== History ==
It was customary for the [[Ultramarines]] to develop "theoreticals" for both personal and tactical combat, against all manner of [[xenos]] or human foes. Thiel, however, was marked for censure by his superiors for theorizing combats between [[Space Marines]]. His superiors felt that this scenario was both impossible and bordering on treasonous, but Thiel defended his reasoning, saying that Space Marines were the galaxy's most formidable warriors, and it was good sense to analyze their strengths and weaknesses as thoroughly as any other opponents'.
Thiel's superiors were not convinced, and he was sent to the flagship ''[[Macragge's Honour]]'' to be rebuked by [[Chapter Master]] [[Marius Gage]], and possibly by [[Primarch]] [[Guilliman]] himself. While waiting for his superiors, he decided he was already in as much trouble as he could be, and spent his time practicing with the exotic melee weapons from Guilliman's private collection.
Thiel was later one of the party of fifty Ultramarines who accompanied Guilliman aboard the orbital weapons platform occupied by [[Kor Phaeron]] and his elite guard. Thiel fought bravely, but was unable to prevent Kor Phaeron escaping.
