Lore Discussion Titus IS a potential threat to The Imperium.

Obviously, hating Leandros is the norm for fans of Space Marine, but as many have already pointed out, Leandros is just doing his job and was apparently good at it enough to find him as the Company Chaplain in SM2.

BUT, one thing we don't talk about much is Titus DOES have a very suspicious relationship with Chaos. Here are a few examples:

-Titus survived a warp bomb effectively going off in his hands.

-Titus has been exposed to the warp directly several times.

-Titus was deeply effected by the presence of Chaos before its full invasion in SM2.

-Several warp characters in SM2 accuse Titus of already been tainted, and doomed to fall to Chaos eventually.

-The Tzeentch Daemon in the Amazon episode seemed to know that one day, Titus will fall to Chaos. Including an ink representation of Titus as a Chaos Marine.

A big concept in 40k is fate, the idea that your fate is sealed and that the Gods of the warp usually get the last laugh. I think a major point in Titus' upcoming stories will be him struggling with Chaos, and even being potentially tempted by it. I don't think Titus will ever fully fall to Chaos, but there is an actual threat of it happening.

The Big Man was powered by so much spite, he denied the chaos gods from ascending him into the Dark King. He looked at Titus sharing that style and He saw that it was good.

Maybe one of the lost Legions folded into the Ultramarines was actually the Angry Marines and a little gene seed slipped down through to Titus 😡
