Titus needs to learn to share valuable information with his subordinates. Telling the sargeant "I've slain a demon with such class that of my troopers pooped his pants and called mom" would make the situation much clearer for him.

He was ordered by the Captain to not create drama after suddenly being installed as commander (lt) of a squad at the beginning of the game. Titus also operates under the assumption that the Astartes disavowed him (actually not the case). Keep in mind Titus only just began working with gadriel and chairon.
That's actually the problem with Titus, people were glazing him for being a complete badass but he also has an issue with opening up to people and excepts them to do as they are told despite him leading by example. It's kinda the same thing that led to the Horus Heresy and to the Imperium ending up in ruin.
For his crime of giving up his own kin to a traitor of the Imperium instead of his chapter’s chaplain, he was promoted to Chaplain rank, so every time he sees his reflection, whether in the surface of burnished bronze or the blood of slain enemies, he will be reminded that it is his job to judge his brothers’ actions, not the Inquisition.
@@FriendlySwarmlord Inquisition is the highest authority in the Imperium except the God-Emperor and Lord Commander. If they would think it's not within their jurisdiction, they'd forward Titus to Chaplain. Although Leandros didn't follow protocol on this (ironic) the fact that they agreed to take care of this shows that Leandros was not completelly wrong (either that, or both Leandros and Inquisition miscalculated the situation heavily... which is unlikely considering how competent Inquisition usually is).
@@fanta4897 well it was later reveal that thrax was a heretic and one that had a deep hatred for Space Marines. He is dead now but it does not change that Leandros basically handed Titus to a Heretic who was a Inquisitor. Leandros action is still in question because now for me anyways, there is suspicion that Leandros is maybe being manipulated by Chaos using his dogmatic beliefs for the codex.
@@fanta4897that inquisitor is not incompetent he is just a heretic who hates astartes, that's why he didn't return Titus to the chapter when he didn't find any mark of corruption. He later got executed by the grey knights and Titus thinks they had found a stain of corruption due to his long imprisonment.
The thing is, Titus feel responsible if in the future his subordinates got tainted because of his ability to resist warp power. The Inquisitor broke him in every way.
For everyone giving Titus flak for being secretive, try being tortured by a psycho inquisitor for 100 years. You’d also have some trust issues after your fellow brother rats you out to the Imperial KGB after doing your job TOO WELL
you seem to forget Titus admits his imprisonment was *literally because he refused to answer the concerns of his battle brother and constantly disregarded him*
@@nicholasbrown668 No it wasn't lol. Leandros never once believed anything Titus said after his interaction with the Warp. The Inquistor that imprisoned and tortured Titus was actually an agent of Chaos and was killed once they found out. Leandros laid down accusations that by rule, have to be followed up. And even after the fact, Lord Calgar admitted the inquisition was too arrogant and hasty in their actions against Titus.
@@shadydealz Thrax wasn't an agent of chaos.....disregarding everything you said because you got that massively wrong also Titus literally admits *in this game that he disregarded Leandros concerns*
Service in the deathwatch wasn't his punishment. He was subjected years of torture and stasis imprisonment. The inquisitor that held him turned out to be possessed, so when the gray knights found out and killed him they found Titus and other prisoned marines in stasis. Titus just ended up with the deathwatch since he still felt guilty for bringing shame on the chapter.
@th3lonef0x4 my source is Luetin09's video on Titus. Plus it just makes since when you think about it. Deathwatch is a very elite force that takes members from any chapter that proves worthy, so I doubt they'd accept receiving astartes that are being punished. Plus, serving in the Deathwatch is a high honor when space marines return to their chapter, meaning the Ultramarines would've find Titus sooner had they'd known, and Titus wouldn't have been so ashamed that he became a black shield.
A black shield deathwatch astartes is a penitent astartes, but they never join as a punishment, joining the deathwatch is actually one of the highest honors they can aim in their lives. Adding to this, Calgar did try to recover Titus to the Ultramarine chapter, but chances are Titus felt guilty for mudding the name of the chapter, plus failing to keep Leandros in check, so it took him getting mortal wounds, plus the chaplain pretty much forcing the issue making him primaris to get him to rejoin the chapter for good (normally they would not be able to force him)
@@tomtommerson6320Jesus you are luetin sleep club because you got that wildly wrong lmao. Thrax interrogated and tortured Titus and several other space Marines, when he found no mark of corruption in Titus he still kept him as he just hated astartes, he later went on campaign with the Grey Knights and ended up possessed by a Daemon which they killed after this Titus was released and given the option of returning to his Chapter in what he thought would be immense shame and bring them nothing but dishonor or take up the Black Shield and join the Death Watch
Seriously Titus should've be honest with Gadriel and Chairon since telling them nothing would only sow doubt in their minds,which the chaos forces would take advantage of

Given the reason Titus went with Thrax in the firstplace was to not dishonor his chapter and doom the whole second company, Titus saying he would die for those colours is overwhealmingly true
how awesome is titus for real... one of the imperium's finest.. getting betrayed, tortured, slandered and belittled, dude just wants to accomplish his missions for the ultrama

You have a brief, maybe somewhat aggressive spat, but at the end of it you recognize that you'd go to hell for and with your buds, and that you can both relate to each others flaws. Literally better and healthier story telling than most mainstream moves in a decade.
People keep saying shit like “oh why didn’t Titus just tell them from the beginning blah blah blah” did you not play the first game? The last time Titus confided in one of his brothers he was sentenced to a century of penance with the Deathwatch for a false accusation of heresy. Titus is naturally very wary of divulging personal information since then. The entire point of the game, and the point of Gadriel’s entire character, is Titus learning to trust in his brothers again. He literally says at the end of the game “you have restored my faith in brotherhood”. Pretty easy to understand.
This is why I think the whole game should have been with Titus in the watch. They do special side missions apart from the main force, plus killteams are versatile in weapons and equipment, including the use of xenos tech.
Fun fact: the reason why Titus couldn't be captain of the 2nd company anymore is not because of his time as a black shield but because try to guess who was actually captain of the 2nd company a hundred years back lore wise ? just a simple guy named *CATO SICARIUS* so making Titus a lieutenant was the developers' way of complying with the lore. As for Acheran ? he is the lore accurate current captain of the 2nd company given that Sicarius was lost in the warp for a while and is currently fighting alongside papa smurf Guilliman himself so until he probably comes back to his company, Acheran is keeping the seat warm.
Not really. The Ultramarines are a "Jack of all trades". Sure, the Raven Guard may be better at stealth. The Imperial Fists may be better a besieging. The White Scars may be better at maneuvering. And the Blood Angels may be better at assaulting. But the Ultramarines, while perhaps best at nothing (except logistics) are the second best AT EVERYTHING! And they always have a plan B. That is why they are the poster-boys for the entire franchise!
Titus' loyalty is to the Emperor, his Chapter and Brothers. I don't blame him for being hesitant in devolging the details of his Deathwatch service. The 2nd Company Captain and the Chaplain regard Titus with some level of hostility or suspicion on him being brought back to the Chapter.
Well the chaplains job is to be suspicious but as for the captain I think he wasn't a fan of someone he never heard of being put in his command without his say so
@@wintertrooper7918 Captain Acheran's issue is more likely to be that not only has Cato Sicarius, who was captain of 2nd company before Acheran, returned to the Ultramarines in recent years, but also Demetrain Titus who was Captain before Cato. So for Acheran this is kind of a how the hell am I going to keep my job when both my predecessors are still around lol. Now this was "resolved" be making Cato the commander of the Victrix Guard and "demoting" Titus to a Lt.
@@Sauron227 and i doubt Titus will be lieutenant for too long. the only way Acheran keeps his job is if Titus either dies or gets promoted above captain to like a legatus or senior commander or something

Haven't played it, but is there an explaination of why Big Balls Titus is imune to Chaos corruption since the 1st game? Is he maybe an avatar to a possibly returning Emperor?
There is not really an explanation. However at the end we hear a voice saying "rise son of guilliman" that sounds as if spoken next to titus, or in his head, and the subtitles indicate its calgars voice. However, that voice is deeper than calgars, and calgar is shown as walking towards titus from far away and then speaking something else. People speculate that it may be the emperor that is giving titus the power to resist the warp.
@@Kotoy1I really doubt that emperor one because Titus is basically a nobody my thoughts are he's just so damn loyal and faithful to who he is thst he can't be corrupted
@@wintertrooper7918 To be honest its probably just the emperor shielding Titus from the worst of the psychic backlash of the crystal. Shielding a space marine is relatively easier effort than the usual living saint business of evaporating entire demon hordes while glowing like the sun. Best example of empowerment is probably Makari, they aren't empowered in any physical way, but the waagh! ensures they live on.
The - i would die for theses colours- speaks alot to titus character he would rather endure the shame and judgement of being a black shield in the deathwatch been sent on suicide mission after suicide mission rather then let anyone think a ultra marine had been accused of heresy
Idgaf what anyone says. Titus is the realest of the real. After reading about him and his penance. I’d be happy to fight alongside him. I maybe optimistic but that’s my salamander-side
I am bit confused on timeline. They say he was captain 100 years ago. But they also say he was in Deathwatch for almost a century. Wasn't he in inquisition custody stasis for a century and then almost a century in Deathwatch?
Leandros paranoia was justified. This is 40k universe, corruption is everywhere and paranoia is necessary to a point. Titus was exposed to powerful chaos artifacts and had minimal effect in him without explanation. In a universe where primarchs can be corrupted by chaos Why not a normal space marine? I think this measure who prey in one loyal Astarte probably save incontable others from be double cross by agents of Chaos. The love for the character Titus cannot blind to this grimdark situation, he says "I'm loyal and I rather die than be a traitor" who is exactly a traitor will say before blew up his chapter headquarters. I like the Leandro's character it's perfectly fitting the setting.
He was not wrong for suspecting Titus. He was wrong because he reported him to the Inquisition, knowing perfectly well how they handle even just minor rumors of heresy. He should have called the High Command of the Ultramarines instead, so the Chaplains and Librarians would take care of the issue.
The suspicion was correct especially with how flippant Titus was about it, what was wrong was jumping the chain of command… instead of allowing the ultramarines to deal with the issue in house he brought the eye of the inquisition down on the ultramarines, if he had been found guilty the entire second company could have been implicated and culled, if not the whole chapter (especially if the chapter master defended him like he did). Even being innocent Titus had to become a black shield so that the suspicion surrounding him didn’t tarnish the ultramarine’s reputation
@@Swampert919 Man, serving as a Black Shield is an absolute humilliation to Titus. While serving the Deathwatch is one of the highest honours to an Astartes and his chapter, a Black Shield is the complete opposite. The lowest of the low, disposable, and unworthy of his heraldry.
funny enough i think the codex actually says to refer to stuff like this internally rather than having someone external like the inquisition get involved first. So leandros actually went against the codex by turning over titus to the inquisition.
Considering that a Grey Knight aspirant has to be a psyker to begin with, and they have their own specialised gene-seed that has to be implanted in the youth to become Knight...no. Plus he wouldn't be Titus any more - during their implantation, the Knight's mind is completely scrubbed of all memories, and he is given a new name specially crafted to be an anti-daemon weapon.
@@charlessprovieri5981 He could be reinstated as Captain of the 2nd company, or heck be allowed to found he own chapter. I would argue that those are far more honorable that merely becoming a Grey Knight
@@mr.redguard6702 the original plan (by relic) was for titus to found his own company in the third game who knows, they might repurpose those plans eventually
Titus doesn't fit the mold of a Grey Knight, but if he did he'd never be seen by his brothers again. Grey Knights are INCREDIBLY secretive and hidden from the sight of the greater Imperium, like Calgar is likely the only one who knows of their existence in the whole of the Ultramarines, if he even does know that at all. That's right, the Grey Knights are so secretive that the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, a first founding chapter, who has one of two active primarchs in the Imperium and is probably the 2nd most important Chapter Master in existence (behind Dante of the Blood Angels) probably doesn't know they exist officially.
I forgot how self-important these roided-up dudebros were. This is making me want to boot up Dark Crusade and start a Tau campaign just so I can watch the Spehs Mehrines die by the bucketload running into my guns.

@@Sauron227 and i doubt Titus will be lieutenant for too long. the only way Acheran keeps his job is if Titus either dies or gets promoted above captain to like a legatus or senior commander or something
@@Sauron227 apparently from what I read Acheron was a freshly minted Space Marine in the Scout Company when Titus was taken into custody.
@@manhunter433 From scout to Captain of the Second Company in one hundred years. Guy must be some kind of badass
Henry Cavill Glen Powell and Terry Crews
Ted Crews is a joke character.
Other than Glen Powell I agree. There's a better choice for Gadriel than that guy.

After the ending in the prequel, I freaking knew it was gonna be Deathwatch tour for Titus :D spot on
2:06 Does anyone know the track name?
Haven't played it, but is there an explaination of why Big Balls Titus is imune to Chaos corruption since the 1st game?
Is he maybe an avatar to a possibly returning Emperor?
There is not really an explanation. However at the end we hear a voice saying "rise son of guilliman" that sounds as if spoken next to titus, or in his head, and the subtitles indicate its calgars voice. However, that voice is deeper than calgars, and calgar is shown as walking towards titus from far away and then speaking something else. People speculate that it may be the emperor that is giving titus the power to resist the warp.
@@Kotoy1I really doubt that emperor one because Titus is basically a nobody my thoughts are he's just so damn loyal and faithful to who he is thst he can't be corrupted
@@Kotoy1 Maybe its the guy whose gene-seed he inherited when he became a space marine? Marius Gage perhaps?
@@wintertrooper7918 To be honest its probably just the emperor shielding Titus from the worst of the psychic backlash of the crystal. Shielding a space marine is relatively easier effort than the usual living saint business of evaporating entire demon hordes while glowing like the sun.
Best example of empowerment is probably Makari, they aren't empowered in any physical way, but the waagh! ensures they live on.
The - i would die for theses colours- speaks alot to titus character he would rather endure the shame and judgement of being a black shield in the deathwatch been sent on suicide mission after suicide mission rather then let anyone think a ultra marine had been accused of heresy
Considering that he was accused of corruption, 100 years in the Deathwatch as a Blackshield and a demotion is pretty lenient.
I miss Titus' original voice actor
Titus feels and looks like Doomguy. fitting for an Ultramarine
Idgaf what anyone says. Titus is the realest of the real. After reading about him and his penance. I’d be happy to fight alongside him. I maybe optimistic but that’s my salamander-side
01:16 "Corruption" very heavy meaning for imperium
I am bit confused on timeline. They say he was captain 100 years ago. But they also say he was in Deathwatch for almost a century.
Wasn't he in inquisition custody stasis for a century and then almost a century in Deathwatch?
Is it just me, or does Titus have cauliflower ears...?
Where’s horus in this game?
Leandros paranoia was justified. This is 40k universe, corruption is everywhere and paranoia is necessary to a point. Titus was exposed to powerful chaos artifacts and had minimal effect in him without explanation. In a universe where primarchs can be corrupted by chaos Why not a normal space marine? I think this measure who prey in one loyal Astarte probably save incontable others from be double cross by agents of Chaos. The love for the character Titus cannot blind to this grimdark situation, he says "I'm loyal and I rather die than be a traitor" who is exactly a traitor will say before blew up his chapter headquarters. I like the Leandro's character it's perfectly fitting the setting.
He was not wrong for suspecting Titus. He was wrong because he reported him to the Inquisition, knowing perfectly well how they handle even just minor rumors of heresy. He should have called the High Command of the Ultramarines instead, so the Chaplains and Librarians would take care of the issue.
The suspicion was correct especially with how flippant Titus was about it, what was wrong was jumping the chain of command… instead of allowing the ultramarines to deal with the issue in house he brought the eye of the inquisition down on the ultramarines, if he had been found guilty the entire second company could have been implicated and culled, if not the whole chapter (especially if the chapter master defended him like he did). Even being innocent Titus had to become a black shield so that the suspicion surrounding him didn’t tarnish the ultramarine’s reputation
@@Swampert919 Man, serving as a Black Shield is an absolute humilliation to Titus. While serving the Deathwatch is one of the highest honours to an Astartes and his chapter, a Black Shield is the complete opposite. The lowest of the low, disposable, and unworthy of his heraldry.
Your entire comment is unfathomably stupid
funny enough i think the codex actually says to refer to stuff like this internally rather than having someone external like the inquisition get involved first. So leandros actually went against the codex by turning over titus to the inquisition.
Is it just me, or is the voice acting for Titus so incredibly inconsistent, not only between SM1 and SM2, but throughout SM2????
Mark Strong voiced Titus in the first game, while Clive Standen voices him in the second.
@@cristicat5820 Good info, thank you
This game sucks on operations when your fighting a boss you get surrounded by 30 fuckers hitting you at once waste of money
those thirty fuckers can usually be taken out with a few swings of a sword
Anyone else hoping that in space marine 3 Titus has been chosen to serve amongst the grey knights?
Considering that a Grey Knight aspirant has to be a psyker to begin with, and they have their own specialised gene-seed that has to be implanted in the youth to become Knight...no.
Plus he wouldn't be Titus any more - during their implantation, the Knight's mind is completely scrubbed of all memories, and he is given a new name specially crafted to be an anti-daemon weapon.
@@draco84oz I clearly need to read more lore on these guys.
@@charlessprovieri5981 He could be reinstated as Captain of the 2nd company, or heck be allowed to found he own chapter. I would argue that those are far more honorable that merely becoming a Grey Knight
@@mr.redguard6702 the original plan (by relic) was for titus to found his own company in the third game
who knows, they might repurpose those plans eventually
Titus doesn't fit the mold of a Grey Knight, but if he did he'd never be seen by his brothers again. Grey Knights are INCREDIBLY secretive and hidden from the sight of the greater Imperium, like Calgar is likely the only one who knows of their existence in the whole of the Ultramarines, if he even does know that at all. That's right, the Grey Knights are so secretive that the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, a first founding chapter, who has one of two active primarchs in the Imperium and is probably the 2nd most important Chapter Master in existence (behind Dante of the Blood Angels) probably doesn't know they exist officially.
I forgot how self-important these roided-up dudebros were. This is making me want to boot up Dark Crusade and start a Tau campaign just so I can watch the Spehs Mehrines die by the bucketload running into my guns.

With all due respect, this is no appropriate place to share your sermons.
@@muhammadadityarachman8395The gospel is to be spread under every rock and to every people of every nation. Of course its place is here, God’s children walk here
@@XxHeRBMaNxX The Emperor of Mankind burned down churches because of such sermons not appropriate in these matters.
@@XxHeRBMaNxXspamming the same comment repeatedly in a comment section is the laziest and most ineffectual witness that sgb5584 could possibly engage in, and defecates on the actual message by making such a nuisance of it that people will reject it out of hand. Paul wrote about not being a clanging gong in his first letter to the Corinthians. Sgb is doing exactly what he was saying - speaking the tongues of men without love and compassion (as evidenced by the multiple attempts to drop the message into the chat uninvited and out of context for the subject at hand), and becoming a noisy gong or clattering cymbal.
