A Space Marine Captain typically commands an entire company of his battle brothers (a theoretical maximum of 100 Marines). This is a prestigious rank and often the Captain of the First Company is also the Chapter Master.
The Company commander may have other Chapter responsibilities (and correspondingly, an additional title) besides his role as Captain, usually responsible for an area of Chapter logistics.
Within a chapter the Captain is sometimes referred to as "Brother-Captain" in recognition of the fact that all Marines within the chapter are brethren. Within the Grey Knights "Brother-Captain" is used as an official title representing a slightly different rank.
Additionally, the commander of a Space Marine Company's Battle Barge may be referred to as 'Captain' aboard his vessel, regardless of his regular rank.
| A Captain leads from the front. By his example shall his men know what it is to be of the Adeptus Astartes, and from his teachings shall they learn the trade of battle in the Emperor's name.
No ordinary man can a Captain be, for many are the paths to victory and he must be master of them all. His very being shall be an extension of the Emperor's work. With every strike of his sword, with every word of his speech, does he reaffirm the ideals of our honoured master. He will vanquish darkness and heresy with every thought, word, and deed. So shall his coming be a sign of deliverance to the dutiful, and a herald of dismay to all traitors. No living man shall stay his wrath. |
