He intended to find his father and rescue him before the inevitable claimed Cyrene. A former soldier of the Imperial Guard, Gabriel believed that his father would always have remained a staunch defender of the Emperor's values no matter what insanity the rest of Cyrene had chosen to embrace. Gabriel assisted the Grey Knights, the Imperial Guardsmen and his brethren as they began to cleanse the world of its Heretics, but he ordered one squad of Blood Ravens led by Sergeant Ulrey to search for individual in particular - his father, Esmond Angelos. But what they discovered was not the usual forms of Chaos corruption but a world in the midst of a great cultural change, ready to throw off the shackles of the Imperial Creed and embrace forbidden ideas such as planetary democracy, free trade with xenos species, and allowing psykers to practice their powers unrestricted while living among the population without stigma or being handed over to the Black Ships. When the Imperial fleet had arrived in orbit above Cyrene, it had first despatched a full Brotherhood of the Grey Knights, alongside a detachment of Storm Troopers and the Blood Ravens already present to cleanse the suspected Chaos infestation. The reason for Gabriel's guilt was simple. All records of the incident, including Gabriel's message to the Inquisition, have been sealed, but Gabriel himself carries the guilt of his actions with him to this day, particularly during the battles on the planet Tartarus. Within months of the signal, ships of the Inquisition and the Imperial Navy appeared over Cyrene, executing an Exterminatus bombarding it for a week straight until nothing on the planet remained alive. He quickly returned to his strike cruiser, and sent a coded signal out of the system. But Gabriel found something very wrong during the trials, and cut them short. Many years later, with an entire company of Blood Ravens under his command, Gabriel returned to Cyrene, to preside over the Blood Trials and recruit new members into the Chapter. He has a reputation of delivering success even when facing impossible odds. He was born on Cyrene, one of the Blood Ravens recruiting worlds, which was destroyed by an Exterminatus–ordered by Angelos himself for reasons undisclosed – shortly before Dawn of War.Ĭaptain Angelos is a long-standing commander of the 3rd Company, renowned for his victory against the forces of Chaos during the Tartarus campaign and another solid defeat delivered to the Tau Empire in the Targa system between Dawn of War and Dawn of War II. The enemies of the Emperor shall be destroyed.According to Dawn of War II, Angelos is widely considered to be the finest living example of his Chapter and one of the notable heroes in the Chapter's whole history.Death or healing, I care not which you seek.No servant of the Emperor shall fall if I can help it. ![]() ![]() The fallen shall be forever remembered as the Emperor's finest.As a result, there's no reason not to train the maximum number of them. Apothecaries are cheap, costs no Squad cap and are trained much quicker than other units. Apothecaries have a chainsword and can engage in melee combat when needed, but does not provide a combat bonus like a commander. The unit does not improve the squad's morale or fighting capacity, but boosts the squad's health regeneration (and that of other nearby units).
