For those unfamiliar, here’s a quick rundown of the series's protagonist Lieutenant Titus who you’ll be playing in Space Marine 2.

Titus was born on the Agri-World of Tarentus in Ultramar. He was recruited by the Chapter and passed initial training and joined the Ultramarines, Titus has served the imperium for more than 150 years in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Combat was as natural as breathing, and his spirit soared knowing that he was fighting a holy battle against the enemies of the Imperium.

In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 1, Captain Titus and a company of Ultramarines are sent to the Forge World of Graia to stop an Ork invasion. However, the imperial weapon, the Pyschic Scourge was used to initiate a massive Chaos invasion on Graia, led by Nemeroth. Titus eventually slaughtered Nemeroth and destroyed the Power Source to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

This victory revealed Titus’ unprecedented resistance to the corruption of Chaos. This raised suspicions among the Inquisition, who decided to detain him for closer investigation. After decades of interrogation, Titus’ guilt was never established, and he served in the renowned Deathwatch to find redemption and prove his loyalty under the watchful eye of the Inquisition. He is now reunited with his original chapter, the Ultramarines, and reinstated as a Lieutenant.
