High Marshal

A High Marshal is the senior ranking Astartes of the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter, and is equivalent to a Chapter Master of other Codex Astartes-Codex-compliant Chapters. The fighting skills of a High Marshal are unsurpassed with all weapons available within the Chapter's armouries. The High Marshal is the supreme commander of the Chapter's ongoing Crusades, keeping track of their overall progress and making tactical decisions in regards to the deployment of its forces and occasionally blessing it with his inspirational presence. The High Marshal is one of the most autonomous commanders in the Imperium of Man, decreeing by his own designs where his warriors will fight and without recourse to the dictates of the High Lords of Terra.
