==Treachery==
In [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution]], it was revealed by [[Tarkus]] that it was Avitus who had betrayed his battle-brothers to the Black legion. [[Tarkus]] "slew him." <sup>3</sup>(see notes)
==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.<sup>2</sup>
==Notes==
In [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution]] [[Tarkus]] states that the traitor was one he fought alongside with at Kronos, and that they became regular friends during the Tyranid Invasion on sub-sector Aurelia. Now, it is impossible for [[Tarkus]], [[Cyrus]], [[Martellus]], [[Jonah Orion]] to be the traitor, as all are present in said game, fighting alongside Gabriel Angelos and Apollo Diomedes. This leaves [[Thaddeus Blood Ravens|Thaddeus]] and Avitus. But as far as we know, Thaddeus did not participate in the Kronos campaign, plus he is not part of the group if you start a new campaign in Chaos Rising without importing your previous save file from [[Dawn of War II]], as all commanders who died in the final mission of an imported save file are. This leads us to concluding that only Avitus could have been the traitor.
