Characters

Characters are the leaders of the squads, and perform special tasks not suited to normal soldiers. It is the leadership and skill of the characters that teach and motivate the squads to victory. While the ranks of the squads are necessary to form the Chapter, individual characters can make a significant difference on the battlefield, often having a greater impact on the battle than an entire squad.

Each company is led by a Captain, and has a Chaplain and Apothecary. The Techmarines and their servitors are not part of the companies, and have their own section in the Chapter's organization, along with the master of the Chapter, Librarians, senior officers, administrative staff, and support personnel. Normal humans often fill the roles of non-combat positions within the upper echelons of the organization, no Space Marine would be comfortable being away from battle for too long.
