Titus (Warhammer 40,000)

Demetrian Titus is the main protagonist of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and its sequel, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II. He is a Firstborn Space Marine of the Ultramarines Chapter, who fought to save planet Graia from an invasion by an Ork WAAAGH!, and then fought against the subsequent Chaos invasion led by Chaos Lord Nemeroth. Titus served as captain of the Ultramarines 2nd Company until late M41, before being demoted to lieutenant and becoming a Primaris Space Marine. Despite being relatively young by Adeptus Astartes standards at the start of Space Marine, he is a decorated veteran of many campaigns, and his heroic exploits have gained him a reputation as one of the greatest heroes of the Ultramarines.
Titus was voiced by Mark Strong in Space Marine, but was recast to Clive Standen for Space Marine II.
==Biography==
===Past===
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Demetrian Titus was born around 175 years before M41, in the realm of Ultramar, home of the noble Ultramarines, hailed as the greatest Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes, the strongest defenders of the Imperium of Man. Titus was recruited by the Ultramarines in his youth, and excelled as a recruit, although he had trouble controlling his temper. Regardless, he overcame many opponents and suffered many wounds as he rose the ranks of the Ultramarines, serving in the Ultramarines 2nd Company. While he followed the rules and guidance of the Codex Astartes, the sacred tome of strategy, organization, and moral behavior of a Space Marine Chapter, Titus believed that the most important part of the Codex was its spirit, not its letter, and how one chose to uphold its values.
Early in his service, Titus befriended fellow Ultramarine and veteran sergeant Sidonus. At some point in Titus' service, he was part of an Ultramarines squad who engaged a Chaos Sorcerer, a powerful psyker corrupted by the Ruinous Powers. Titus' whole squad was killed by the Sorcerer's Warp-infused attacks, but Titus somehow survived direct blasts of Warp energy, single-handedly killing the Chaos Sorcerer despite suffering grievous injuries. To the shock of Ultramarine Apothecaries, Titus survived his injuries and recovered. Many in the Chapter questioned how Titus could have survived the direct touch of the Warp, something Titus himself could not explain, but he remained in Ultramarine service regardless. At another point in time, the Ultramarines 2nd Company was deployed to Beta-Arcturus against an invading force of Eldar Aspect Warriors from Craftworld Biel-Tan, where the company's captain, Trajan, slew the Eldar's Autarch commander. However, Leandros, a young and by-the-book battle-brother of the company, was captured by the fleeing surviving Aspect Warriors, prompting Trajan to lead Titus and the rest of the company in pursuit of the xenos. However, the Aspect Warriors managed to reach a larger force of Eldar, which ambushed and killed Trajan. Now as the highest-ranking officer, Titus took charge of the operation and led the company in successfully driving out the alien threat, rescuing Leandros and reclaiming Trajan's body.
Titus' bravery and leadership skills in the campaign on Beta-Arcturus were noticed by Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, who had Titus promoted to 2nd Company Captain to replace Trajan. Sidonus, who had remained Titus' closest friend and confidant, was made his second-in-command, with Leandros joining Titus' command squad and looking up to both Titus and Sidonus. Titus was soon widely regarded as a model of humility and martial prowess by First Company Captain Severus Agemman and Calgar himself, and befriended Ultramarines Chief Librarian Varro Tigurius. By late M41, Titus had served for over 150 years, with Leandros and Sidonus at his side in every battle, leading the Ultarmarines 2nd Company to victory after victory against all manners of horrific threats.
===Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine===
In late M41, planet Graia, an important Forge World of the Imperium, was invaded by an Ork WAAAGH!, a war on apocalyptic scale. Over a million Orks landed on Graia and quickly overwhelmed the planet's defenses, intent on capturing Imperial weaponry being developed on the planet, including a powerful Warlord-class Titan. As the planet was deemed to valuable to risk losing with an Exterminatus, and due to reinforcements taking too long to arrive, with the 203rd regiment of Cadian Shock Troops already deployed to Graia being unable to retake it, the Ultramarines 2nd Company were deployed to Graia to secure the Titan manufactorum before the Orks could get it. Captain Titus, with his battle-brothers Sidonus and Leandros, led the drop onto Graia, flying into the planet's atmosphere aboard a Thunderhawk gunship. However, the gunship began taking heavy damage from anti-air emplacements aboard an Ork Kill Kroozer in the atmosphere, which had been destroying any support or escort vessels that entered Graia. Seeing this, Titus ordered the pilot to get to safety, ordered his companions to equip jump packs, and opened the gunship deployment doors, planning on boarding and disabling the Kill Kroozer. Sidonus questioned Titus' plan for a moment, but decided to follow it, although Leandros voiced his displeasure, citing the Codex Astartes. In response, Titus merely told Leandros to try to keep up, before diving out of the gunship with his jump pack, brandishing a bolt pistol and combat knife.
As Titus flew through the atmosphere, weaving through explosions and dogfights between Imperial and Ork forces, he found himself separated from Leandros and Sidonus, who had jumped after him. Regardless, Titus located the Kill Kroozer and landed on it, quickly slaughtering the Orks aboard it, fighting his way towards the Kroozer's anti-air turret. Once he reached it, a massive cyborg Ork lumbered out of the bridge of the vessel, yelling at the Space Marine to get off his ship. The Ork was none other than Warboss Grimskull, the leader of the Ork WAAAGH!. Seeing him, Titus quickly grabbed the base of the turret, and using his immense strength, forcefully rotated the still-firing turret to make it shoot the vessel itself, forcing Grimskull to flee from view. The turret ended up bringing the Kill Kroozer down, making it crash into a ruined city on the surface. However, Titus survived, punching his way out of the wreckage before setting out to find his companions. He quickly found Leandros, the two killing more Orks that attacked them as they trudged through the ruined, Ork-held Industrial Zone 82. Leandros once again attempted to cite the Codex Astartes as the reason for his dislike of Titus' jump pack plan, but Titus simply asked why Leandros followed the Codex so strictly, telling Leandros that there were benefits in thinking for oneself.
After brutally slaying all Orks they came across, with Titus picking up more weapons, including a proper bolter and chainsword, the Ultramarines encountered still-living Imperial guardsmen, members of the 203rd Cadian regiment. Titus, seeing the Cadians under assault from especially powerful Orks, helped the guardsmen destroy the Ork attackers. With the area temporarily secure, the Cadians thanked Titus for his help, in awe of being in the presence of the mighty Ultramarines, and Titus soon found Sidonus, helping the veteran sergeant fight through a small onslought of Orks near a ruined monument, reuniting the command squad. Sidonus noted that the Orks hadn't dismantled the nearby planetary defense gun, but were instead using it, which was not their usual behavior. Titus realized that Grimskull had not only survived the Kill Kroozer crash, but was also much more tactically-minded than the average Ork. Titus and his companions then met with 2nd Lieutenant Mira, the only surviving officer of the 203rd Cadian, who informed them that the Orks had captured a planetary defense cannon known as the Goliath, which they had been using to destroy any support crafts of the Imperial Guard, preventing more Cadian forces currently in orbit from landing.
Titus assured Mira that he would disable the Goliath, and accompanied by Mira and other guardsmen, Titus, Sidonus, and Leandros fought their way through the Ork hordes, finally breaching the domed structure housing the Goliath. As the Ultramarines entered, Mira and her forces stayed outside to continue holding the line, with Mira's hope in repelling the Ork invasion restored by the Ultramarines' presence. Titus soon retrieved a Melta-bomb within the structure, and after killing the Orks that infested the building, he had the bomb planted on a shell that was being loaded into the Goliath, which would make the gun explode once the shell was fired. However, some Orks got ahold of the shell on a higher level of the structure and removed it from the sequence, forcing Titus to kill those Orks and defend his companions from more incoming Orks as they returned the shell to the firing sequence. Once the shell was loaded, it was quickly fired, but exploded within the barrel of the Goliath, blasting the weapon apart. With that, Valkyrie gunships of the Cadian Shock Troops began landing in orbit, bringing much-needed support to the 203rd Cadian.
With the gun emplacement down, Titus led his companions towards Manufactorum Ajakis, where a Warlord-class Titan was being held, as his orders to stop the Orks from capturing the Titan remained in effect. To reach the manufactorum, they found an Ork vehicle loaded onto a cargo railway system, meant to ram through the gates of Manufactorum Ajakis. Titus and his companions boarded the vehicle and quickly killed the Orks aboard, with Titus picking up a plasma cannon emplacement and used it to shoot down an Ork dropship that engaged them, before forcing the train to crash. Once they disembarked from the wreckage, Titus soon came across a Servo-skull that was scanning corpses of guardsmen, seeking a living subject to deliver its message to. Once it found the Ultramarines, the Servo-skull relayed a message from Inquisitor Drogan, an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor on Graia, who had sent a desperate distress call when the Orks first invaded. The message spoke of the Orks closing in on the Titan manufactorum, prompting Titus to double the pace to reach it. At the manufactorum, the Ultramarines met up with another surviving 203rd soldier, Corporal Antioch, who helped the Ultramarines gain entry into the complex.
Inside, Titus and his companions were relieved to see the complex still free of Orks, and soon met with Inquisitor Drogan. Drogan told the Ultramarines of the facility's power source, a novel device of incredible power that could not be allowed to fall into Ork hands. As such, Drogan led Titus and his companions deeper into the facility, where Orks broke in through the pipes and attacked them. Regardless, Titus and his companions pressed forward, killing the Orks until they reached the chamber of the power source, where Titus descended alone to retrieve it, finding that the power source appeared to be a strange, hand-sized cylinder wreathed in mysterious energy. However, Grimskull himself broke into the chamber, fixated on the power source as a "shiny thing," and disabled a Servitor that Titus tried to activate to disengage the power source from its mount. Drogan warned that the power source was unstable and could blow, ordering Titus to manually insert it into its containment unit, still held in the Servitor's arms. Titus quickly killed several Orks that jumped into the chamber after him, and after dodging blasts from Grimskull, Titus grabbed the unshielded power source, which unleashed a powerful, Warp-based explosion, although Titus managed to force the power source into its container as the blast engulfed the area.
Titus survived the blast, emerging in the sewers under the facility, and clipped the power source to his belt. He managed to get in contact with his companions, finding that Drogan was sure that Titus couldn't have survived, and Titus then fought his way out of the sewers, cutting through multitudes of Orks. He finally merged from the sewers, power source still secured, and reunited with Sidonus and Leandros, the three meeting with Drogan again. Drogan still believed that there was no way for Titus to have survived the blast, and revealed that the power source was actually Warp energy, something that Leandros exclaimed was heresy. Drogan insisted that his work was sanctioned by the Imperium, and that the power source could power a weapon known as the Psychic Scourge, a weapon capable of destroying the Orks. When questioned by Sidonus, Drogan explained that the weapon had never been test fired, and was capable of destroying the planet if things went wrong, saying that he needed proper sanction to use it. However, another Ork Rok, the asteroid-like invasion crafts that Orks used, crashed through a nearby building, with Titus noting that the increasing Ork forces should be sanction enough. With that, Drogan led the Ultramarines to the location of the Psychic Scourge, in the Kalkys facility. First, Titus split off from his companions to keep the Orks off their backs, single-handedly tearing through multiple Ork hordes, and soon met with Lieutenant Mira again in Bastion Primus, where Titus' companions had already arrived at, allowing Mira to use Valkyrie gunships to ferry Titus and his companions to Kalkys, with Titus keeping Ork forces off his Valkyrie while his companions boarded a separate gunship. However, the Valkyrie still went down when an Ork flew into its engine, forcing Titus to crash-land on an Ork-held bridge. Titus quickly cleared the bridge of Orks before being picked up by Lieutenant Mira's own Valkyrie, and flown to meet with his companions, who had already landed at Kalkys.
Once they landed, Titus, Sidonus, and Leandros followed Drogan towards the facility, blasting through Orks and entering the building, where they were forced to destroy and disable the facility's security systems, which were set to shoot every living being, including them. Titus, Leandros, and Sidonus then had to fight off several Orks who broke into the facility, ensuring the weapon's power source was secure, before manually inserting the power source and traveling to the top of the towering facility, just as Grimskull caught up with them and breached the top of the facility. However, the Ultramarines still managed to fire the Psychic Scourge, which sent out a blast of Warp energy that struck an Orbital Spire specifically meant to channel the energy into a psychic blast that would destroy all the Orks. However, to Titus' dismay, the weapon did not work, as the Orks rose after the initial shockwave passed. However, before the two sides could fight again, Warp rifts opened up behind the Orks, revealing Bloodletter Daemons that quickly tore the Orks apart, even overwhelming Grimskull and sending him plummeting off the top level.
Then, another Warp rift opened, and from the rift came Nemeroth, a grotesque Chaos Lord and Sorcerer clad in powerful Chaos Terminator Armor. Nemeroth promptly restrained the Ultramarines with his Warp powers, and Drogan then entered the room, nonchalantly approaching Nemeroth. Titus tried to call out for Drogan to stay back, but then, to Titus' horror, Drogan knelt before Nemeroth and said that his part of the plan had been completed. As it turns out, Titus and his companions had been talking to a corpse all along, as the real Drogan had been killed by a Daemon just after sending his distress signal, with the Daemon using Drogan's body as a host ever since, rewiring the Psychic Scourge to open Warp rifts and using the Ultramarines as unwitting pawns.
Nemeroth then recalled the Daemon within Drogan's body, and noted that Titus had an abnormally strong resilience to the Warp, doubling the energies used in restraining Titus. However, before Nemeroth could try to kill the Ultramarines, Grimskull climbed back onto the top floor, declaring he wasn't so easy to kill, before attacking Nemeroth and tackling him off the tower once more, the two falling to the lower levels and freeing the Ultramarines, also leaving the Warp power source behind. Once freed, they began descending the tower, discovering platoons of Chaos Cultists and Chaos Marines of the Chosen of Nemeroth warband teleporting into the structure. After killing the Chaos soldiers, Titus and his companions got outside, seeing the massive Warp storm forming over the Orbital Spire, which could grow large enough to bring an entire Chaos Fleet through, something that would surely doom the planet.
Titus, who had retrieved the Warp power source, once again held onto it as the Ultramarines made their way to Manufactorum Ajakis, with Titus planning to use the Titan within to destroy the Orbital Spire by supercharging its weaponry with the power source, even while Leandros became increasingly unnerved by Titus' ability to withstand so much raw Warp energy, a sign of Chaos corruption. Regardless, the three pressed on, reuniting with Lieutenant Mira and helping the 203rd Cadian fight through Chaos Marines and cultists. However, Grimskull and his WAAAGH! Orks remained active, and kept hunting down Titus to get the power source. As such, Titus separated from his companions and engaged Grimskull in an outpost on the way to Manufactorum Ajakis, where Titus slew all of Grimskull's guards, before being pulled into an empty room with Grimskull. There, he battled Grimskull directly, critically wounding the warboss after a fierce battle. Grimskull, crippled before the Ultramarine, defiantly shouted that he wasn't finished with Titus, but Titus responded that he was finished with Grimskull, before blasting Grimskull's head apart with a plasma pistol. With Grimskull dead, the WAAAGH! fell into disarray, Orks scattering and being easily picked off by the 203rd Cadian. However, the threat from the Warp was still active, so Titus rejoined his companions and took the rail system back to Manufactorum Ajakis, where the Titan, known as Invictus, was being crewed and loaded.
At Manufactorum Ajakis, Titus and his companions fought their way through Chaos forces, reaching Invictus. There, Titus released the Titan's mooring clamps, boarded Invictus, and personally fended off Chaos forces who tried to stop the Titan's launch, before loading the power source into the Titan. With the power boost, Invictus unleashed a powerful blast that destroyed the Orbital Spire, preventing the Warp rift above it from growing larger, but did not close it. Additionally, the pieces of the tower remained suspended in defiance of gravity due to the Warp energy, but at that moment, Imperial reinforcements arrived in the form of a Liberation Fleet, including more Ultramarines and Space Marines of the Blood Ravens Chapter, all moving in to assault the Orbital Spire and clear it of heretics. Titus requested an evacuation ship, giving the power source to Sidonus and telling him to get it back to the Ultramarines homeworld of Macragge, where they could figure out how to neutralize it.
Sidonus made for an extraction point while Leandros and Titus held off incoming Chaos forces, but when Titus and Leandros met up with Sidonus at the extraction point, Sidonus was ambushed by Nemeroth, who killed Sidonus and took the power source. Enraged, Titus ran to attack Nemeroth, only for him and Leandros to be restrained once more by Nemeroth's Warp energy. Nemeroth declared that he would use the power source to fuel his ascension to a Daemon Prince, again noting Titus' Warp resilience. Nemeroth then teleported away, but not before mockingly asking if Titus would soon join the ranks of Chaos. Both Titus and Leandros are left distraught over Sidonus' death, but Titus urges Leandros not to give in to grief, ordering him to keep Sidonus' body safe, while the two are met with Lieutenant Mira. After Titus explained what happened, Mira asked what Titus' plan was now, and Titus resolved to attack Nemeroth before he can become a Daemon Prince, when Nemeroth would be most vulnerable, vowing to kill Nemeroth for his crimes. Leandros was still wary of Titus' inexplicable ability to resist the Warp energies, worried that Nemeroth would use it to his advantage, but Titus assured him that he would never give into the Ruinous Powers, with Mira encouraging Titus to use his resistance to get close enough to Nemeroth for a killing blow. With that, Titus set out for the bridge leading to the Orbital Spire, calling in a transport to take him to the top of the Orbital Spire, ordering Leandros to stay behind with Sidonus' body until the Apothecaries arrived.
On the bridge, Titus was joined by Blood Ravens and Ultramarines alike, blasting their way through Chaos Marines and other Chaos Cultists, before boarding a Thunderhawk and equipping a jump pack, getting dropped off on the floating debris of the tower's upper levels and ascending to the top of the tower, slaying any Chaos Marine or Cultist who dared to stand in his way, fighting with incredible fury that felled even the Bloodletter Daemons that attacked him. Titus soon reached the top of the spire, where Nemeroth was using the power source to fuel himself, starting to transform into a Daemon Prince. Seeing Titus, Nemeroth said that Titus' Warp resilience was a sign that he was destined to join Chaos, offering Titus the chance to bring the Ultramarines into the ranks of Chaos and use their power to conquer the universe, but Titus refused, declaring that his only mission was to destroy the traitors to the Imperium. With that, Nemeroth sent hordes of Chaos Marines, Chaos Cultists, and Bloodletters at Titus, only for Titus to slaughter them all, just as Nemeroth partially transformed into a Daemon Prince, his visage becoming more bestial as his armor became more organic. However, Titus charged at the Chaos Lord, tackling Nemeroth off the side of the spire, the two falling through the atmosphere. Nemeroth attempted to blast Titus with Warp blasts, but Titus dodged and latched onto Nemeroth, furiously beating Nemeroth with his fists and dodging Nemeroth's punches, using his full skill and fury to engage Nemeroth in physical combat. Finally, Titus drew his chainsword and used it to nearly sever one of Nemeroth's arms, disabling its ability to fire Warp blasts, before grabbing Nemeroth by the head, and with a final burst of Astartes fury, Titus crushed Nemeroth's head, killing him. Nemeroth's body disintegrated as it melted back into the Warp, the power source falling from his unholy armor. Titus caught the power source in midair, hearing Nemeroth's voice once again ask if he would be joining Chaos, but Titus instead pulled the power source apart, dispelling the Warp energy and neutralizing the device. With that, Titus was caught in midair by an incoming Ultramarines Thunderhawk, and returned to the ground.
On the ground, as the Liberation Fleet cleared out remaining hostile forces, Titus emerged from the Thunderhawk, immediately met by Lieutenant Mira. Titus then fell to his knees from both exhaustion and his injuries, and Mira noted that Ultramarines were human after all, with Titus confirming that they could be very human. However, as Titus stood, Leandros approached with a newly-arrived Inquisitor, named Thrax, who was accompanied by a squad of Black Templar Space Marines. As it turns out, Leandros had reported Titus to the Inquisition on suspicion of heresy due to Titus' Warp resilience, and Thrax questioned if Titus had turned to Chaos. Angered, Titus exclaimed that he was no heretic, pointing out how he killed Nemeroth, but Thrax was undeterred, telling Titus that if Titus did not comply with the investigation, the Ultramarines 2nd Company, Lieutenant Mira, and 203rd Cadian would be suspected of heresy as well and dealt with accordingly. Mira tried to pull Titus away and insist that he doesn't comply, but Titus pointed out that if he resisted, Mira and her allies would be destroyed, and the Ultramarines would be forever disgraced. As such, he agreed to go with Thrax, but when Leandros tried to cite the Codex Astartes again, Titus clarified that while the Codex was a set of rules to mold them as Ultramarines, the true test of a Space Marine was how they chose to live by the values of the Codex, a test that Leandros had failed. With that, Titus entered Thrax' transport, being taken away for investigation of heresy.
=== Deathwatch service ===
Thrax, as it turns out, held an extreme grudge against Astartes, seeing them as a liability to the Imperium and never trusting them, especially after the Badab War, an uprising instigated by the renegade Astral Claws Chapter. Thrax kept Titus imprisoned for over a century, torturing and psychically interrogating Titus in an attempt to find what the truth of Titus' Warp resilience was, keeping Titus in stasis between interrogations. However, Thrax then led an operation against the traitorous Grey Hunters Chapter, where he was possessed by a Daemon and in turn killed by the Daemon-hunting Grey Knights Chapter. In the wake of Thrax's death, Titus and other imprisoned Astartes in Thrax's custody, still in stasis, were transferred to the Inquisition's Deathwatch, the militant wing of the alien-hunting Ordo Xenos, made up of veteran Astartes of many different Chapters. After being awoken, Titus was brought before Deathwatch Chaplains in Watcher Keep, who found him free of Chaos taint or disloyalty. However, when Titus asked about the Ultramarines, the Deathwatch revealed that there were no records of Titus ever serving the Chapter. Overcome with shock and grief that he had apparently been considered a disgrace and censured by his own battle-brothers, Titus joined Deathwatch as a Blackshield, an Astartes in self-imposed exile, all heraldry purged from his power armor.
Titus thus served alongside the Astartes of Deathwatch for years, craving no glory but to serve until death. At this point in time, unbeknownst to Titus, the Ultramarine's Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, had been resurrected on Macragge during the 13th Black Crusade of Chaos, and now served as Lord Commander of the Imperium. He led the Indomitus Crusade against the various enemies of humanity, as the galaxy had literally been split in two by the opening of the Great Rift, a Warp Storm formed in the wake of the 13th Black Crusade. However, this crusade left many worlds weakened after committing large numbers of soldiers to the war effort, leaving them more vulnerable to invasion. During this time, the 4th Tyrannic War raged over the Imperium, where swarms of Tyranids, ravenous extragalactic aliens that threatened to consume all life in the Milky Way, invaded the already-beleaguered strongholds of humanity. Assigned to Kill Team Kasaeran during the 4th Tyrannic War, Titus was eventually deployed to the Recidious System to reinforce local Astra Militarum regiments against invading forces of Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan. However, when arriving on planet Kadaku, Titus' team was forced to crash-land by swarms of winged Tyranid bioforms, and on the ground, the other Deathwatch Astartes were quickly slaughtered by a Tyranid Carnifex. Titus managed to kill the monstrous alien, but was gravely wounded in the process.
Bleeding out on the ground, Titus accepted his impending death, glad to have given his life in service of the Emperor. Then, the Ultramarines First Company arrived on the planet to reinforce other Deathwatch forces, bringing none other than Captain Agemman and Chief Librarian Tigurius, the latter of whom sensed Titus' dying soul when arriving from the Warp. The Ultramarines quickly retrieved Titus, saving his life by converting him into a Primaris Marine, a genetically upgraded Astartes secretly developed over the last 10,000 years under orders from Guilliman himself. Now back in his original Chapter, Titus was met with Calgar and Agemman, who revealed that they had been furiously trying for years to get Titus back while he was in Thrax's custody, only to be turned away each time, their petitions lost to the impossibly complex Imperial bureaucracy or outright ignored. As it turns out, they did not censor Titus' name and service due to thinking him a traitor, but because the Chapter was deeply ashamed of their disastrous failure to reclaim one of their best marines from the Inquisition. In truth, Titus was still deeply respected by many veteran Ultramarines, and as such, Titus was reinstated to the Ultramarines 2nd Company. However, the position of 2nd Company Captain was already taken by an Astartes named Cato Sicarius, so Titus was given the rank of lieutenant.
=== Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun ===
Several years after the invasion of Graia, it was revealed that a fragment of Drogan's power source had survived Titus destroying it, and had been found by some rogue tech-priests. The tech-priests used the fragment to restart Drogan's heretical experiments on xenos, leading to yet another Warp rift to open over the planet, and the Black Legion of Chaos invaded Graia under the command of Chaos Sorcerer Tulumus Samael. While Titus himself remained in the custody of the Inquisition, thus not seen in-game, Titus was referenced a few times by Inquisitor Seibel and Ultramarines 1st Company Sternguard Veteran Malum Caedo. Caedo was deployed to deal with the new incursion, and already familiar with the heroism and sacrifices made by Titus and his allies, Caedo swore to finish what the captain had started. Caedo would ultimately succeed in killing Samael and once again saving Graia.
===Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II===
Now reinstated as an Ultramarine, Titus was sent on a mission to liberate two Imperial worlds from a Tyranid invasion.
==Trivia==
*Captain Titus was originally relegated to an alternate universe of the mainstream Warhammer 40,000 timeline, where the Ultramarines 2nd Company is captained by Cato Sicarius in late M41. However, as of Space Marine II, he has been officially included in the mainstream Warhammer 40,000 timeline, with his demotion to lieutenant following the events of Space Marine serving to fit him into the proper canon. Issue 497 of the magazine White Dwarf established that the events on Graia happened before Cato Sicarius took command.
