The Lore of Lieutenant Titus | Why is he Resistant to the Warp? | Space Marine 2 Warhammer Lore

[@SandmanofTerra]

Just to update, Titus has now been confirmed to have served in the Deathwatch after Graia! This information hadn't been released at the time of this stream, but a very cool update I thought I'd add here. I'll have to do a video updating him

[@ryanedwards7487]

I never HATED Leandros. However, Titus being subjected to the Inquisition and being demoted because he brought a doddering neophyte as a battle brother is enough reason to hit Leandros across the face so hard Roboute feels it and goes: that was warranted.

[@mrbreck1]

Gideon ravenor wrote an in universe book about defying chaos. It was called "The Armor of Contempt" and his thesis was willpower and contempt for chaos itself could shield one from its effects. When colonel commisar gaunt was tried for chaos taint after returning from the ez mission to gereon he stated that philosphy in his successful defense.

This isn’t actually far from the truth. Titus was glowing golden with his confrontation with Nemeroth. It would also make sense that the God Emperor personally intervened to hunt down and bring upon his wrath towards the traitor space marine. He could still be a weak blank however Titus was punching the absolute shit out of someone definitely stronger than him it would also make sense the emperor was there powering him up.

checks out for wibly wobly warp BS

[@ryanedwards7487]

He broke thru Nemeroth's power with barely any difficulty. The other two had no chance. I don't think he's a Null, but it wouldn't surprise me if he has some small touch of psychic power, deriving directly from his fervent, fanatical desire to protect Ultramar and the Imperium at large. It would be similar to the Black Templar's worship of the Emperor. That fanatic devotion to his duty to protect mankind could manifest as resistance to the taint of Chaos. It's also entirely possible that it's a benevolent denizen of the warp -- like he's Justice from Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening. The Warp is similar to the Fade in the Dragon Age mythos. Denizens of the Warp representing good emotions DO exist or could easily manifest with the sheer amount of valiance the Eldar, Tau, armies of the Imperium, Interex, etc. show on a perpetual basis. Heck, several Eldar Gods still exist or have a continuing presence in the warp, regardless of Slaneesh devouring them. It's entirely possible a warp entity representing the duty of the Space Marines, or that desire they have to protect mankind.

[@crocidile90]

Well those presences are shards of what's left of the Eldar gods (mainly Khaine) after slanneesh broke them and vore'd most of them with Khaine and chegorach being the big 2 with yilvaine(of how ever its spelt) being a semi-3rd as she was more a reconstituted god than the previous examples.

[@CainEverest]

As someone who is currently playing through Inquisition again, this theory definitely holds its weight

[@dean_l33]

There's also the bit about the two lost legion whose sons were integrated into G-man and Dorn legion after their Primarch gone AWOL

[@gpheonix1]

it would be interesting if he unlocks his psychic powers in the game. Providing us new powers to play with in the game.

[@TacticalReaper56]

Didnt GW confirm that Sister have A sortta Faith power. I frankly run the belief that Supernatural more or less describe in one of their episodes." If theres enough belief behind it, it can manifest" i think this would be the best route. Instead of trying to make Titus a Huge deal, even tho he should be, make it so his faith was so strong it could withstand the warp.

[@Valium762]

The original Space Marine is what got me interested in 40k; and for years I, along with everyone else, thought we'd never get a sequel. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw Titus' face at the end of the reveal trailer. I hope Space Marine 2 will do the same for others what the first game did for me so many years ago.

[@wintertrooper7918]

Why? How?

[@RT42-v6z]

​@wintertrooper7918 Classic projection, he is so convinced of Titus' corruption, despite knowing that many within the Imperium touch the warp. Leandros violated the codex by not going to the chaplain. Then when Titus spends 100 years in penance, the inquisition cleared him, acknowledge that length of his penance would invite shame on the Inquisition for not acknowledging Titus' innocence sooner, but no Leandros is still convinced Titus is corrupted. That fervent belief makes a think in the armor of Leandros psyche.

[@Lord-Skeletor]

@@RT42-v6z (Spoilers) Leandros stands up for Titus during the confrontation in the astropath place though. He also recommends him for a mission with Calgar. I actually think Leandros feels bad for what he did to Titus and wants to stay near him to watch his back as a sort of atonement.

As for Space Marine ending: I find it more believable that Titus is a heretic than I found the fact that Black Templars of all Chapters serve as Inquisitorial bodyguards. You know, the one Chapter that has 6 to 9k battle brothers and are at cold war with the Inquisition due to Chapter size and Celestial Lions.

[@CainEverest]

I think they were supposed to be Deathwatch but they couldn't make the models in time

[@nytecrow6452]

Inquisition constantly will use things they don't agree with. How many times has the Inquisition used Xenos for victory? Black Templars are under scrutiny by the Inquisition but not because of their Loyalty, merely because they fear another Horus Heresy if the Templars were corrupted.

[@MorteWulfe]

@@CainEverest I remember they had the Deathwatch pauldron as I used it for my multiplayer model. I easily made a Deathwatch character using the character creator. I too though that they were supposed to be Deathwatch though as it would have made sense for an Inquisitor from the Ordos Xenos to be overseeing a battle against orks.

[@CrimsonAngel91]

They was ment to be deathwatch, templars don't deal much with the inquisitors due to them having psykers and templars hate them, as for being a heretic not really with him being able to hold off the warp as loyalists do have librarians who are psykers, alot can hold against the warp as well if they will to the emperor is greatly strong

[@nytecrow6452]

@@CrimsonAngel91 Incorrect. Black Templars hold sanctioned Librarians and Psykers in respect and have no qualms about working with other Chapter's Librarians(There was an example of them working with them in one of the books that I recall and I'm pretty sure their Codex has an exerpt about it. However, that being said, they are the first ones to put down even a hint of mutation or heresy from those Sanctioned Psykers. So it's actually more dangerous to be around them than to look behind you with a Commissar at your side (And he thinks you are about to retreat).

[@v02max75]

I find myself wondering about the "dark" power that protects Titus. Does that mean dark as in "the dark gods" or does it mean dark as in "unseen"? Because it could be that an unseen/dark power(the emperor) is the one protecting him, for whatever reason. It calls to my mind about the scene where the Lion meets the old man by the river.

[@Slime_Goblin]

I think it’s more of an “unseen” thing. I think a good example to support that theory is when they portrayed Corvus Corax’s new raven form which is very “daemon like” and implied to be a manifestation of how someone can use the power of the warp in a way that doesn’t support the chaos gods. Like since primarchs are part of the warp themselves, most likely, they can harness that to channel the strength and protection of the warp in a more direct way. None of this is outright confirmed but that’s what seems like the most likely scenario to explain all of the angles.

[@jeffreymayo550]

I believe it's just his unbreakable will and convictions to his primarch and bros

[@andrewchell2514]

One option not explorded here, and I think it's an interesting one is that Titus is not an Ultramarine, his geneseed is either of the 2nd or 11th legion. We know nothing about these legions only that when they were expunged the Ultramarines grew in ranks considerably making them the largest legion by far. If the ranks of the 2nd and 11th were added in then it is possible Titus descends from on of these Legions and that resistance to the warp is something that Legion had

[@epicassassin8502]

I believe that the death guard were inherently warp resistant and tougher than most marines could be that

[@rayquevedo2356]

I believe somewhere it said that their gene seeds were swapped for the ultra Marines and blood Angels which led to them being the biggest for a while

[@jtfbreedlove]

If Titus is a blank his AOE would be miniscule(less than a foot?), which is technically possible(I think) & his blankness seems to on the weak side as he *was* affected by Nemeroth's "warp bind" during his intro cutscene, just not as much as Leandros & Sidonus. SM1's ending seemed a natural lead-in to a Deathwatch based game that might let you make your own Astartes from almost any chapter.

[@infrasound]

they would know if he was a blank, most common people can't be anywhere near the, Jurgen is the one exception.

[@crocidile90]

​@@infrasoundwell Jurgen doesn't do basic hygiene so how much is the bad smell really attributed to his "blank-ness" and not just him refusing to shower (probably a mix of both and Ciaphis not wanting Ms. Vale's psycher looking into his mind).

[@McGillus]

@@infrasound Jurgen creates a physical embodiment of the blank's repellent. People don't get nearly as agitated because they can point out a reason, the smell. I think the fact people can't figure out why they get agitated by some people (blanks) is a giant reason why they get the hate. Psychic inquisitors work with them and treat them normal because they know where this agitation comes from. Since Jurgen's blankness is secret the smell suffices as answer enough. If the existence of blanks was common knowledge in the Imperium, their lives wouldn't be so crap.

[@jakerooke174]

If that was a thing I’d make a lamenter so the dreadnaught isn’t alone anymore

[@drag0nmancer]

@@McGillus Actually blanks are treated like shit in the imperium because they screw with regular people on a large scale. often times with whole hordes of citizens dragging blanks to the starport when Black Ships arrive for tithes of psykers and blanks. there are many anecdotes in the lore that blanks are often times killed by their fellow man because the negative presence they have (which is generally associated with more powerful pariah) drive people crazy. When travelling the warp, any pariahs have to be as far away from any psykers (particularly the ships astropaths) because the blanks can screw with their ability to navigate or even block them from being able to see the Astronomicon when traveling the warp.

[@goodcobra2597]

Since there is a trailer with a message saying "you have been chosen to walk the 9 ways" tzseench could be interested in Titus's resistance to the warp.

[@SenisterDenister]

He could like Zael Efferneti from the Ravenor series. A psychic mirror, he uses warpstuff around him but cannot channel it himself. A mirror, making him immune to corruption since he uses the abilities of others. That kid became a Grey Knight. Titus, since he is a passive psyker, would have completely been ignored by the Librarius and would have been thought to be a normal man unless people attack him with warp powers. I always thought that.

[@CainEverest]

That makes a ton of sense actually

[@ShadowKing59-q1v]

That may sound crazy, but it does make sense Mirror is a opposite of a Blank 1. Hard to detect by the more psychic of individuals. 2. Complete immunity to corruption without harm. 3. Even rarer than a Blank.

[@BanishedSilentShadow3318]

[22:00] Kinda ironic that Leandros who goes on about "this goes against the codex" has pretty much broken that rule. If it were me, i would've just said "you know Leandros it sounds like the emperor himself has given his blessing or gave him protection against the warp"

[@17mindgate]

@Sandman of Terra I actually have a theory regarding Captain/ Lieutenant Titus' resistance to the warp... It actually consists of a failed possession attempt during the mission against the chaos Sorceror that killed the rest of his squad. It's possible that the Sorceror attempted to Possess the Squad turning them into demonhosts and in the heat of Battle was unaware that this had been attempted and/ or killed the sorceror prior to the completion of the ritual... or it was a success, and he unknowingly expelled the Demon. Think the Exorcist chapter but accidentally. It produces the same results and could be the source of the perceived "taint."

[@SandmanofTerra]

That's a cool theory. I could see it working

[@jfrost1260]

Is he really all that more resistant than other Marines? That whole thing just felt like they needed some kinda complexity to the plot so they threw in the Inquisition being dicks because that’s a reliable trope.

[@jeffreywiggins3502]

He is absolutely more resistant than other Ultramarines, specifically. Compared with a group like the Grey Knights, no, not at all, but for those who share his Gene Seed, he is astonishingly resistant.

[@moderndavinci6599]

Well he pushed back against psychic powers where his peers failed, and fell into an entire vortex of it, he's prolly a... smidgen more resistant. Also in defense of the Inquisitor, they're just doing there job! And that job is being an asshole.

[@samuelyoung1]

if he had grey knight geneseed or was an astartes made from a hidden legiones caetagis then absolutely not. any other geneseed? fucking absolutely!

[@drag0nmancer]

Just look at the intro cinematic to Dawn of War 2, Eldar Farseer just smites the shit out of a bunch of Blood Ravens without stopping her attempts to cast a spell. Meanwhile Titus just fucking walks through warp force powers, Shrugs off attacks from Ork Weird Boys and CAN GET INTO A FIST FIGHT WITH A DAEMON PRINCE that is bathed in chaos energy, All without any corruption or issue. The only other space marines who can do that are either Librarians or Grey Knights. The ability for Titus to resist all the warp energy slung at him just from the first Space Marine game is exceedingly remarkable, which is why its such a big deal to everyone. The last time we had a named character that was a blank was Macabee in Dawn of War 1, when Necrons would harvest human populations and turn any blanks they found into Necron Pariahs that were specialized in fighting psykers like Eldar Farseers, Chaos Sorcerers and the like. Necron Pariah were retconned when they did massive retcons to the necrons in 5th edition, but Macabee is still remembered.

[@FatalFist]

@@drag0nmancer I think it will have to do either with the Emperor of Man or Primarch Gil being closely linked to Titus. In nordic myths, names represent power so giving something a name imbues it with strength (blessing it). That could be part of what makes Titus so powerful too.

The problem with the pariah gene arguement is it would have been found out as an aspirant by the chaplains/librarians.

In all honesty, Leandros will become a heretic in the end. Since we know how Warhammer 40k tend to plot heretic agents this way. Remember the trope of the hidden antagonist as always near the main character.

Haha 1:52 is so accurate to me I just got into warhammer and I’m listening to all these lore videos in the back while I max out my characters in operations mode

[@jamessparks7331]

You call him whatever kinda tenant you want to buddy it's your channel.

[@ChopperMeir]

Exactly this, perfectly put.

[@herbertvonbismarck8303]

seeing that titus is resistant to the warp, my guess is that he’s a blank of sorts. Thought it wouldn’t make sense since everyone else would’ve be repulsive of him

[@joshuabuddo2803]

Your on the right track, there are two types of blanks, the ones your thinking of are the extreme variant, but there is a weaker category that can be tolerated which Titus may fall under

[@PlayNiceFolks]

I love how we talk of getting new people into 40k as if we're some kind of cult or something. Well.

[@SandmanofTerra]

If the ceramite shoe fits

[@egziverpendlebury2431]

We are not a cult. NOW CHANT YOUR BATTLE CRY!

[@mattbob6637]

Look what getting new people involved did to Star Wars and Star Trek

[@ghost_1153]

Space marine 2 final cutscenes... What a twist!

[@thedevourer.]

Ultramarines and imperial fists were the 2 biggest after absorbing the remnants or the 2nd and 11th legions

[@thedevourer.]

He can't be a blank, they cant be made into space marines. It was tried amd doesn't work due to the warp fkery going on with the gene seed. Same goes for custodes having psyker powers it can't happen.

[@CynicalOptimist99]

I thought it was the Dark Angels who remained around 2nd largest, where once they were the largest, prior to the Rangdan Xenocides

[@thedevourer.]

@@CynicalOptimist99 that was pretty early on during the Crusade around the same time the 2nd and 11th became "the forgotten and the purged "

[@opinionpaladin6007]

Honestly, Rogue Trader got me into Warhammer. I just picked up Space Marine 2 this week as well. Very cool game

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

40k has had 2 or 3 good games in the last few years.

[@saeyabor]

For final _launch preparation_ I was slogging thru Nemeroth's minion-gauntlet on Hard while listening to this. Now I'm pretty much double-exposed to wanting to slap Leandros.

[@myself2noone]

The lieutenant thing is fine. Despite what a lot of British people will say, there is no wrong way to speak a language. Nine times out of ten the "American way" is more historical, but that really doesn't matter. Language changes.

[@joshydarroch]

The irony in saying 'the American way is more historical' is palpable and doesn't even make sense. Historically speaking your from a country that's a baby compared to Britain and the rest of world, something like barely 230 years old. Before that, there was no 'American way' in existence unless we're talking tribal peoples 😂 . Only ours and the rest of the world's. Besides dunno where you came up with that tidbit about language but typically if you try speak to someone in their native language, and they cannot understand you then yes - you are in fact speaking a language wrong 😂 Not that complex.

@@thiscityisreallylookslikea8340 Correct, this dude really came out talking out of his ass xD , I don't even agree with the whole 'left-tenant' pronunciation personally.

[@FatalFist]

As someone who loved the first game, I REALLY DO hope they cover the first games story.

[@tartusmaximus179]

Im new when it comes to 40k but Is Titus like a grey knight in some way like standing up against chaos ain't easy and coming out unaffected is something else

[@DocDeeISC]

That Inquisitor Thrax is the same one that kept Marines in stasis to periodically torture them, and actually became possessed by a daemon. Titus now appears to bear an Inquisition logo on his vambrace as well, likely a reference to a stint as a Deathwatch Blackshield.

[@martinstary8442]

One posibile explanation also can be that: With his rank and warrior wisdom to anchive his rank, he gain enought of strong will to withstand warp influence for some time and in game been enpowered by "ORC BELIEVE IN BLUE" as also after they watch him killing them by hundreds, he could be given some sort of status by ocks on planet like comander yaric posible have on armagedon.

[@AgentsofRush]

I remember the first one was a suprise hit to many people. I think it came out around the time of a Gears of War title did and an interview with one of the guys that made Space Marine said they wouldn't be making a second sadly because sales, although good were not enough. But here we are and how stoked are we. Soundtrack to the first was amazing too.

[@anodyne-4736]

30:55 After the final battle, I believe this as the voice that was speaking directly to Titus was likely the Emperor as Calgar addressed him differently both voice and station when they got out the Warp. Titus is likely a new work in progress for the Emperor as the battles this day forward will change as Girlyman might appear in the third game or possibly sequel campaign

[@oldeskul]

Another possibility is that he has a very strong will.

[@Chris313AllNight]

The part where you mention the difference between "leftenant" and "Lieutenant" had me in stitches! Comedy Gold! I'm American and I'm from the South, so I know about words and how people say stuff. But aside from your disclaimer, my watching this video got me into Space Marine 1 and I bought it off of GOG because of your video. Thanks for the lore bit.

[@micho_3715]

I never realized I was into 40k after playing the OG space marine game until years later. I played and thought the game was awesome but never knew 40k was this huge universe. The space marines and all the brutal gore fascinated my 12 year old brain. It was until a year ago when I got into warhammer that I made the space marine connection. Such an amazing universe and I'm so hyped for the sequel.

[@mitchellbarlow4553]

Loved the whole video. As an American I had to rewind and listen to the leftenant bit. Loved it

[@txpoontappa1349]

Space marine and deathwing were the main reason I got into war hammer 40k great video

[@peacechan4500]

Imagine after the thing he been through. Titus being off handed that R G is alive and well again. Dang thats must have stings

[@penyata]

One thing to note is at the end of Space Marine 1 you see Leandros is the only one to look away from Titus as the doors close, the other Ultramarines know Titus was correct

[@olmage0799]

Should we tell him about the chaplin in space marine 2?

[@km55111]

just saw theradbrad paly this game and fell in love with everything i saw tbh- now im on a deep rabit hole on lore for the last few days .. i preordede so will be palying it today for first time!

[@russellwarren9595]

i like how at the end of Space Marine, when the Inquisitor and Black Templers take him away Titus is allowed to keep his weapon. Kinda shows that they dont really think he is tainted.

[@MaximusVergil]

Hope leandros gets a humiliation appearance and maybe learned and grew. And titus resisted the warp through sheer will because hes awesome

[@Warmaster2001]

Or Leandros turned traitor.

[@milkydude3100]

The absolute set on that guardswoman for telling titus to ignore the inquisitor

[@Teyl1]

To be fair we have had remarkably less time in Guilliman's head, even across the plague war trilogy then the lion got in his one book.

[@clawsewitz4316]

If they re- released Spacehulk, exactly as it looked on Panasonic 3do, I would pay any price for it.

[@xTraexEdge]

This is actually really interesting. Gonna grab a copy of Space Marine 1 and jump into this.

[@lioncross1849]

I think that the emperor is protecting him.

[@ardaarsen]

Rise, sonnn of glu glu

[@judyfps5059]

SM2 is the only game I’ve been excited for in half a decade

[@philippecharitat467]

I wonder if an echo of the "Dark King' remains floating around in the warp even though the Emperor is entombed and still 'alive'.

[@Rozamate]

Loved this, left the room and came back to the alpha legion being discussed, of course they are in the mix

[@johnmartin8733]

Black Myth Wukong will hold me over until Space Marine 2. I love it when things just fall in place like this lol.

[@dclangst]

I need Guilliman to reinstate Titus to Captain rank. The rest of the squad probably jumped Leandros’ ass.

[@LazzarrusLong]
