and been bashed in the face with a baseball bat by an Astartes. He survived these experiences, but they no doubt take its toll on the boy's psyche.
* EpilepticTrees: Remilez theorizes that he is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uv3Kzm65nM Kaldor Draigo]], who in turn is time displaced.
* [[{{Mutants}} Mutant]]: Boy offhandedly mentions that he's a mutant. What kind is yet to be stated, but it could explain why he's always wearing a box.
** Alternatively, it could simply be that as a psyker, he is already considered a mutant.
* PsychicPowers: Billy is a latent psyker, which Lucius takes advantage of to prank call him.

Celestine is one of the Living Saints, a handful of extremely important people in the Imperial faith who have displayed miraculous powers and have been canonized by a conclave of the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition. She is known to come to the rescue of Imperial forces in the most dire of times.
----
* CoolSword: The sword she carries around is called The Ardent Blade while she doesn't get to use it, it still looks pretty cool.
* HolyHalo: The armour she wears which is The Armour of Saint Katherine incorporates an elaborate ornamental halo. Given Celestine's status as a Living Saint, the imagery drives that point home even more.
* {{Psychopomp}}: She serves this role, escorting the souls of the faithful to the Emperor to their safe afterlife in the Warp.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Randolph Carter
A glowing child with the voice of a man who rides a reed boat. Implied to be the Emperor's lost soul or the embodiment of his discarded compassion and humanity that he needed to lose in order to lead the Imperium.
----
* AbsurdlyBrightLight: After [[spoiler:fusing with Fyodor he emits a light so bright that it can be seen throughout the entirety of the Warp, outside the Eye of Terror, and the ''entire fucking galaxy''.]]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He can't help but chuckle when he realizes the Dark Eldar have left a "Welcome to Commorragh" sign where the only way to see it would be entry through the Gate of Khaine.
* BigDamnHeroes: If it weren't for him, Fyodor, Russ and what's left of The Inquisition would have perished by Skarbrand's big daemon axe.
* BigGood: He's The Emperor with a dose of self-awareness and humility, so he qualifies even more than his thronebound counterpart.
* FusionDance: After taking over Fyodor, the end result is basically Fyodor with the Emperor's hair, hair color and love for the color gold.
* PowerGlows: His resurrection into Fyodor's body creates a psyker-based light so bright it not only utterly destroys the daemon army nearby, but it glows throughout the entire Warp and even out into the material world so far it can be seen outside the galaxy!
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgVuQ_Fbs5g Chairbound Prankster]] which plays when he and Fyodor become one.
* LightIsGood: Due to being a fragment of the Emperor himself, and supposedly his compassion, he definitely fits both light and good.
* NiceGuy: Considering he's the embodiment of the Emperor's Compasssion, he's really pleasant.
* SelfDeprecation: Fully admits that all of Fyodor's faults (self-important, angry, hypocritical, throne-bound) can just as easily be applied to himself as part of the Emperor.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: In a way, you can clearly tell that he's a fragment of the Emperor considering he has the same fabulous hair as he does.

[[folder: Karamazov]]
!!Fyodor Karamazov, Lord Inquisitor of The Ordo Hereticus
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ithatts4.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:280:Here seen wondering why he's keeping Dominique around.]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheDakkanator StellarElite]]
A man so regal he takes his throne everywhere he goes, Karamazov is one of the most influential Inquisitors out there. He's also a self-righteous madman with the policy of "kill first-ask questions later", so when a missive to disband the Inquisition comes from the Imperial Palace, he rushes to Terra to burn the hives down in search of an answer.
----
* AntiClimaxBoss: Against Magnus, his charge into the Imperial Palace isn't much. Magnus even comments on it.[[invoked]]
* ArcVillain: The main villain of season 1 and most of season 2.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Apparently got the position by being the biggest and baddest Inquisitor to survive long enough.
* TheAtoner: In a self-deluded idiot sort of way. He still believes that he is the Emperor but upon meeting Leman Russ, he actually seems to regret how his supposed past incarnation treated his children and genuinely wants to make amends.
* AxCrazy: He can murder entire planets out of his own misplaced ego.
* BloodKnight: He may claim that he's doing it all for Imperium's good, but he seems to simply love the carnage.
* BrokenPedestal: Happens to him constantly, from his idol in the Inquisition to his first meeting with Kaldor Draigo.
* CatchPhrase: ''HERESY!''
* CoolChair: His throne, which can move on its own (in fact, he never leaves it), has two built-in lackeys and an impressive array of weapons to boot. It even has a build-in rocket!
* EvilLaugh: When he breaks into the Imperial Palace, his laughter is rather insane.
* ExactWords: Uses this to get out of a promise he gave Decius; instead of "shedding blood" on Holy Terra, he'll just burn everyone.
* {{Foil}}: To Decius. While the Ecclesiarch is the OnlySaneMan, job-oriented and filled with UndyingLoyalty to the Emperor even when his job is invalidated, Karamazov is insane and decides that the best course of action is to charge into the Imperial Palace and execute everyone as heretics, because this ''couldn't be right!''
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:With the Star Child.]]
* GrandTheftMe: In Episode 26, [[spoiler: a shard of the Emperor takes over his body, as Karamazov has so thoroughly come to believe he is the Emperor that the Warp made it true.]]
* IRejectYourReality: In Karamazov's world, everyone but him and his closest associates is a heretic or a potential heretic, the Emperor approves of Inquisition's actions and Karamazov is a shard of Emperor's soul. Suffice to say, it's not exactly everyone else's reality. In Season 3, his beliefs that he is a part of the Emperor reborn is so intense that [[spoiler: in the Warp, it eventually becomes true, or at least true enough that a shard of the Emperor is able to seize control of his body]].
* HolierThanThou: He believes himself to be the most righteous person in the Imperium, even when members of the Imperial Palace's staff disagree with his views.
* KnightTemplar: He believes unflinchingly that his cause is right one, that he knows who the heretics are and what to do with them.
* KnightOfCerebus: With his arrival on stage, the series moves from "wacky one-room-two-guys comedy" to "comedic story about fixing the Imperium".
* LargeHam: Oh yes, he is. He gives {{Rousing Speech}}es all the time, blows everything out of proportion and has nothing against monologuing.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs. After meeting Leman Russ in the Warp and seeing his...obsession with wolves firsthand, Kazamazov takes a moment to berate and wonder to himself what kind of father had he been to him...still believing he's a reincarnation of the Emperor.
* {{Narcissist}}: Other than heresy, his favorite subject is himself. For instance, when the Emperor fawns over him at length to lower his guard, Karamazov mentions telling himself the same things while admiring himself in the mirror.
* NotSoDifferent: To the Emperor. Both are throne-bound, angry, ego-maniacal hypocrites. [[spoiler:The Starchild notes that he will feel right at home inside Karamazov]].
* RousingSpeech: He ''loves'' giving those, to the extent that he gives three of them as the Inquisition makes its way through the Imperial Palace.
* SanitySlippage: The events of [[https://youtu.be/UHNJUgat2i8 Warp Hijinx]] leave him and the rest of his forces considerably more crazed then before, though it could also be because they're drunk off their asses from Leman Russ' improvised Fenrisian Ale--which is strongly suggested in later scenes where Fyodor is relatively sober.
* SarcasmBlind: He's completely oblivious to sarcasm, a quality which the Emperor exploits with gusto.
* TautologicalTemplar: Charging the Eternity Gate is a heresy... but not when him and his people do it.
* TheInquisition: Leads the most reactionary part of the "burn the heretic!" organization. The Emperor is pissed that Malcador's legacy is represented by this guy.
* TriggerHappy: He's more than happy to burn entire planets if he as much as suspects one person there to be a heretic.
* UnwittingPawn: The Emperor fully wants him to assemble the most knight-templar-ish and problematic members of the Inquisition and charge into the Eternity Gate so that Magnus can get rid of all of them at once. And then it's revealed Emps told him all that nonsense about him secretly being a shard of the Emperor's soul so that when in the warp, [[spoiler: his sheer insistence on it makes it true enough for him to act as a host body for the Star Child.]]
* VillainExitStageLeft: When attacking the Palace for the first time, he ends up at Kitten's mercy and is a second from being shot to pieces when the Emperor orders to have him spared. He promptly uses the opportunity to hightail it out of there.
* VillainousBreakdown: When he's sent to the Warp, he starts screaming and blabbering, sliding into incoherence and losing touch with reality even more than before. He snaps out of it by the start of Season 3 though.
* VillainousValour: If there's one thing you can say in Karamazov's favor [[spoiler: even before he gets possessed by the Star Child]] it's this: he is no coward. True, most of his courage stems from being so ridiculously self-assured that it borders on SuicidalOverconfidence or flat out loss of touch with reality. But that didn't stop him from besieging the Imperial Palace, charging a Daemon Primarch, talking back to Leman Russ while he was angry, and refusing to quit believing the Emperor even when a daemon was inches away from cleaving his skull open with an axe. Even getting trapped in the ''warp'' was viewed as nothing more than a minor setback by him.
* WeWillMeetAgain: Promises this to Kitten when he escapes for the first time, and makes good on that promise a season later.

[[caption-width-right:280:He gets that a lot.]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/FrankyPlaysGames Franky]]
Not your perfect Inquisitorial lackey. Dominique mans one of the arms of Karamazov's throne and while his official job is somewhat unclear (it should be to mindlessly write down everything that Karamazov says), the unofficial seems to be whining and annoying the hell out of his boss, who despite this resorts to grumbling rather than firing him (or firing ''at'' him) on the spot.[[spoiler: It is later learned the his annoying and obnoxious tendencies are actually for a purpose...]]
----
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Karamazov seemed a bit pleased with his passing. Less so about the fact that the rotting remains seems to have been affected by The Warp.
* BiTheWay: He says that his voice is a hit with the ladies, but he also admits that he finds a horde of shirtless Adeptus Custodes to be "sexually confusing" and that they're "making me '''moist.'''"
* BodyHorror: ''Something'' makes his rotten corpse play an eerie tune while snapping and twisting his neck repeatedly to mimic a music box. It's enough to make Fyodor ''instantly'' sober.
* CharacterDeath: He died at some point in Leman Russ's drunk party.
* CluelessDeputy: He accompanies Karamazov everywhere, but seems more bothered by his cigarettes and own (perceived) awesomeness to aid him in any meaningful way.
* DeadpanSnarker: One could suppose it's his defense tactic against Karamazov's shrieking insanity, but he's really snarky at times.
* DueToTheDead: After he dies from overdosing on daemon-derived Fenrisian Ale, Karamazov keeps his rotting corpse on his throne. Later on, [[spoiler:when the Star Child takes over Karamzov's body, Dominique's body disappears as he is taken to the afterlife by Celestine, and his place on the throne is replaced by white coffin covered in golden chains with a golden aquila.]]
* EvilSoundsRaspy: He claims his cigarettes give him a raspy voice that's really popular with ladies. In reality, it's more like squeaking.
* ExorcistHead: His corpse did this repeatedly, complete with the sounds of cracking bone and tearing flesh.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:Hey! Hey, Fyodor! Have a happy new year, pal...]]
* FemmeFatalons: Rare masculine version, he has long talons as nails. He also claims to be quite a womanizer.
* {{Flanderization}}: Inverted. He starts off as a caricature and gets more depth as episodes go on. [[spoiler:This was intentional, as Dominique was intended by the Emperor to help push Karamazov deeper and deeper into insanity so when he ended up in the Warp, he would believe the lie that he was part of the Emperor so hard that a part of the Emperor could manifest and take over his body.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: Dominique takes his death rather well.
-->"Nah. It's all good. I've enjoyed myself. If I knew I'd trip this hard drinking Daemon innards I would've died a long time ago!"
* ItsAllAboutMe: When Karamazov is planning his first invasion of Imperial Palace, Dominique is more concerned with his own discomfort.
* KilledOffScreen: Is found to be dead after Leman Russ pounds Karamazov's face in, possibly caused by alcohol poisoning.
* MustHaveNicotine: Throughout the first attack, he continues asking people for sandpaper cigarettes, and they pop up from time to time later as well.
* NumberTwo: Assistant to Karamazov, to the Inquisitor's woe.
* OnlySaneMan: As time goes on, he turns into this, seemingly being the only member of Karamazov's clique to recognize the insanity of what's going on around him. Then again, he has his own insane moments. [[spoiler:He was, in face, the only sane man because he was conspiring with one of the Emperor's pieces to help drive Karamazov deeper into insanity so the Emperor could take over his body when he ended up in the Warp.]]
* PhraseCatcher: "Be quiet, Dominique!" is something he hears often.
* ServileSnarker: As Karamazov's composure deteriorates, Dominique starts to snark at him more and more often.
* TerribleArtist: Going by his pictures of made-up Ordos he presents to cheer Karamazov up, he has skill of a mediocre MS Paint artist.

A collection of highly religious and incredibly powerful orders who were tasked with rooting out threats caused by aliens, heretics and daemons within The Imperium. Unfortunatley, they have a tendency to cause far more harm than good as a result of their rampant paranoia and fanaticism to dogma, leading to The Emperor eventually having Magnus send the vast majority of them into The Warp along their then appointed representative, Fyodor Karamazov.
----
* CripplingOverspecialization: The Ordo Xenos (or at least Adrielle specifically) are obsessive about fighting genestealers, to the point where their leader doesn't even seem to know what a daemon is.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though Adrielle's constant obsession with genestealers is mostly played for laughs, this pure hatred she has towards them has made her strong enough to singlehandedly take on entire genestealer cults on her own and win without a scratch. [[spoiler: Sadly for her, Skarbrand was far worse than any Genestealer Cult.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:After Elirush and Adrielle meet their fate, Donklas proceeds to mourn them as his friends before praying to not meet the same fate.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Donklas:''' All my friends are dead... I don't want to die in this horrible magical hell...]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They feel no remorse at killing anyone suspected of heresy, and will subject planets to Exterminatus for petty reasons, but they exiled Kryptmann for being too cruel. Rogal points this out when the Emperor makes the mistake of thinking him more rational and less kill-happy.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Despite having doomed at least a few planets through Exterminatus for the most minor offenses, such as ''a single'' oppressed citizen screaming about joining Chaos or ''his own freaking allies doing the killing'', Inquisitor Facesmash avoided getting sent into The Warp like most of his fellow Inquisitors, because he didn't join up with Karamozov. Then in Episode 26: Part 2, he winds up getting pulled into Commorragh due to [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Exterminatusing a sun, seemingly as a form of Retirement/Suicide only for Draigo to hop onto his ship and eat said sun.]]
* HoldTheLine: In Episode 26, they fend off a massive daemon army [[spoiler: that is trying to destroy their psyker force, who are trying to open the Gate of Khaine]]. Unfortunately for them, [[spoiler: their army is substantially smaller and they get massacred once the daemons get into melee. Elirush and Adrielle are {{killed off for real}} in this battle.]]
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Inquisitor Facesmash reacts to Leman Russ ''vaporizing'' a Dark Eldar with RapidFireFisticuffs with almost schoolgirl-like glee.
--->'''Facesmash:''' (pitch slowly rising) Have I died and gone to murder-heaven?
* LampshadeHanging: Donklas in the Warp Hijinks special while drunk lampshades where he got his mask considering the last time he was seen he didn't wear any.
* MauveShirt: Though most of them are tough enough to survive for a while in the Warp, particularly when they drink Leman Russ' Fenrisian Ale, in Episode 26 [[spoiler:both Adrielle and Grand Master Elirush are slain in battle by Skarbrand. Donklas only survives by "enforcing discipline in the back" and grabbing the Sister of Battle Canoness as the Sisters get slaughtered.]]
* NoNameGiven: Adrielle wasn't named until Alfa learned she actually ''has'' one in 40k proper. Grand Master Elirush and Ordo Hereticus Agent Donklas' names are only known because Episode 26 Part 1 is a general recreation of an actual tabletop battle and the results of key moments of the game are displayed on screen as the action unfolds.
* OnlySaneMan: You will have a hard time finding anyone in the Inquisition as sane or reasonable as Coteaz.
** Ironically, the most sane among them is ''Kryptmann''.
-->'''Kryptmann''': My opinion '''IS''': straight-laced, self-strangulating sheeplings slapping "heresy" on anything even halfway logical is what brought us into this mess in the first place. Maybe taking two seconds to consider options that aren't "purge this," "cleanse that," and "BURN BURN BURN!" might prove beneficial even if you don't wind up doing it.
** Later on, [[OmnicidalManiac Headsmash]] is also the voice of reason after [[spoiler: Emperor!Fyodor uses his psychic powers to convince the Inquisition to work with the Dark Eldar]].
-->'''Headsmash''': So, like.. am I actually going to have to be the straight man here in pointing out how bad this idea is? It feels... ''gross''.
* PragmaticVillainy: Kryptman seems to be a big believer in this. He is by any estimation a terrible person, but he seems less interested in committing atrocities for fun than because he genuinely thinks they're legitimate means to an end. That said, he's managed to kill exponentially more innocent people than have the Inquisitors who ''do'' murder for fun, with the exception of Headsmash.[[note]]That 'greatest genocide in the history of the Imperium' he's mentioned committing was an attempt to starve a Tyranid Hive Fleet to death by ordering the Exterminatus of a dozen worlds in its path, thus denying it biomass. Didn't work.[[/note]]
* RunOrDie: [[spoiler: Donklas only lives because he knows better than to fight the daemons directly in melee.]]
-->'''Donklas''' (dragging the Canoness): Now is not the time for lying about. Now is the time for running the fuck away!
* SexIsViolence: Ordo Hereticus Agent Donklas finds it rather arousing to kill potential heretics.
* StateSec: Their role before The Emperor disbanded them is to find and execute (possible) enemies to the state. Or, in their words, "PURGE THE HERETICS!"
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:An older Kryptman from the Behemoth Shorts returns in Episode 26: Part 2]]
* UngratefulBastard [[spoiler: The Star-Child infused Fyodor, essentially the Emperor himself, saves what remains of the Inquisition from being killed by the Chaos army as well as saving them from a Dark Eldar trap and healing those caught in said trap. Yet despite all this, the moment he merely suggests they should just hear what the Dark Eldar are saying because they are acting really atypical for their race? They ''immediately'' start calling him a heretic.]]

The Imperium's greatest Space Marines, capable of succeeding in any mission, no matter how dangerous, suicidal, and outright sabotaged by their own side it is.
----
* AchillesInHisTent: Calgar spends the first two seasons of the show moping on Ultramar about what his Space Marines have become. This in turn allows Cato Sicarius to go over his head to accept assignments from Terra without having to run them by him first, which eventually sickens Maneius enough that he decides to lead the charge in the third season's newest mission for his chapter.
* AtomicFBomb: Marneius Calgar let one off when being told that the Ultramarines had collected all of the Salamanders' artifacts.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Calgar and Ventris end up getting on a tangent where they talk about random things for literally ''months'' on end because Ventris randomly brought up his armor's green trim and the two got sidetracked.
* BerserkButton:
** When Cato Sicarius suggests that any Ultramarine casualties are meaningless [[GloryHound if it means furthering his reputation and glory]], Calgar snaps and threatens to shove his power fist up Sicarius' ass. When Sicarius high-tails it out of the room he grumbles in frustration that one of these days that he needs to stop threatening to do so and ACTUALLY do it. Come episode 21, he really does punch Sicarius in the face when the latter is ranting how he was able to defeat a [[PhysicalGod C'tan]].
** Uriel Ventris is ''decidedly'' miffed about his MyGreatestFailure moment (releasing the C'tan Nightbringer) being inexplicably and casually rendered insignificant (the Nightbringer was actually just a shard. An ''itsy bitsy little Shard'').
** Cato Sicarius also has one in the form of being interrupted during his narcissistic squealing.
--->'''*In a lower, indignant, snarled voice*''' ''"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT THE FEEDBACK SESSION OF I, CATO SICARIUS!?"''
* BeyondTheImpossible: The Emperor deliberately gives them {{Impossible Task}}s and yet they keep succeeding.
** How about riding into galaxy's biggest daemon hotspot with your anti-daemon fields off, in a single ship, to find and capture (''alive'') the second most powerful psyker in existence and come back alive? More, even, with minimal casualties? Why not?
** Not enough? Just go on to casually find all of the remaining Artifacts of Vulkan in under a year and deliver them directly to Nocturne. The Salamanders have been searching for the better part of 10,000 years.
** This is [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in episode 21 by Calgar and Ventris, with the latter pointing out that the changes in history all have this theme, caused by a certain force, which Calgar tries to dismiss defensively.
* BoringInvincibleHero: Their Chapter Master certainly thinks so, to the extent that he gets a depression from this.
-->'''Marneus Calgar''': ''*Sobbing*'' Holy Emperor...This is shameful...Nothing is satisfying anymore...
* BunnyEarsLawyer: They're annoying. They're invincible to the point some feel bored. They're as [[invoked]] MarySue as it goes. But ''by the Emperor'' are they effective.
* CoolMask: Their armour, based on Heresy-era [[http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Invictarus_Suzerain Invictarii]], has a really cool wing design on its mask.
* DarkSecret: Ventris has begun to suspect that some higher power influences events to always make the Ultramarines succeed against all odds and retconning their defeats to lessen or ignore them. It seems Calgar himself knows more about this than he is willing to say... [[spoiler:The second part of ''Behemoth'' makes it clear that whatever happened took place shortly after Calgar's disastrous confrontation with the Swarmlord in Macragge.]]
* DemotedToExtra: By order of Calgar, Illiyan is not to receive any screentime at all and must be as irrelevant as possible.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Whether it is out of fear of their lethality and/or of how annoying they can be, both the forces of the Imperium and those of Chaos consider being banished to Ultramar as one of these as it is the penalty of high-stakes "Ultragames."
* {{Flanderization}}: Their portrayal here is based on 5th Edition Space Marines 'dex which is often accused of making them Sue-ish, overblowing the Chapter's previous vanilla portrayal and being just flat-out unrealistic. Here, they truly are as invincible, goody-two-shoes and Codex-Astartes-worshipping as the 5th-Ed's deriders would have you believe... and [[NervousWreck it's driving their Chapter Master crazy]].
** This also seems to have happened in-universe, with the Ultramarines shown in ''Behemoth'' being as diverse, flawed, and [[RuleOfFunny eccentric]] as any other Chapter/group shown in the series with a wide range of different characters shown and no sign of the absurdly perfect and unstoppable [[MarySue Mary Sues]] they would become. After being slaughtered by the Tyranids almost all these unique characters would disappear save Calgar and Ventris, replaced by faceless and identical ParodySue Ultramarines and [[SmugSnake Cato Sicarius]].
* GloryHound: Sicarius believes that it doesn't matter how many are sacrificed if it advances his personal glory. [[PapaWolf Calgar almost punches his head off for this]].
* ImpossibleTask: The feats they accomplished were deliberately designed by The Emperor with two goals in mind:
** 1: to be impossible so that they would fail for once and stop acting insufferably smug.
** 2: To abuse the hell out of their PlotArmor in the event that [[XanatosGambit they actually succeed]].
* InUniverseNickname:
** They repeatedly get called "Smurfs" by the Emperor, despite no-one getting the reference.
** Calgar and Ventris refer to Cato Sicarius as [[CountryMatters Cunto]] Shitarius when it's just the two of them.
* IncomingHam: '''I, Cato Sicarius of the GLORIOUS and Famed 2nd Company''' shall bring the ham wherever it is needed!
* LargeHam: They have a truly grandiose way of speaking WITH COURARGE AND HONOR!
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx61xeDV_60 The Ultramarines Chant]]. Their constant chanting is partly why the Emperor hates them so much.
* LightningBruiser: As a parody of ''Dawn of War III'''s incident with Terminator Armor, Calgar is an utterly silly version of these, what with punches that can one-shot titans and being able to somersault so damn far ''due'' to the Terminator armor he doesn't need jump packs to be fast.
* MarriedToTheJob: Their reward for capturing Magnus is some purity seals and materials to prepare for their next mission. They're more than happy about it.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Calgar certainly seems to think so. Whatever DealWithTheDevil he struck made his chapter borderline unstoppable and successful at everything they do, but you can only effortlessly succeed so many times until all those victories start to ring hollow and meaningless. It's part of the reason Calgar's so goddamn exhausted all the time.
* OnlySaneMan: Calgar and Ventris seem to fulfill this role. Ventris seems well-adjusted to Chapter's insanity, but Calgar seems to have been spiraling into a deep depression for awhile.
* ParodySue: The Emperor realizes that they win all the time and succeed at anything, regardless of how against sanity and common sense victory would be. He admits he only puts up with this ridiculousness because they're useful.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Ventris seems to be the only one besides Calgar that notices that their chapter history appears to be changing. Granted, he's the only one besides Calgar left who has a unique identity and isn't [[GloryHound Cato]] [[SmugSnake Sicarius]]
* SarcasmBlind: When Calgar is furiously mocking their perfection and belief in Codex Astartes, the Ultramarine he's talking to takes it at face value. They also fail to note malicious undertones to their order to switch their Gellar field off.
* SendInTheClones: Apart from Calgar, Sicarius, Ventris and a lone Devastator, they all look and act the same - at first resembling the First Company, and, later,the Honour Guard.
** Averted in the Behemoth prequel where each Ultramarine shown is a unique model/art depiction with his own personality before the eponymous Tyranid invasion. After the near extermination of the chapter and still unknown DealWithTheDevil Calgar made to save it, nearly all these unique marines are gone and replaced by the aforementioned clones.
*** While there were still some using the Honour Guard model before and during the invasion, they stilled showed a different, more intelligent personality than the later clones, including pointing out when their chapter master was doing something stupid.
* ThereWasADoor:
** Cato Sicarius is seemingly addicted to bursting through walls, ceilings, and [[UpToEleven seemingly floors]] like a power-armored Kool-Aid Man, having yet to enter any room in any other fashion.
** At one point, an Ultramarine Land Raider is driven through a wall.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Cato Sicarius ''obsessively'' refers to himself when speaking.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Marneus once threw a copy of the Codex at an Eldar so hard its spine was bent into a semicircle.
* VerbalTic: The normal Ultramarines keeps referring to each other as "Honorable Battlebrother". In the closed captions all of their actions are always prefixed with "Ultra", such as Ultra-Crying, Ultra-Fuckin'-Crying, Ultra-sigh, Ultra-Laughing, Ultra-Groaning etc.
* VocalDissonance: Cato Sicarius has a distinctly high voice that nobody else has and completely clashes with his prestigious Captain armor.
* WithCatlikeTread: Drop off Vulkan's {{Mac Guffin}}s by driving a land raider through the wall of the Salamanders' fortress-monestary while loudly chanting. Nobody notices this. The Salamander sentries even comment that it's a "quiet day", bare seconds afterwards.

!!The Dark Angels, The most Loyal and Honest Chapter with no Heretical Secrets to hide at all!
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/they_are_the_best.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:280:The most loyal servants the Imperium could hope for![[labelnote:From left to right]][[OnlySaneMan Belial]], [[NervousWreck Azrael]] and [[AxCrazy Asmodai]][[/labelnote]] ]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://soundcloud.com/callmegemineye Gemineye]] (Azrael), Alfabusa (Azmodai and Snurko), [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkPp-2MJ0LgHuBrCfZ2JJxQ Fusion]] (Belial)
A chapter led by Azrael, Asmodai, and Belial, a trio of paranoid wrecks obsessed with finding Cypher and the rest of The Fallen while trying to keep it all a secret from the rest of the Imperium.
----
* AxCrazy: Azrael and Asmodai. Azrael is so wracked with paranoia that he orders two Dark Angels executed for hearing information that they were ''allowed'' to know. As for Asmodai...
--> '''Belial''': You know he hears "make them repent." as "murder them violently."
--> '''Azrael''': Yes, Asmodai is a fucking asshood who can't make anyone repent...
--> '''Asmodai''': ''DID SOMEONE SAY "Murder anyone violently?!?"''
* BadassPreacher: Asmodai, whose main method of making people repent is to bash them over the head with his giant crozius.
--> ''REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!!''
* DramaQueen: It doesn't take much to turn Belial into a crying wreck. Even making a snarky comment at him will cause him to tear up. And yet he's the OnlySaneMan.
* HairTriggerTemper: As Snurko found out the hard way, Azrael truly has "The Emperor's Temper".
* HangingJudge: It's pretty clear from a stream announcement that he Asmodai cares less about making people repent and more concerned with bashing heads in.
--> ''JUST KIDDING! YOU CAN NEVER REPENT! HAHA! I'M SENDING YOU ON A FUCKING PENANCE-CRUSADE!!''
* HypocriticalHumor: Azrael calls the Adeptus Mechanics out for having hidden agendas and secret circles and ominous hoods...
* InsaneTrollLogic: ''Anything'' is, in their eyes, a sign of someone working for The Fallen. Even the Adeptus Mechanicus simply reaching a planet before they do is enough for them to jump to such extreme conclusions.
* ModernMajorGeneral: Technically, Asmodai's job as Interrogator-Chaplain is to make the traitorous angels repent during interrogations. And while he's an extremely experienced combatant and a decent enough commander, enough to be one of the Chapter's heads, he ''sucks'' at his actual job because [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique his interrogations are so intense no one ever survives them long enough to actually repent]], and that's [[AxCrazy if they even make it alive to the torture chamber to begin with]].
* NervousWreck: Azrael. The man sounds like he's constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
* OnlySaneMan: For a given value of sane given it's [[TheParanoiac the Dark Angels]], but Belial is the least likely of the three leaders to jump straight to murder and actively tries to find peaceful ways to settle disputes. He's the only reason the meeting between the Mechanicus and the Chapter doesn't devolve into outright bloodshed.
* TheParanoiac: They are all constantly on the verge of lunacy due to their paranoia, but Azrael is moreso than anyone in the entire chapter, to the point he had two Dark Angels murdered for hearing about the Fallen despite the fact they had ''just'' been inducted into the Inner Circle and thus were ready to know about them.
* RightUnderTheirNoses: Azrael, Belial and Asmodai somehow do not recognize Cypher when he is standing right next to them. It's impossible to tell if they're confusing him for a loyalist Dark Angel or not, but knowing this series...
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Snurko, Azrael's Watcher in The Dark, which can only be described as something ripped out of an 80s cartoon. Made even worse by the fact that it is the only Watcher that actually talks.

!!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.
----
* 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!''
* 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, 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").
* 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.
* 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.
* 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' 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' 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 as a result.
** 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.

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.
* Main/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 Primarch "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.

-> '''Voiced by:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLK1nScx--ozSsgcBDhwBQ Zoran The Bear]]
Another of the 20 primarchs, and the Emperor's self-appointed Executioner. Prophesized to return during the End Times to fight again alongside the fellow defenders of the Imperium.
----
* ARealManIsAKiller: Proudly boasts to a Deathwatch soldier he has 300 ''million'' confirmed kills. These are just the CONFIRMED kills, ones in which there were either witnesses or a body left behind to confirm the kill. When you consider that Leman has been in the Warp for a long time and the very concept of surviving in the Warp mandates the ability to slaughter Daemons on a massive scale, it is VERY likely that his ''actual'' number of kills is ''immeasurably'' higher (though given that what he was saying was a parody of the Navy SEALS copypasta, he may just be making stuff up).
* TheAlcoholic: He's so dedicated to his drink he attempted to recreate Fenrisian Ale with a mix of Bylestim [[note]]a combat drug made from, among other things, Warpblood from a Lesser Daemon and powdered Wraithbone[[/note]] and the distilled liver-juices of a Bloodthirster into a [[GargleBlaster drink so potent]] it [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure generated an aura of menace.]]
* ArchEnemy: Seems to consider Magnus the Red this, a sentiment the former Chaos Primarch wholly reciprocates. Simply the mention of him being in the throne room with the Emperor was enough to send Russ into TranquilFury, ignore his previous anger against Karamazov, and decide to finally leave the Warp.
* BadassBaritone: The Primarch of the Space Wolves has a fittingly deep and commanding voice courtesy of his actor Zoran The Bear.
* BadassBoast: He does a Space Marine variation on the infamous Navy SEAL copypasta. [[NotHyperbole amusingly enough, it's not exactly inaccurate in his case]].
* BerserkButton: ''Really'' does not appreciate Fyodor openly claiming that he is the mortal embodiment of the emperor and calling him "son", though not nearly to the same degree as any mention of Magnus the Red, which is strong enough to make him completely ignore the former button being pressed.
* BestialityIsDepraved: Both Magnus and the Emperor are convinced he has a wolf fetish, with the former always referring to him as a "[[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry fuck]]". It's not really clear if that's true or they're both overhyping his...quirks, but he certainly does have a love of saying the word "wolf" or some variation thereof.
* BoisterousBruiser: Keeps going on about how he is a badass due to wolves while chugging warp-brewed liquor.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Presented as a fairly badass individual capable enough to handle the entire Inquisition single-handedly and live in the Warp without losing his sanity... And also absolutely obsessed with wolves, and alcohol.
* DeadpanSnarker: While the Emperor loves to fly into rage, Russ' disses are usually more subtle and delivered in more deadpan fashion.
* {{Determinator}}: The only way to survive in the Warp is to genuinely believe, whole-heartedly, that you can fight and win. Normal humans cannot, and even Inquisitors need to get boozed up on Russ' ale to survive. Leman Russ, however, is able to carry out his endless, centuries-long war in the Warp singlehandedly (with some help from Kaldor Draigo, though he doesn't really count) based on his pure willpower...and some ale never hurt either.
* DrunkenMaster: It's implied that he preserved his sanity through his long stay in the Warp by being drunk the whole time. It also helps him defeat the many daemons he encounters.
* {{Facepalm}}: [[spoiler: His entire reaction and feelings summed up when the Inquisition starts calling the Star-Child infused Fyodor, essentially the Emperor himself, a ''heretic''.]]
* ForeignCussWord: "I mean, for [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Helvete's]] sake, you look like you haven't fought or fucked anything for decades, you MILKSOP!"
* PersonalRaincloud: His surroundings in the Warp look like a small-scale Fenris reenaction.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Makes absurdly sexist comments towards the Sisters of Battle, most prominently the below-mentioned "Red Rage" joke. It's PlayedForLaughs.
* RaisedByWolves: He thinks it is a great idea for other people to be so as well because wolf raising made him wolfin' strong!
* RapidFireFisticuffs: [[spoiler: Leman wasn't kidding when he said he was a CQC expert, seeing as how with ''one punch'' he literally tore a Dark Eldar in half and then proceeded to utilize this trope on the upper half til it's red misty death.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Delivers one to Karamazov as soon as he encounters him. It's about how he's a pussy for sitting on his throne all the time instead of killing things personally and it completely breaks Karamazov.
** In the TTS Special Warp Hijinx, he gives one to EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF THE INQUISITION ORDERS on why they won't survive in the Warp.
*** The Ordos Xenos are gene-stealer obsessed nuts who don't even know what daemons are.
*** The Grey Knights are the inquisitorial equivalent of spoiled wealthy children (and the leading Grey Knight's accent is weird and full of waffles, probably because his voice actor is from Belgium).
*** The Ordos Hereticus is the inquisitorial equivalent of child molesters, who will likely kill more inquisitors than the daemons.
*** The Sisters of Battle will be "eaten out like ice cream sandwiches by daemons of Khorne when [their] red rage starts".
*** The Stormtroopers are so pathetic that they explode with little or no provocation.
*** The Deathwatch are pussies because they've only fought pussy enemies like the Tau ("who don't even fight in melee!"). And Calato (the Dark Angel who keeps firing back at Russ) specifically is a "nancy lion-lover BITCH".
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Does he look thousands of years old? Granted, time is funky in the Warp.
* RedBaron: Introduces himself as the Primarch of the Vlka Fenryka, the Wolf King of Fenris and the Emperor's Executioner.
* {{Smurfing}}: Sometimes, particularly when upset. "What the WOLF did you just say about me!?"
* TranquilFury: His reaction to Karamazov calling him son. Which leads into [[MegatonPunch a blow to the face so hard and loud it can be heard outside of the warp and in the Imperial Palace!]] But even that is nothing compared to any mention of Magnus the Red. His voice is low, but full of hatred, and the entire Warp surrounding them ''turns black'' when he's brought up.
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: He was preparing a massacre of Daemon villagers whose activities involved kissing their wives and working in the Nurgling mines.
* VerbalTic: Has a habit of inserting "wolf" or some variation of it into his sentences, particularly when he's shouting.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Gemineye
The leader and the mightiest warrior to ever grace the ranks of the Grey Knights, a masterful combatant and unmatched psyker who has defeated the forces of Chaos and even bested Daemon Primarchs countless times all on his own while remaining in the realm of madness and insanity that is The Warp. While his body has persisted for centuries, however, his mind clearly fell ages ago.
* ApocalypseMaiden: Apparently the [[spoiler:Deceiver]] thinks Kaldor Draigo entering the Materium will end the galaxy.
* BadassBeard: His beard is home to many tiny men that he requires help in killing.
* BadassInCharge: Leader of the best Daemonslayers in the Imperium.
* BadassPreacher: Comes with being part of an army of paladins but he doesn't do any preaching.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's hilariously insane, prone to random ridiculous outbursts and cartoonish actions. His combat prowess, however, is just as ridiculous; his battles last ''milliseconds'', and he wins before anyone can notice.
** As silly and ridiculous as he is, Kaldor Draigo is so incredibly powerful and dangerous that [[spoiler: the Deceiver himself]] is afraid of him and is moving to stop him from returning to the Materium.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He might be a complete loon, but he sure knows how to wreck Daemons and fallen Primarchs.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It doesn't matter how much of a badass you are. Spend enough time in the Warp and you ''will'' go nuts eventually! This has reached the point where Russ doesn't even consider him ''sentient'' anymore. [[UpToEleven Draigo agrees.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Defeats Magnus before Kitten can even finish a sentence, and later destroys [[spoiler:the Masque of Slaanesh]] with a single stab.
* DemonSlaying: He's so good at it that he knocks out the true form of Magnus the Red in a single punch in the blink of an eye.
* EpicFail: In Episode 26, due to the battle being modeled after a real game of Warhammer the creators played wherein Draigo fell prey to the ultimate enemy of any 40K soldier- [[RandomNumberGod repeatedly failing your rolls.]]
* GoKartingWithBowser: While he may be the greatest daemon-slayer in the whole of the galaxy or Warp, he's still a swell enough guy that Lucius and Ahriman invited him as a guest for their Slaaneshmas show. He's also strongly implied by the Masque to be [[spoiler:the Silver Knight of Slaanesh, as the Masque speaks to him in a friendly manner and then calls him a traitor when he suddenly stabs her in the face.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: Like most of the Grey Knights he carries a Nemesis Force Sword, although considering his insanity he rarely ever uses it normally.
* LargeHam: Even when he is whispering his presence is huge.
-->'''Draigo''': ORDO DRAIGO PRESENT! [[LampshadeHanging WE WILL PROVIDE THE HAMS!]]
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Carries around a shield that looks like the Inquisition's logo, although he actually never uses it.
* OldMaster: At least a few centuries old and still slaughtering daemons.
* ParodySue: A deconstruction of Drago, who has been decried by most of the fandom as a CanonSue for being able to not only survive in the [[EldritchLocation Warp]], but also fight Chaos on its own turf, single-handedly, and actually score victories. In ''TTS'', due to the Warp's YourMindMakesItReal properties, it ''is'' possible to survive in the Warp if you have enough unshakable confidence in yourself - but the only way to attain it is to either be piss-drunk (like Leman Russ) or be stark raving mad. This results in a Draigo who is [[GodModeSue every bit as powerful as he is in canon alright]], but he's less the flawless paragon of righteousness Matt Ward portrayed him as and more of a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Erasing an entire star from existence has to qualify, and the Deceiver is entirely convinced he is one so powerful and unstable the galaxy may not survive his return to the material world]].
* SelfDuplication: Claims to be a member of the "Ordo Draigo", which consists entirely of warpspawned clones of himself.
* ShoutOut: He's a giant walking shout-out to [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/598617 "Trials of Draigo" by FlashGitz]].
* SuddenlyShouting: Don't expect his insanity to allow him to speak in a quiet manner for too long.
* SummoningRitual: If you require his services, you will need a Dreadknight, a kettle of Sororitas blood, and the book of Magnus, while reading a backwards chant that praises the Grey Knights.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite the fact that he's lost his grip on reality (or reality's lost his grip on him. Probably both) and his propensity for surreal visual gags, Russ seems unable to notice or acknowledge him. In episode 24, he's conversing relatively normally, suggesting that Russ is used to Kaldor's eccentricities.
* WeirdSun: He claims to be a warp star, and can shine like one to prove it. This apparently counts as a "sunrise" in the Warp. He also [[spoiler:literally survives being inside a sun on sheer willpower]].
* YourMindMakesItReal: A feature of the Warp but combined with Draigo's insanity, this has created some...interesting results.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA''']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' [[https://youtu.be/RtAH7kGEqic?t=1m5s Screaming Blood Raven Sergeant from the Dawn of War intro cinematic]]
A man renowned for his might in combat and his famous warcry, Sly Marbo travels from planet to planet by foot to kick heretical and xeno ass wherever he is needed the most.
----
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: And freaking ''fly'' through it as well!
* BattleCry: His only form of communication is shouting.
* BigDamnHeroes: A few times, such as when he fended off a Dark Eldar looting session [[spoiler: and saving Corvus from a extremely toxic Barking Toad.]]
* BloodKnight: He accepts an ''invitation'' to the Slaaneshmas Special, apparently for the opportunity to go 1 v. 3 against the Chaos Champions (sans Kharn).
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After three Dark Eldar melee combatants attack him only to bounce off, it looks like he beats the crap out of them using his own subtitles.
* ComicallyInvincibleHero: By all accounts there's nothing in 40k that can stop him, such that he travels through space unshielded to whatever world needs him. The only opponents to even survive an encounter with him are Lucius, Ahriman, and Typhus together. This is all played for laughs.
* FaceHeelTurn: In the non-canonical April Fool's Day video, he's the last of Fucking Horus's allies that show up to overthrow the recently-resurrected Emperor.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: He has these, but they don't give any advice other than '''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'''
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Even though he carries a gun and a knife, he ignores them in favor of his feet and fists.
* HumbleHero: Although it's hard to determine a man's characterization when all he says is '''AAAAAAAAAAAAA''', the first thing he does after [[spoiler: rescuing Corvus Corax from a Greater Catachan Barking Toad is to ''bow'' to the Primarch.]]
* MakeMeWannaShout: The man's shout is so Mighty that it can rip apart metal.
* MemeticBadass: His characterization is largely based on a running joke in the fandom that casts him in the same light as Chuck Norris. As such, anything he does can be written off as him simply being Sly ''Fucking'' Marbo. Humorously, he carries this reputation among the Jungle Fighters InUniverse as well.
* NiceGuy: Strangely, both Ahriman and Lucius think he's a pretty great guy, despite him handing them and Typhus a CurbStompBattle when he went on the Slaaneshmas broadcast after receiving an invitation. Unless, of course, the two of them are talking about Kharn (who is ''the'' memetic nice guy of the Warhammer 40K universe) instead.
* NoIndoorVoice: His sole method of communication is an incoherent scream.
* NotQuiteFlight: He can simulate flying via his aerodynamic musculature and knowledge of jungle tree buoyancy... on Catachan. Everywhere else he's soaring around like it's nothing, even in space!
* OneManArmy: The man liberated an entire planet from the Dark Eldar all by himself.
* ParodySue: Even more so than The Ultramarines themselves as he is just a nondescript soldier who bulldozes everything for laughs.

* AmazonianBeauty: Fairly attractive, but even by the standards of [[AmazonBrigade the Sisters of Battle]], she's quite terrifying.
* BadassCape: Wears one big enough to cover her ShouldersOfDoom, as is appropriate for a Sister Superior.
* {{BFS}}: Is seen clasping a two-handed sword in her gauntlets.
* BigEater: At least by Eldar standards. She complains that the food she's given by the Eldar isn't sufficient for someone like her, a human at '''[[SuddenlyShouting PEAK PERFORMANCE]]'''.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Is able to make demands to Ceogorath without any consequences or hint of fear. Bear in mind that Ceogorath just put the fear of god into [[BadassArmy the Custodes.]]
** Specifically, she threatens to ''start a BookBurning'' in ''[[MagicalLibrary the Black Library]], '''to the face of [[MadGod the Laughing God.]]''''' For a similar offense, Ceogorath decides to obliterate a Chaos Space Marine chapter, but he refuses to say anything against Stern.
* FacialMarkings: Has a cross-shaped mark on her left cheek.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: At least she seems to think so. She's genuinely pleased to see the two Custodians appear in the Black Library, as she mistakes them for Eldar "on the path of the swole."
* MysticalWhiteHair: Is white-haired and there is clearly something to her that she can stand up to Ceogorath.
* PerpetualFrowner: Even accounting for the limits of the series, the Thrice-Born would be hard-pressed to do anything but scowl.
* TheStoic: Never raises her voice beyond a stern growl.

-->'''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.
----
* 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.
* 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 is 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]].
* TheDreaded: As a Primarch, Corvus is so powerful that the Masque of Slaanesh, a powerful daemon, opts to flee on-sight 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 Dropsite Massacre and 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.)
* ForgotICouldFly: Tells Magnus he's gonna kill him...once he remembers how to move his legs. [[RealityEnsues Superhuman or not, several millennia in a tight box unable to move plays havoc on one's motor functions]].
* 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 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' 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 do phase through things, which makes it funny how he got stuck in the Engine of Woe.
* 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.]]
* 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.
* 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.''
* 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.
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: ''[[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.]]
* 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!]]
* KilledOffForReal: Potentially, assuming he's not just a hallucination. then 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 Hand's 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' legion, 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']] 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 a "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.
* {{Foil}}: To the Custodes. Both are [[WalkingShirtlessScene Walking Shirtless Scenes]], but the Custodes choose to undress for purely exhibitionist purposes while the Catachan guard wear as little as possible to make the most with scarce resources (and so that their superiors can sell propaganda of them). Both have TestosteronePoisoning, but the Catachan guard don't make a big deal out of it. The Custodes are heavily augmented and look down on regular humans while the Catachan guard are all normal humans whose strength stems purely from their TrainingFromHell. Both are badass armies, but the Custodes (apart from Kitten) [[BrilliantButLazy never train or fight unless ordered to by the Emperor]], while the Catachan guard spend all of their time either on the front lines or sharpening their skills on their home planet. The Catachan guard travel all over to fight for the Imperium while the Custodes never leave the Imperial palace unless forced to. Both have scenes where their innuendos creep someone out, but for the Catachan guards it's either [[InnocentInnuendo unintentional]] or very toned-down (or both). Also when politely asked to stop oogling [[spoiler: Corvus]], the Catachan guards immediately stop, whereas the Custodes refuse direct orders from the Emperor Himself to so much as tone it down a little.
* 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 demon 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. The lesser ones are actually fairly easy to avoid death, 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).

[[caption-width-right:319:'''WAAH!''']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Bruva Alfabusa
Effectively the Chapter Master of the Black Templars, and the man in command of perhaps the greatest army of Space Marines out there. He gets dragged into a podcast with the Emperor as a way to give him, and thus his entire chapter, some much-needed anger therapy.
----
* AxCrazy: He's the Chapter Master of the Black Templars, who are essentially the canon equivalent of Angry Marines. What else do you expect?
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Terminology issues are one of the biggest peeves the Emperor has with him and his legion. He tries to get pissed off about it, calling the terminology holy, but the Emperor shuts him down, telling him he ''will'' take the criticism for confusing the hell out of everyone. As to the issues themselves, most of them tend to be minor but bothersome (High Marshal vs. Chaptermaster). It even extends outside his legion; he calls his own HeroicBSOD "crusading inwardly".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thinks that a couch, which is meant to be comfortable, should be made of stone because stone is a harder material. His solution to Boy getting a shard in his eye to telling Boy to hate the shard, believing that hating an object will cause the wound to go away.
* CrazyAwesome: Apparently, the only reason the Black Templars are fleet-based is because you can't go crusading with a planet. ''They have tried''.
* FantasticRacism: Xenos and heretics aside, he seems to find the mere ''existence'' of mutants to be an affront to humanity in itself, an insulting deviation from the Emperor's perfect form that ought to be lethally corrected as soon as able. Then again, his thresholds for what qualifies or not as a mutant are dangerously broad, and spare no one; when the Emperor pointed out that, technically, being bald is a deviation from his form and thus a mutant by his standards, ''he almost scalped himself in pure self-hatred right then and there'' before the Emperor stopped him from that. He also has a mental breakdown when a Xeno (a necron, to be specific) approves of what he's doing, because by continuing to purge he'd be agreeing with a filthy xeno, but stopping his crusades would be equally as heretical.
* {{Hypocrite}}: The Custodes and the Emperor pointed Hellbrecht on the issues of Psykers and Navigators, both of whom are defined as "mutants" yet necessary for space travel that Black Templars need as a fleet-based chapter. Helbrecht justified this contradiction by stating that Psykers and Navigators are indeed employed, but they will be slated to be killed later after all mutants are exterminated in the galaxy.
-->'''Helbrecht:''' We figured we would kill them last...
* InelegantBlubbering: The tantrums he throws when he thinks ''he's'' the one being heretical are comparable to an eight year old's own, complete with high-pitched screaming.
* LargeHam: Has NoIndoorVoice and is prone to breaking into grandiose speeches.
* LiteralMinded: Though not as extreme a case as the Templars' progenitor, Helbrecht nonetheless has... ''issues'' with interpreting idioms too literally. When the Emperor tells him to "get [the Black Templar's] shit together" he initially assumes he means to collect their excrement in mounds as ammunition. That and when the Emperor talks about himself shitting on the Ultramarines, he thinks it was entirely literal.
* NoIndoorVoice: The man won't lower his voice even if the Emperor himself ordered him to, and screams like a psychopath throughout the entire podcast.
-->''I am not shouting! I am but exercising the MIGHT of my vocal chords, Emperor!''
-->''''' SILENCE IS FOR THE GRAVE!'''''
* NobleDemon: The Emperor acknowledges that for all of their many flaws, the Black Templars (and Helbrecht by extension) are living proof that Legions can exist and still serve the interests of the Imperium without falling to seed like Horus'.
* PerpetualFrowner: While the LimitedAnimation of the show (especially for the podcast) prevents one from seeing it, according to the Emperor his scowl is so intense and fixed it would have to be ''surgically removed'' for him to make any other sort of expression.
* ThePowerOfHate: He values it, and drives his legion forwards with it; he plans on tempering it and controlling it before unleashing it on the foes of mankind once the podcast is done, rather than simply let it rule him like before.
* PsychopathicManchild: His tendency to blurt out baby-like cries, along with his childish voice, didn't help with his aggressive nature.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He turns out to be this once the Emperor steers him in the right direction. While he doesn't take well some of the Emperor's decrees and affirmations, he recognizes that the Emperor outranks him and thus should be obeyed and swears to make everything he can to make sure his men will uphold the Emperor's will concerning the Black Templars.
* RecognitionFailure: He completely fails to recognize Rogal Dorn, just assuming him to be an Imperial Fist Centurion through the entire podcast. Then again, Rogal was wearing his helmet the entire time precisely because he didn't want to be recognized, and Helbrecht seemed to catch on in the last moments of the podcast, but doesn't act on it, claiming that everything will be revealed in due time.
* SensoryAbuse: In-universe, everyone hates his voice to the point of physical pain due to volume and enough raspiness to flay a man to the bone. He even shatters his own mug of tea when screaming.
-->'''Whammudes:''' MY EARDRUMS ARE LEAKING.
* VerbalTic: When berated, interrupted or generally contradicted, he usually belts out an indignant, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Waluigi-esque]] "WAAH!".
* VocalDissonance: The man is a giant, [[BaldOfAwesome utterly bald]] Space Marine at the head of the only actual Legion in the Imperium and with a heavy scowl that Judge Dredd would approve of, but his voice... [[note]] Granted it's also like that in canon sources but definitely not to this level [[/note]]
-->'''Emperor:''' [[AC:First of all, you need to devour a fruit basket's worth of throat lozenges, 'cause you just straight up sound like a goblin]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Almost squashes Boy at one point, due to a perceived insult; Rogal has to step in before anything happens.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Receiving a letter from a Necron Lord who is pleased with his crusades against another Necron Lord utterly confuses him and fills him with horrified shame turning into a panic attack, [[InsaneTrollLogic as that means he's doing something to ''help'' a xeno and that makes him a heretic.]] It gets so bad ''the Emperor and Dorn'' themselves have to calm him down.

* [[{{Mutants}} Mutant]]: Boy offhandedly mentions that he's a mutant. What kind is yet to be stated, but it could explain why he's always wearing a box.
** Alternatively, it could simply be that as a psyker, he is already considered a mutant.
* PsychicPowers: Billy is a latent psyker, which Lucius takes advantage of to prank call him.

!! Saint Celestine, The Living Saint
-> '''Voiced by:''' Snipe
Celestine is one of the Living Saints, a handful of extremely important people in the Imperial faith who have displayed miraculous powers and have been canonized by a conclave of the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition. She is known to come to the rescue of Imperial forces in the most dire of times.
----
* CoolSword: The sword she carries around is called The Ardent Blade while she doesn't get to use it, it still looks pretty cool.
* HolyHalo: The armour she wears which is The Armour of Saint Katherine incorporates an elaborate ornamental halo. Given Celestine's status as a Living Saint, the imagery drives that point home even more.
* {{Psychopomp}}: She serves this role, escorting the souls of the faithful to the Emperor to their safe afterlife in the Warp.

!! The Star Child, Compassion of The Emperor
-> '''Voiced by:''' Randolph Carter
A glowing child with the voice of a man who rides a reed boat. Implied to be the Emperor's lost soul or the embodiment of his discarded compassion and humanity that he needed to lose in order to lead the Imperium.
----
* AbsurdlyBrightLight: After [[spoiler:fusing with Fyodor he emits a light so bright that it can be seen throughout the entirety of the Warp, outside the Eye of Terror, and the ''entire fucking galaxy''.]]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He can't help but chuckle when he realizes the Dark Eldar have left a "Welcome to Commorragh" sign where the only way to see it would be entry through the Gate of Khaine.
* BigDamnHeroes: If it weren't for him, Fyodor, Russ and what's left of The Inquisition would have perished by Skarbrand's big daemon axe.
* BigGood: He's The Emperor with a dose of self-awareness and humility, so he qualifies even more than his thronebound counterpart.
* FusionDance: After taking over Fyodor, the end result is basically Fyodor with the Emperor's hair, hair color and love for the color gold.
* PowerGlows: His resurrection into Fyodor's body creates a psyker-based light so bright it not only utterly destroys the daemon army nearby, but it glows throughout the entire Warp and even out into the material world so far it can be seen outside the galaxy!
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgVuQ_Fbs5g Chairbound Prankster]] which plays when he and Fyodor become one.
* LightIsGood: Due to being a fragment of the Emperor himself, and supposedly his compassion, he definitely fits both light and good.
* NiceGuy: Considering he's the embodiment of the Emperor's Compasssion, he's really pleasant.
* SelfDeprecation: Fully admits that all of Fyodor's faults (self-important, angry, hypocritical, throne-bound) can just as easily be applied to himself as part of the Emperor.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: In a way, you can clearly tell that he's a fragment of the Emperor considering he has the same fabulous hair as he does.
