'''Judd Clausel''' is the [[Chaplain]] of the [[4th Company (Ultramarines)|Fourth Company]] of [[Ultramarines]].{{Fn|4a}}
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 thisMarker End}}
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 also followed the 4th Company to [[Tarsis Ultra]], fighting with ferocity against [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]{{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 thisMarker End}}
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}}
When Uriel and Pasanius returned unexpectedly from their [[Death Oath]], Clausel was not afraid to express his reservations; the two Ultramarines had been abducted to the [[Eye of Terror]], and Clausel had yet to be convinced that they were free of [[Chaos|Chaotic]] taint.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
Chaplain Clausel fought in several engagements during the second Pavonis campaign, including Deep Canyon Six, the Shonai Estate and Olzetyn.{{Cite ThisMarker End}} After the campaign, he told Uriel that his leadership on Pavonis had laid Clausel's doubts to rest, and that anyone in the future who questioned Uriel's worth would answer to him.{{Fn|3d}}
During the [[Bloodborn]]'s invasion of [[Ultramar]], Clausel accompanied Uriel and the 4th Company to [[Calth]].{{Fn|5}}
