[[Image:Avitus.jpg|thumb|right|Devastator Sergeant Avitus]]
'''Avitus''' is a [[Devastator Marine]] Sergeant in the [[Blood Ravens]] 4th Company. He fought alongside Captain [[Davian Thule]] in the [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]], and distinguished himself during the assault on the [[Imperial Guard]] stronghold [[Kronus|Victory Bay]]. It was also to in this battle that Avitus lost many of his squadmates, which forever changed Avitus and prompted his vision of [[Guardsmen]] as traitors and weaklings. He is renowned for his unmatched hatred for the enemy, which many regard as his greatest weapon.
In [[Dawn of War II]], Avitus once again serves alongside Captain [[Davian Thule]] in his defence of the [[Aurelia]] [[Sector]].
Avitus grew up in a small settlement on Typhon that was terrorized by a corrupt regiment of the Imperial Guard. The settlement was extorted to near starvation by unofficial taxes and penalties, and often served as a target of the Guardsmen's wanton cruelty.
Avitus's hatred spiked to new heights during the battle of Victory Bay on Kronus. Cracking the Guardsmen's Guardsmens` defenses was a savage and bloody affair, which cost the lives of two of Avitus's squad matessquadmates.
Avitus has since seen Guardsmen as traitors and weaklings.
==Equipment==
Avitus wields a Astartes MK IVc-pattern [[Heavy Bolter]] in battle, which can be later upgraded to a [[Plasma Cannon]] or [[Missile Launcher]]. In Chaos Rising Avitus can wield Lascannons.
