giving him valuable experience in a variety of theatres of war, and making him an ideal choice for such high authority. His oversight onto all Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy activities within the Salient is carried out through the means of thousands of lesser Commissars stationed aboard starships and deployed within Imperial Guard regiments.{{Fn|1}}
A dutiful and honorable honourable man, Theren does not suffer the wasteful use of the Emperor’s armed forces, regarding the lives of the Emperor’s servants as something not to be expended frivolously or rashly. Indeed, quite at odds with the archetypal image of the Commissar, Theren cares about the men under his authority. This has caused him to clash with the Generals under his jurisdiction on several occasions, even going so far as to veto the battle plans of [[General]] [[Derian Arkelius]] more than once, and having executed several senior Imperial Guard officers for negligence over the years of the [[Achilus Crusade]]. Further, he has reprimanded
several of his subordinate Commissars for being overzealous in their punishments. The lives of the Emperor’s servants are valuable and it is the responsibility of their leaders to ensure that the dutiful efforts of even the least of men are employed wisely, as Theren is swift to point out to his subordinates. In spite of this atypical outlook, Theren is a stern disciplinarian, having established a collection of penal companies in order to deal with those who step out of line,
and commandeering a special battalion of veteran troops to serve as military police, as he has found that squads of exceptionally disciplined men, unbound by regimental loyalty, make effective enforcers.{{Fn|1}}
Deathwatch Kill-teams, for every Space Marine who stands beside the mortal guardsmen and shipsmen of the Orpheus Salient lessens the weight upon his shoulders and those of every officer under his command.{{Fn|1}}
