Clausel has fought alongside several leaders of the company, including [[Idaeus]], [[Uriel Ventris]] and [[Learchus Abantes]]. A straightforward and violent man, he is prone to headlong charges and is often depicted graphically cutting enemies in two with his [[Crozius Arcanum]].{{Cite this}}

Clausel cares little for talk, and has reprimanded members of the [[ecclesiarchy]] for discussing theology during meetings{{Fn|3a}}, and threatened planetary governors when they are slow to act{{Fn|3b}}. Uriel captain of the fourth stated "Chaplain Clausel speaks bluntly, but he is right to do so."{{Fn|3a}}

Clausel was one of the most ruthless instructor sergeants at the [[Agilesus Barracks]] on [[Macragge]] (whether he was already a chaplain at this time is unknown). Among the [[Aspirant]]s under his charge were the young Uriel Ventris, his best friend [[Pasanius Lysane]], and Learchus. All three of them heartily detested Clausel as a drillmaster, though they would become respected equals decades later.{{Fn|4}}

After the Company's decimation by the [[Tyranid]]s, Clausel assisted Acting-Captain Learchus and [[Apothecary]] [[Selenus]] in selecting new [[Aspirant]]s to rebuild its numbers. As unyielding as he had been as a drill sergeant, Clausel insisted on maintaining the Company's high standards.{{Cite this}}

Clausel also accompanied Learchus and the 4th Company to [[Espandor]], defending against an [[Ork]] [[Waaagh!]]. In particular, he led a crack squad of [[Assault Marines]] on a [[Jump pack]] assault on the Orks' [[Gargant]], and together he and Learchus killed the Orks' [[Warboss]]. After the invasion, in a rare mood of congratulation, he told Learchus that he had earned his captaincy beyond all doubt.{{Fn|2}}

Chaplain Clausel wears the black armour of a chaplain. His skull helm is completely white with no notable technology visible save for the pipes either side of his jaws. He is armed with frag and krak grenades, a [[Rosarius]], [[Crozius Arcanum]] and [[bolt pistol]]. Clausel has never been seen in battle without his jump pack and often leads a reserve unit of [[Assault Marines]]. Whilst his armour is black, both his pauldrons have green edging showing his placement in the fourth company and ultramarine blue inners, strangely with no insignia on them. He is free from bionic implants and is bald on top but not the sides, giving his head a holy, monk-like appearance.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|3c}}

*''"What is the terror of death? That we die with our work incomplete. What is the joy of life? To die knowing our task is done. I stand alongside warriors of honour, and the warrior who acts out of honour cannot fail. His duty is honour itself. Even a warrior's death--if it is honourable--is a reward and can be no failure, for it has come through duty. Seek honour as you act, and you will know no fear. A fortress is a living thing: the commander its brain, the walls its bones, the sensors its eyes and ears, the troops its blood, their weapons its fists. If one organ fails, the whole dies. And if the whole dies, no single organ can survive alone. And above all, remember this... for a warrior the only crime is cowardice."''{{Fn|2c}}
