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.

Im gonna tell the inquisitor you will see !

AGAIN you tell the inquisition first and not the chapter? I thought you loved the codex astartes?

He's a chaplain, that's kind of the job description lmfao

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?

Inspiring the troops is a SECONDARY part of the Chaplains job. Their primary job is to be the chapters' fun police, IE to be the guys standing apart and be always watchful for any kind of corruption or deviation from accepted dogma. They're the Space Marine equivalent to a Commissar.

You're naming exceptional individuals in exceptional chapters, rather than looking at what a normal Chaplain in an average Codex-compliant chapter is like. (Also the Grimaldus example is rather spurious, given that most of his characterisation is from his internal thoughts rather than perceivable actions. From an outside perspective he sure is playing the watchful, grim firebrand preacher role pretty well.)

Well, and Leandros does sure seem to be a decent firebrand when he wants to be, given you can witness him go fire&brimstone preacher at least twice over the course of the story.

The Logical Explanation: Chaplains are essentially the Space Marine equivalent of Commissars.
The Real Explanation: He's an Ultrasmurf, therefore a Matt Wardian ♥♥♥♥.

It's actually kind of the perfect punishment for Leandros's offense. He cited the Codex as an excuse, while violating the codex by not informing the Chaplin about his concerns.

So now he has to memorize and preach from the Codex constantly, rather than choose to glaze the book (taking away any joy he might have had in doing so.) while also forcing him to inform the Chaplin (can't avoid knowing things now can you Leandros?) and thus exposing him to everyone else who actually _does_ follow the Codex with their concerns.

At least, that's my view on the matter.

He won't stop at Calgar, he would even accuse the Emperor of heresy if he have his way

Nope, been mentors and spiritual leaders is their PRIMARY role. As well as serving all chapters rites and rituals. Their role of watching mental health of space marines is secondary, and the one theiy share with librarium and apothecarion. In that role they act more like psychologist, who are tasked with talking, observing and REPORTING anything weird. They are certainly not tasked with been little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who treaten and slight you at every step.

Hellsreach gives you very good idea what Grimaldus is and how he behaves. He never behaves like Leandros.

I don't know if most of these posts are made by someone who doesn't know the lore, but in 40k basis at which Leandros distrusts Titus, they are strong and if not checked could potentially bring the whole company to destruction.

"Acts lore accurately"

Soooo every ultramarine for example, views devotion to the emperor and duty, which LORE ACCURATELY has resulted in numerous space marines, primarchs and even normal humans overcoming the "touch of the warp" including so many others that are actively resistant too it because WILLPOWER is quite litterally a means of combating the taint of the warp, All ultramarine's or hell most of the imperium, in your view would "lore accurately" accuse titus on the spot despite being a novice?

1. When leandros made the accusation, he was young and a novice.
2. The codex astartes, to which he implicitly uses as rules and not a guide (the difference between him and titus) explicitly states that all accusations of heresy should NOT be brought directly to the inquisition and instead the chapter first. This one was the main reasons calgar will have said he was so angry and likely the reason why Leandros became a chaplain at all.

Leandros. Is. An. Ass.
Leandros litterally called Titus a liar in the first game because he said he was no heretic because he was the one who cast down nemeroth and thats just....not possible, for....some reason.

Lets be real here, the first game, was not well written in line with 40k lore.....at all.

What I really like in WH40k world lore:

Be 'good', 'kind' and 'tolerant' and get betrayed by Xenos or tainted by Chaos.
In this universe, you MUST BE intolerant, and always ALWAYS suspicious.

(BTW, games like Inquisitor or Rogue Trader are GREAT in this story arc.)

So I disagree, there is something odd with Titus and I stand with Leandros, who by the way, saved him despite all his suspicion.

[Vulbjorn]

Leandros didn't save Titus, Varro Tigurius did.
Besides, inquisitor Thrax who aprehended Titus (not according to Codex Astartes), later got posessed and given Carta Extremis for his secret facility, so there was more of a something wrong with him than Titus.

[badger vortex]

apparently chaplains are supposed to look after the psychological and spiritual wellbeing of their battle-brothers - according to wiki

sounds like propaganda to me, as far as i can tell chaplains are just there to be rules perverts and try to catch people out on things rather than have any genuine care about those they are responsible for. oh yeah they're also the keenest cheerleaders of the empruh, well done i guess, very speshul boys they are
