Over time, they may transform into Wulfen. **Blood Angels**: Tragic champions possessing artistic souls and a 'Red Thirst' that explodes in rage.

Space Marines are also called Adeptus Astartes, or Astartes for short. **Chaplain**: Military chaplains/spiritual leaders. **Librarian**: The Chapter's psychic users. **Techmarine**: Those trained in the teachings of the Adeptus Mechanicus. **Lieutenant**: A junior officer/adjutant.
A member from the White Scars. Rough and direct, he possesses a philosophical side beneath his simplicity. He prefers high-speed warfare, and his favored wargear includes a Chainsword and an Inferno Pistol. In the Kill Team, he primarily takes on roles utilizing bike mobility. He views Xenos as prey and quarry, constantly tracking them to strike them down. He joined the Deathwatch because his obsession with the hunt became excessive even by his Chapter's standards. He has yellow-toned skin and black hair in a topknot. "Do you hear the engine's scream? The wind is on our side tonight. Cast complex plans behind the sun; we strike straight into the enemy's heart." His homeworld is Chogoris, a land of vast steppes. He is called Altakh.
A member from the Blood Angels who is gentle and has an interest in sculpting. He prefers safe operations and cherishes the citizens of the Imperium above all. His favored wargear is a Power Axe and a Heavy Bolt Pistol. He harbors an especially intense hatred for Tyranids. He volunteered for the Deathwatch after his entire squad, except for himself, was slaughtered during a Tyranid invasion of the Blood Angels' homeworld. His face features pale skin, blonde hair, and red eyes. In the Kill Team, he primarily utilizes jump pack mobility and assault capabilities. "Brother, the shadow in your eyes hangs heavy. But fear not. Though the path we walk be stained with blood, the light of the Great Angel shall greet us at its end." His homeworld is Baal, a desert world. He is called Ascaron.
A member from the Space Wolves. While appearing jovial and barbaric on the surface, he is internally very intelligent and calm. He shows this side to no one and enjoys charges and close-quarters combat. His favored wargear includes an Occulus Bolt Carbine, a Bolt Pistol, and a Combat Knife. He joined the Deathwatch because while he was inexperienced against Chaos, he showed overwhelming skill in anti-Xenos warfare. He has a braided orange beard, rough orange hair, and blue eyes. He wears Phobos armor, a lightweight variant. In the Kill Team, he handles roles such as infiltration, sudden frontal assaults, or ambushes utilizing the Phobos armor and Grapnel Launcher. He is hearty toward his brothers. "Hah! Brother! Today's hunt is wonderfully bloody!" His homeworld is Fenris, a world of perpetual sub-zero snowfields. Space Wolves are even more obsessed with honor and heroic sagas than other Space Marine brothers. He is called Sigurd.
A member from the Salamanders. Kind and benevolent—but only to Imperial citizens and his comrades. He shows overwhelming rage and hatred toward heretics and engages in operations more actively than anyone. He wears Gravis armor, a heavy variant. His favored wargear is a Heavy Flamer and an Inferno Pistol. He has pitch-black skin, red eyes, and a serpent-like tongue. He was recommended for the Deathwatch due to his significant skills as a blacksmith and his fire support techniques. He is mild-mannered. His primary role in the Kill Team is fire support. "Do not be afraid, Brother. We shall be your shield." His homeworld is Nocturne, a land filled with lava and volcanoes. He is called Sylvan.

THE DEATHWATCH.
This is the Watch Fortress.
Faint light leaks through the cold metal walls of the Watch Fortress cathedral. Five Space Marines stand in formation, kneeling before the altar, as Zestion looks down upon them dressed in the formal vestments of the Ultramarines.
Zestion's voice is calm, yet its weight echoes as if pressing down upon the entire cathedral. Though their Chapters of origin and personalities differ greatly, in this moment, all five keep their heads bowed, listening intently to the Watch Master's words.
