The Ultramarines Chaplain who leads the Space Marines who escort the Titan's Princeps (captain) and crew to the Titan. Librarian Isador Akios is voiced by Mark Oliver. Isador was killed in a duel between himself and Gabriel, and Gabriel used his death as an example of the fate of Space Marines who fell to Chaos. Because of this, they were blinded to Isador's corruption and thus could not stop Isador before he finally seized the Maledictum and turned to Chaos, bringing Gabriel's trust in his old friend crumbling to the ground. When Inquisitor Mordecai Toth arrived, he detected a Chaotic taint and came up with the assumption that it originated in Gabriel. While the Blood Ravens 3rd company was on the doomed planet of Tartarus, Isador slowly succumbed to the powers of Chaos, tempted by the traitorous Sorcerer of the Alpha Legion named Sindri Myr, telling him of the "Key", and tempting him to use it. Although his homeworld was destroyed, Isador did not blame Gabriel for his actions on Cyrene, since it had to be done. Isador met Gabriel 30 years before the events on Tartarus when Gabriel was still a battle brother.
Much like Captain Angelos, Isador was born and raised on Cyrene (the Blood Ravens' homeworld), and became a Blood Raven around the same time as Gabriel because they were brought up together. In Retribution he goes toe to toe with Azariah Kyras, the treasonous Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens during his ascendance to daemonhood and is viciously beaten down but if the player completes the Space Marines campaign (canonical), Angelos is rebuilt with extensive bionics and is promoted to Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens.Īngelos returns for Dawn of War III as the Space Marine Protagonist, leading a force of Blood Ravens past a blockade to assist the Knights of House Varlock.Ĭaptain/Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos is voiced by Paul Dobson in Dawn of War, Chaos Rising, Retribution, Brian Dobson in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and Alec Newman in Dawn of War III.īrother-Librarian Isador Akios was the present Librarian of the Blood Ravens 3rd Company, and a secondary character in Dawn of War. He only appears as a playable character on the last mission, when the Blood Ravens have successfully injected the poison extracted from the Tyranid Gene Sample, and are clearing the remaining Tyranid forces on Typhon Primaris. He appears throughout the single-player campaign in briefings, particularly right after the Tyranid invasion on Calderis, aboard the battle barge Litany of Fury (the same one present in Dark Crusade). Granted the potent Daemonhammer "God-Splitter" by Inquisitor Mordecai Toth, Angelos shatters the Maledictum and kills the intended recipient of its power, the sorcerer-turned-Daemon Prince Sindri Myr.Ĭaptain Angelos makes his return in Dawn of War II. His trust was shattered when Isador defects to Chaos and steals the key to unlocking the Maledictum, a Chaos artifact containing a bound Daemon of Khorne, and Angelos is forced to personally execute him. He has also grown up with Librarian Isador Akios, whom he trusts immensely. Gabriel himself, like most Imperials, distrusts aliens immensely it is for this reason he shows incredible disdain for the Eldar in his encounters with their leader, Farseer Macha (though in the novels, his disdain for them gradually lessens). Only his battle-brothers of the Blood Ravens truly understand his feelings on the matter. He carries a guilty conscience for destroying his homeworld of Cyrene (one of the recruiting worlds of the Blood Ravens) and agonizes over this continuously, though he does not often speak of it. In the first Dawn of War game, Brother-Captain Gabriel Angelos is the commander of the Blood Ravens' 3rd Company. Space Marines Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos
