As the player character, the Force Commander has no official name, and he does not speak in Single Player mode, even tough the Force Commander voice in Multiplayer has specific lines written for the Single Player mode.<sup>1</sup>
In the [[Dawn of War 2]] novel by Chris Robertson, the Force Commander is named Aramus of the Fifth Company (page 8, Prologue), and he is a native noble of the planet [[Meridian]] (page 47, Chapter Two), and was recruited at the same time as Thaddeus. <sup>5</sup>Aramus earned his promotion fighting the [[Tyranids]] on Prosperon (page 8, Prologue) to protect a sacred scroll from falling into the hands of the xenos.<sup>5</sup>
It is not known for sure if Aramus is the Force Commander since most of the information in the novel conflicts with information given by Relic Entertainment in the [[Dawn of War 2]] and Chaos Rising games. <sup>1</sup> <sup>2</sup> <sup>5</sup>
Perhaps Aramus's background have been simply changed, or the FC is another marine not connected to Aramus.
Since [[Thaddeus]] is notedly the only [[Blood Raven]] to come from [[Meridian]] in 700 years<sup>1</sup><sup>2</sup>, it is unlikely that the Commander is a native of [[Meridian]]<sup>5</sup> (page47, Chapter two).
In the [[Dawn of War 2]] game, the Commander and his companions are awarded the title "Heroes of Typhon" after the final battle against the [[Tyranids]] on that world.<sup>2</sup> <sup>3</sup>
