→Prisoner of the Inquisition
Once the [[Ultramarines]] became aware of what had happened to Titus, [[Chapter Master]] [[Calgar]] made repeated requests to the [[Inquisition]] for the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]'s return. These were to no avail, however, as Calgar would never receive any replies regarding Titus or [[Inquisitor]] [[Gerome Thrax]]. With his absence, though, the [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|2nd Company]] was left without a Captain and it was decided that [[Cato Sicarius]] would succeed Titus as its new commander.{{Fn|1}} The Ultramarines later erected a statue of Titus in their [[Fortress Monastery]]'s '''Hall of Heroes'''.{{Fn|5}} The missing Captain was also honoured by [[Malum Caedo]], an Ultramarine who went on his own mission to [[Graia]] in order to investigate the fate of a fragment of the [[Psychic Scourge]]'s power source.{{Fn|6}}

In truth, Titus spent the next century being repeatedly [[psychic]]ally scourged and subjected to brutal mindtrawls by [[Inquisitor]] [[Gerome Thrax|Thrax]]. As a student of the [[Imperium]]'s history, the [[Ordo Malleus]] Inquisitor had long viewed the [[Space Marines]] as being a significant threat to [[Humanhuman]]ity's existence , just as [[heresy]] and the [[Warpwarp]] were. This is what led the Inquisitor inquisitor to keep Titus imprisoned within his remote Inquisitorial watch station, no matter how many of his tests and interrogations proved the [[Ultramarine]] was not corrupted. Titus bore these stoically and was kept in a [[Stasisstasis]] cell, between his bouts of testing, alongside several other Space Marines space marines that Thrax had imprisoned after their Chapters chapters had drawn his scrutiny. This continued until the Inquisitor inquisitor was slain by the [[Grey Knights]], after he became possessed by a [[Daemondaemon]] during his purge of the [[Grey Slayers]] [[Chapterchapter]]. In the subsequent Ordo Malleus investigation into how he could have become possessed, Thrax's holdings were seized by an Inquisitor, inquisitor who discovered Titus and the other imprisoned Space Marinesspace marines. Though she could have dealt with them in a way that would hide Thrax's shame, the Inquisitor inquisitor instead sent the Space Marines marines to be evaluated at the [[Deathwatch]] [[Watch Fortresswatch fortress|fortress]], ''[[Watcher Keep]]''.{{Fn|1}}
