@@Marcusianery Yeah, Leandros has a LOT of haters from those who played or saw the first game, and the fact that there was such a gap between the first and this one meant that the disdain was sustained for a long time.

He was also fair with Titus - he was watching for slip ups, but recognised Titus didn't confirm his suspicions.
@@Lakrimoz Being a Chaplain is in no way a punitive assignment, it's a honored position. He is supposed to be the spiritual leader of the company, he is above Titus and only below the company's captain in rank. You also need to be an extremely badass warrior to become a Chaplain, since they are supposed to lead their company's men from the front in the toughest of situations to raise morale. You even see how he is now Titus' superior, and he even has some of Calgar's favor since he says to TItus that his new assignment will be under Leandros.

"The Codex ..." Titus: not this shit again... for the love of the Emperor.. yo little shjt.. let me tell you "But I am looking..." Titus: Oh, well... Brothaaaaaa!
He was not dogmatic like Leandros was. You see that here where he quotes Leandros but then at the end adds he is looking forward to the experience. Unlike Leandros he doesn't treat the codex as the end all be all of military wisdom but a guide. Situations on the ground warrant modification, coming up with new methods or use of several different codex methods into one new one.
He was always a good dude. He is resourcefull, good tactician and solid space marine averall, Titus's bad experiences in the past and Leandros's recommendation of not mentioning his past led Titus to be a somewhat bad commander to him. Men like Gadrial need good leadership to operate and achieve their potential (which is great btw) if that is not achieved thay go against their potantial and lash out (rightfully so). I experienced this in real life as a chief engineer in construction sites. Great character writing on this game.

To his credit, they were in the middle of an active combat zone requiring split-second answers to rapidly changing battlefields: it was neither the time or place for a full inquisition and Leandros could have waited to air his suspicions instead of constantly bringing them up and ultimately breaking chain of command.

As shitty as it may seem, Leandros’ only mistake was reporting Titus to The Inquisition instead of The Ultramarine Chaplains. Not sure if this is canon or not, but people say Leandros only became a Chaplain as a punishment from Calgar. It may seem like a promotion from where Leandros was, but once you’re a Chaplain, you are STUCK as a Chaplain, while Titus can still work back to Captain and further beyond.
@@robbiestafford6889 and not just chaplain, but the most hated, even by your colleagues. Under constant observation by higher-ups. He will never know battle or find joy of fighting alongside your battle brothers.
I wasn't expecting actual character arcs in this game but here we are and it's the best part of the story. Titus has to learn to not withhold information from his new brothers and to let go of his fear of being accused Chairon has to learn not to charge headfirst into Traitors and for him to keep his cool Gadriel has to learn not to fall to suspicion and doubt and to actually trust his superior officer. This scene being the accumulation of all of these arcs coming together in a satisfying way, whoever wrote this whole thing deserves an award.
Yeah I found myself through the entire campaign actually saying like "come on Titus, tell them about it, they have been fighting side by side with you they will probably have faith you aren't a traitor" I'm glad it came together at the end. I want to paint 3 Primaris and kitbash them to be these 3
@@Deltarious He has definitely learned. He could have easily used the Astropath disaster as a means to completely discredit Titus. But his criticisms of the squad and how they handled it were honestly very fair.
@@Deltarious Tbf, Leandros did learn a lot, instead of immediately fall in to conclusion, he do criticize his fellow brothers errors and point it out instead. And no, to be fair, even his word in last part is made sense from in-universe perspective. You proven yourself not guilty, but just for now, and not everyone is safe from being fallen.
The last part of the game when Titus said "You have restored my faith in Brotherhood" Man I shed a goddamn tear knowing what he went through since I played Space Marines 1 back in the days.
Gadriel is such an amazing character. He starts off being the annoying Leandros stand-in, but as the story unfolds he slowly starts to trust Titus as his battle-brother, and in the end he’s actually a foil to Leandros - someone who was able to put brotherhood and trust above dogma and suspicion. Amazingly dynamic character.
He also doesnt achieve this character development entirely on his own, but through the help of brother Chairon. Which reinforces the concept that a Marine is nothing without his brothers. Leandros did the whole Inquisition thing entirely on his own, without consulting his brothers. Which really is betrayal. He should have contacted the Chaplain or the Librarian of his company about it when they are back on Ultramar.
@@leonidemelin1131I’m pretty sure a small bit of Iron Hands or Imperial Fisrs geneseed might have contaminated the batch that Straban’s implants were grown from. He’s just so gloriously deadpan and matter-of-fact.
This is what I love about Space Marine 2. Titus is not the protagonist, but a protagonist. None of this could’ve been done without the main trio, nor without Talasa and the other squads. It really is a story about the Ultramarines, including Titus.
Gadriel: "The Codex Astartes does not support this action, but I'm looking forward to it." Leandros: "Oh I am so reporting you to the Inqisition for heresy."
Gadriel is actually a true homie. Even before this scene, there's a moment where one of his comrades is reported to be dead. Gadriel says he cannot believe that man would have died to hormogaunts. Titus replies there are deadlier things down there. Gadriel, understandably upset at losing someone he fought beside for 20 years, says that Titus should not have allowed the squad to be divided. Titus, correct from his POV, replies that duty is all. Gadriel simply replies "I do not forget my brothers so easily."
My favorite thing about the Dreadnought parts in the campaign and the operations is that at no point are you nor does the game tell you to escort him. He's escorting you, and he means it.
Imagine having stoic men talking about their emotions in a satisfying, believable way, with no "WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!" or any other comedic quip at the end that cheapens the moment.
i like how they all learned something and truly grew into a unit. gadriel learned to not just follow the book and not be so judgey about shit. chairon learned to claim down and not be so angry. and titus learned how to trust his brothers again and not be so secretive. even if it takes another decade, i would love to see these 3 together again.
I agree with you mostly. The difference is that Gadriel was never as anal about being by the books as Leandros was. He was the one who came up with he crazy "let's ram the ancient space marine battle barge into the rift thing to break it" idea. You are right that he learned that there are better ways to confront his brothers and superior officer about his suspicions than trying to kill him in an unadvised situation.
At the begging I hated Gadriel and in fact wouldn’t of been sad if he died. But oh boy did he redeem himself. Especially with tanking those Necron shards like a unit so Titus didn’t have to.
In the eternal twilight of a celestial battlefield, where stars weep and cosmic winds howl, shines the edict: "It is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself."

he had 2 service studs on his head so if I am not mistaken that means he was like 100 years or a little older, each stud representing 50 years of service. and now in this game he has 4 meaning he has been in service for over 200 years.
@@brothernikolai5827 A Gold stud usually represents 100 years of service. Which means Titus is over 400 years old. He had 2 studs before his capture. Then he was tortured by the Inquisition for a century. After his release, he spent a century in Deathwatch.
@ComradeStrogg correct. They're silver (50) not gold (100). You'll notice the Chaplin has 2 gold studs, the same as Titus's service record, since they're both 200ish years in their service.
Every single one of the displays a very clear and potentially dangerous character flaw during the course of the game, and all of them overcome their flaws and work together as a team in the end. Better character arcs than in movies these days
This could have been better if the Titus himself would start the line 'I am aware that Codex Astartes does not support this action...' but Gadriel would interrupt with 'the codex is a guideline, but how we live by it is a true test to Space Marine' following up with Chairon 'Try to keep up'.
I like what they did with Gadriel, he almost turned out like Leandros, but he actually learned from Titus instead of being a narcissist and believing he had all the answers, and as a result became a capable space marine worthy of respect
Titus here is men not cuz he is badass with killing bugs or has honor. He is a man cuz he takes responsibility for being betrayed by his own squad mates on himself not blaming Kaendros even when evidently the second was puss xD
Gadriel shows us what the Primaris are cabale of. While most Primaris die like chaff because they're inexperienced, Gadriel says "fuck the rules, i know what this body is capable of" and he goes all in. If more Primaris were like Gadriel, the Imperium would be steamrolling right now
