Chaplains are the most well-versed in the knowledge of the Chapter's cult. This knowledge is put to practical use as Chaplains are responsible for the spiritual health, discipline and faith of the Chapter brethren. The bond between Marines and their Chaplains is a strong one. Chaplains are present in a Marine's life from the moment he is chosen as a [[neophyte]], presiding over their indoctrination as they progress toward becoming full battle-brothers.{{Fn|19}}
This highly confidential mission makes the Interrogator-Chaplains a secretive and somewhat sinister group. Once a member of the Fallen has been captured, it is the duty of the Interrogator-Chaplains to force the prisoner to confess and repent. Those who repent are spared further torture and receive a painless death. Those who hold to their innocence are exorcised of their sins through excruciation and death.{{Fn|1}}

===Executioners===
The [[Executioners]] assign three chaplains, instead of just one, to each [[Space Marine Company|company]]. Each trio of Chaplains is known as the '''Death Speakers''' and are charged with maintaining the roll of the dead, and ensuring order within the chapter.{{Fn|8}}
