|quote = '''''A Captain leads from the front. By his example shall his men know what it is to be of the Adeptus Astartes, and from his teachings shall they learn the trade of battle in the Emperor's name.'''''
'''''No ordinary man can a Captain be, for many are the paths to victory and he must be master of them all. His very being shall be an extension of the Emperor's work. With every strike of his sword, with every word of his speech, does he reaffirm the ideals of our honoured master. He will vanquish darkness and heresy with every thought, word, and deed. So shall his coming be a sign of deliverance to the dutiful, and a herald of dismay to all traitors. No living man shall stay his wrath.'''''

Typically, the senior-most Captain commands the First Company and often serves as second-in-command to the [[Chapter Master]] and as their immediate successor.{{fn|9}}{{Fn|10a}} In addition, some chapters, such as the [[Salamanders]]{{Fn|7}} and the [[Space Wolves]]{{Fn|12a}}, the [[Chapter Master]] is at once the leader of the entire chapter and of his own company of marines.
A Captain isn't just a warrior; they must also possess the ability to persuade and negotiate. Though Captains are capable of decisive action, they understand the importance of subtlety in certain situations. Besides their rank, Captains also carry honourific honorific titles related to their duties as a [[Master (Space Marine)|Master]], responsible for an area of Chapter logistics or organization.{{Fn|1a}}
