[[Image:Avitus.jpg|thumb|right|Devastator Sergeant Avitus]]
'''Avitus''' is a [[Devastator ]] [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] in the [[Blood Ravens]] 4th Company. He is renowned for his unmatched hatred for the enemy, which many regard as his greatest weapon.{{Fn|1}}
== History ==
==Equipment==
Avitus wields a an 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 also wield Lascannonsa [[Lascannon]].<sup>{{Fn|2</sup>}}
==Canon Ambiguities==
In [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: - Chaos Rising]], one of the five primary supporting characters - Sergeants [[Tarkus]], Avitus, [[Cyrus]], or [[Thaddeus (Blood Ravens)|Thaddeus]], or [[Librarian]] [[Jonah Orion]], may turn out to be the traitor feeding information to the Black Legion, depending on the player's handling of the single-player campaign, and the allocation of "corruption" among these characters. If these characters reach the crucial point in the campaign with equal levels of corruption, the traitor is identified as [[Techmarine]] [[Martellus]].
In [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution]], Tarkus states that the traitor was one he fought alongside at Kronus, and that they became regular friends during the Tyranid invasion.{{Fn|3}} This "official" traitor is never named, but this description seems to narrow the possibilities to Cyrus, Avitus, Thaddeus, or Martellus, but of these four, only Avitus definitely participated in the Kronus campaign.{{Fn|1}}
