It is also suggested that Chaplains use their "oratory" skills for other purposes as well, but these may just be rumours spread to question the loyalty of the Spess Mehreens. He also has great oratorical skills to make his brothers stop bitching and to pick up his knife then charge that Bloodthirster and stab him right in the balls because goddammit that's how you make the Emprah proud. Many Chapters combine the two posts, but not always.įor all intents and purposes, just imagine a Space Marine, but even more fanatical and badass. Outside of the company Chaplains, you have the Master of Sanctity or High Chaplain oversees the Chapter Chaplaincy and is a senior advisor to the Chapter Master, and the Reclusiarch, who oversees the Reclusiam, where the Chapter's sacred relics and trophies are displayed. A chaplain maintains the morale of his battle brothers, ensuring their righteous anger is stoked into a raging fire, even in the most bleak and darkest of battles, either through inspiring sermons and/or being an example of The Emperor's fury by bashing His enemies into a bloody pulp with extreme prejudice. Donning black power or terminator armor with a skull helmet, a rosarius, their badge of office (a sacred power maul called a "Crozius Arcanum") and a fiery rhetoric able to inspire the most unmotivated troops into fanatical warriors of the Emperor on the spot. In battle however, Chaplains are just as inspiring, as they are in a chapel sermon. In the present, a Chaplain's role in the chapter is primarily ensuring the spiritual purity of the chapter: rooting out potential heresy, instilling and enforcing the wisdom of the Imperial Cult (although given the high amount of autonomy the Astartes gets, they may or may not have their own interpretations), and reminding his brothers of the chapter's traditions and history, from which they may draw strength and inspiration. This Chaplain is a Dreadnought, your argument is invalid
Prior to this some legions employed the Legion Consuls for a while.
After assuming control of the Council of Terra, Malcador the Sigillite instructed the Space Marine Legions to employ Chaplains to enforce the Decree of Nikaea, the Emperor's restrictions on Librarians, as a sort of proto- Commissar. Chaplains were originally formed by Lorgar as part of the religious slant he brought to the Word Bearers, charging them with spreading the cult of the Lectitio Divinatus, his early form of Emperor-worship.
