A Captain of the Grey Knights is a senior commander of one of the eight Brotherhoods that comprise the Chapter. Each of these mighty warriors has proven their worth time and again, both as a leader of their fellow Battle-Brothers and as a fearsome fighter in his own right. They are almost exclusively appointed from the ranks of the Chapter's Paladins. Only these most experienced of warriors can be said to display both the martial and strategic acumen that is necessary for a Captain to master. However, in the past exceptions have been made for exceptionally valorous and capable Battle-Brothers, for the Grey Knights are nothing if not pragmatic. Each Captain has authority over one hundred of the finest warriors in the galaxy. His responsibility as commander of a Brotherhood is one undertaken

abstract	A Captain of the Grey Knights is a senior commander of one of the eight Brotherhoods that comprise the Chapter. Each of these mighty warriors has proven their worth time and again, both as a leader of their fellow Battle-Brothers and as a fearsome fighter in his own right. They are almost exclusively appointed from the ranks of the Chapter's Paladins. Only these most experienced of warriors can be said to display both the martial and strategic acumen that is necessary for a Captain to master. However, in the past exceptions have been made for exceptionally valorous and capable Battle-Brothers, for the Grey Knights are nothing if not pragmatic. Each Captain has authority over one hundred of the finest warriors in the galaxy. His responsibility as commander of a Brotherhood is one undertaken with sombre dignity, for to command a Brotherhood is to command power itself, and in lesser organisations, unrestrained control of such power could, and often does, lead to the corruption of the individual in question. But a Captain is a Grey Knight, whose soul has been hardened against mortal temptations which are easily set aside. Upon the field of battle, a Brother-Captain can always be found in the very heart of the fighting, setting an example for his Battle-Brothers, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them against the worst horrors of the Warp. Though the Captain strikes at the enemy with Storm Bolter and Nemesis Force Weapon, his mind is set to directing his forces towards the greater victory. As part of his training, a Brother-Captain is taught to make psychic contact with his warriors, even amidst the clamour and chaos of battle, the better to ensure that reinforcements arrive precisely at the time they are needed, guiding his Battle-Brothers in battle to ensure ultimate victory. By his numerous deeds, each Brother-Captain will have earned honours and titles other than his formal rank. Some of these are traditional to the Chapter, others are unique, awarded by the Grand Masters for acts of valour, and each serves as a truncated history of that warrior's achievements. So it is that a long-serving Brother-Captain may be known by as many as a half-dozen or more titles. Whilst such a weighty roster of honours can lead to ponderous moments at the Grey Knights' high feasts (when each Captain's titles must be announced in full) they stand as an important example of duty and heroism to all of the Chapter's Battle-Brothers.
