===Notes===
{{Endn|Note 1}}: Grimaldus states during the [[Helsreach Crusade]] (part of the [[Third War for Armageddon]]) that his rosarius was destroyed in battle. He later says, ''"I am still alive three years after its destruction..."'' Since the Third War for Armageddon started in 998.[[M41]], this would mean the rosarius was destroyed around 995.[[M41]].{{Fn|3h}}

As a [[Chaplain]], Grimaldus wielded a [[crozius arcanum]] that was forged for him upon his induction into the Chaplancy, although upon his ascension to the rank of Reclusiarch, he took up the crozius of his mentor (and the former Reclusiarch) Mordred.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}} He also possesses a [[plasma pistol]] recovered from the body of a [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] of the [[Imperial Fists]] who saved his life in the [[Battle of Alfava Metraxis]].{{Fn|3g}}
He wears a relic helmet, worn by every Reclusiarch in the Chapter's history since their very founding.{{Fn|3g}}{{Fn|Conflicting sources}} He also had has a Chaplain's [[rosarius]] made out of bronze and red iron and shaped like a heraldic cross; this was lost in combat around the year 995.[[M41]].{{Fn|3h}}{{Fn|Note 1Conflicting sources}}

{{Trivia}}
Multiple characters in the novel [[Helsreach (Novel)|Helsreach]] note that Grimaldus has very kind-looking eyes, notably [[Princeps]] [[Zarha Mancion|Zarha]] of the [[Legio Invigilata]]{{Fn|3e}} and [[Prioress]] [[Sindal]] of the [[Order of the Argent Shroud]].{{Fn|3h}}
==={{Endn|Conflicting sources}}===
While the book [[Helsreach (Novel)|Helsreach]] claims that Grimaldus wears a [[Skull Helm]]{{Fn|3g}} like those commonly seen on modern Astartes Chaplains, all artwork and other depictions of the helmet (such as in the cover art of [[Blood and Fire (Novella)|Blood and Fire]]) show it to be closer in appearance to a MkV pattern helmet.
Grimaldus states during the [[Helsreach Crusade]] (part of the [[Third War for Armageddon]]) that his rosarius was destroyed in battle. He later says, ''"I am still alive three years after its destruction..."'' Since the Third War for Armageddon started in 998.[[M41]], this would mean the rosarius was destroyed around 995.[[M41]].{{Fn|3h}} However, during the events of [[Blood and Fire]], Grimaldus has his rosarius.{{Fn|4a}}
