Leandros is a c*nt

[Master of Pronouns]

I could imagine that Leandros accused Calgar of heresy, after the Chapter Master was immune to that "time-stop" sorcery at the end of the campaign.

Space Marine 3: We fight against the Chaos corrupted Leandros and his minions.

Prove me wrong.

Are we acting like he got promoted right after that? You know there's been a massive time skip and many many things happen between then and now, right? Since he's still alive he's been part of hundereds of successful missions. Just because he was wrong once doesn't mean his accuse ratio isn't in possitive numbers. That being said yeah he a c*nt.

All my homies hate Leandros. I have no idea how he got the position he's currently holding, he's entirely unfit.

He's an overzealous, paranoid narc. Iow, he's EXCEPTIONALLY fit to be a Chaplain.

None of the chaplains in the lore, including chief chaplains are anything like Leandros. To believe and insipre, like a real chaplain should, and to be stupid overzealous snitch threatening you at every step - are different things.
For example Grimaldus of Black Templars. He constantly questions his own abilities and the right course of actions deep inside himself, but always tries bring the best out of others and do his duty till the end.
For example Ulric of Space Wolves. Old and wise. Always eager to give advise and share experience. Always ready to tech young ones. Never there to reprimand you for every small thing.
For example Astorath of Blood Angels. Grim and taciturn. But always ready to inspire and his brothers by his own actions, swooping down on his black angelic wing like the damn grim reaper. Men of few words, when he does speak everyone listen, because his words carry weight.
Leandros is... what is he even doing?

[Funnybones]

You guys are brilliant! I love this (seriously! no sarcasm or irony)

[F'tangg]

The whole way through I was thinking man, this Chaplain is a bit on the zealous side? I know Titus was accused of heresy, but he did a century of penance and was called back by Calgar's own command.

Then we get the reveal at the end and I'm just thinking oh, wow, he's not an overzealous Chaplain, he's a petty little b*tch!

Soooooo many chaplains in the lore suggest otherwise. Theres a lot of compassion in a lot of chaplains, in fact most of the time, if one of their brothers loses control of themselves say the blood angels, they will blame themselves for not being able to help their brother because it is their duty as chaplains to not just gaurd against heresy and keep the chapter pure, but to aid their brothers in their search for stability within the chapter too.

They are looked up too, not feared.

Did you just brought up blood angels? As in one of the few chapters with incurable mutations they have no control over and compared it to a normal chapter without any deviatons? Cool.

And another dude brought up fking Space Wolfs... Yeah. Great.

I genuinely do love the reveal, regardless of whether Leandros would really have realistically progressed to this position, because now any tension between Titus and his companions in a future story dlc or next game will feel genuine, rather than the kind of cheap, quickly resolved tension in this game. Those of us who know the first game will genuinely hate this guy and be right there on Titus' side when he continues to be a ♥♥♥♥♥.

He's gonna need one hell of a redemption arc if they want them to hug it out at the end.

Yes. As well as Black Templars you ignored. i just used the names of the 3 reclusiarchs from the top of my head.
But even Master Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai of Dark Angels is a better human creature than Leandros. However cunning and menacing he is, he still knows what is brotherhood and duty.

I ignored it because it's a decent point. Also second one is really pushing it.

[Codex]

I was lucky to not see the spoilers, however during the reveal, my heart sunk and I said out loud "You utter c*nt!".

He got promoted, how good for him, what a coincidence. Who the heck would have promoted someone who made such a grave sin against the codex. He involved outsiders in the chapter's affairs, potentially risking exposure of their secrets. A major no-no.

Oh and to echo everyone else, I thought he was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ chaplain, more of a tattle tale than an inspiring leader. Funny how we never see him in combat, any other chaplain would have been in the front ranks using his Crozius to smash the heads of the heretics, but no, he's busy sitting back with his notebook looking for minor offences. Reminds me of Randall from Recess.

What a c*nt.

[vailenxu]

hear me out, chaplains are all universally ♥♥♥♥♥. some chaplains are such ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that they have been written in lore to insult people to life without using warp powers. they are faith turned feral and then left to starve like a rabid animal. they are literally the turbo aggressive florida men of space marines. you cannot corrupt something that is already more twisted than the chaos gods themselves.

i myself am a major ♥♥♥♥. why else would i want a chaplain class? to scream at my boiis for being ass as i bludgeon my enemies to death with a blunt weapon. only using my plasma gun to insist that its to stop my friends helping the enemy out of heretical urges because they locked eyes too long

[segara]

I don't expect Leandros to turn to Chaos, nor do i expect him and Titus to reconcile.
From an in universe perspective he overstepped and got the Inquisition involved instead of the chapter master, but his paranoia about chaos corruption was justified.
And a corrupted Captain with his entire company loyaly following him everywhere ... nope, can't risk that.
We, as players, know that Titus is no heretic, but how was Leandros supposed to know that? Just because he said so?

This. The BS is real.

[Harukage]

Inquisition have many ways to test and iterrogate. Including the very painfull and surefire one including psyker interrogators. It is very traumatic but astartes can pass through that just fine.
All accusations of heresy should have been removed long ago as baseless. Sure, receiving punishment for touching chaos corrupted item is acceptable. Normal tour in Deathwatch should have been good enough. It can be seen as both punishment and merit.
But not service as a Black Shield. That is an insult to the whole chapter. A grave one.
And yes Leandros should have been punished too by his chapter.
