The Force Commander is the leader of the [[Blood Ravens]] strike team in''[[ Dawn of War 2II]] '' and ''Chaos Rising''. <sup>1</sup><sup>2</sup><sup>3</sup><sup>4</sup>
As the player character, the Force Commander has no official name, and he does not speak in Single Player mode, even though the Force Commander voice in Multiplayer has specific lines written for the Single Player mode.<sup>1</sup>
In the [[''Dawn of War 2]] II'' 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]] II'' 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 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]] II'' 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>
In ''Chaos Rising'', the Commander battles a [[Black Legion]] army under the command of Araghast the Pillager.
If the player remains loyal to the [[Emperor]], [[Techmarine]] [[Martellus]] will betray him as the traitor.
After defeating the [[Great Unclean One]] Ulkair, Gabriel Angelos promotes the Force Commander to the [[Captain]] of the 4th Company.<sup>2</sup>
The Commander wields a [[Chainsword]] and [[Bolt Pistol]] as default, but later he gains access to Power Swords, [[Power Fists]], Power Axes, Thunder Hammers and [[Plasma Pistols]].<sup>1</sup>
In ''Chaos Rising '' he can wield [[Lightning Claws]].<sup>2</sup>
It is possible for him to train in the use of [[Plasma Guns]], [[Bolters]], [[Flamers]] <sup>1</sup> and in Chaos Rising, [[Meltaguns]]<sup>2</sup>.
