Lemartes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe, Chaplain Lemartes is a particularly strong-willed figure and the High Chaplain within the Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines.
Lemartes leads those members of the Blood Angels who have given in to the Black Rage. Although it is the responsibility of all Blood Angels chaplains to watch over those who give into the Black Rage, Lemartes himself leads these brothers into battle. While Lemartes is afflicted by the rage, he is able to have some control over his fury through his supreme strength of will. Lemartes' control over the rage is different from that of Lord Mephiston in that the while Mephiston has conquered the rage, Lemartes uses it.
Lemartes' authority within the Blood Angels is matched only by that of the Chapter Master, Commander Dante; such is his respect amongst his brothers that he is able, with just a word, to restrain the blood frenzied nature of those under the influence of the Black Rage. In combat, he wears a skull-shaped "death mask".
