A '''Chapter Master''' is the foremost leader of a [[Chapter]] of [[Space MarineMarines]]s. He is assisted in his position of leadership by the Chief [[Librarian]] and [[Chaplain]] in most cases. A Chapter Master possesses centuries of battle experience and is invariably highly skilled in tactics, leadership and all kinds of combat.
The Chapter Master is responsible for maintaining the traditions of the Chapter. He is often the [[planetary governor]] of the Chapter's [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]], giving him further responsibility.
The title "Chapter Master" is not consistent throughout the Adeptus Astartes and less standard Chapters use different titles to denote the Chapter's leader. The most notable titles are: "Supreme Grand Master" (Dark Angels), "Grand Master" (various Chapters), "Great Wolf" (Space Wolves), and "High Marshal" (Black Templars).
There are several famous Chapter Masters within the [[Imperium]]; a useful resource, for their experience and battle prowess can change the course of a battle within the howling battles of the 41st Millenium:
*[[Marneus Calgar]], Chapter Master, [[Ultramarines]]
*[[Tu'Shan]], Master of the Fire Drakes, [[Salamanders]]
*[[DantéDante]], Chapter Master, [[Blood Angels]]
