==SERVANT OF [[Khorne|KHORNE]]?!== Actually he's probably just being corrupted by Khorne and doesn't know it. His resistance to the warp is similar to the psychic immunity Khorne gives to his followers (see [[Kharn]], who really is a swell chap) and he rejuvenates himself by killing things in RIP AND TEAR fashion and by bathing himself in blood ([[Khornate_Knights|although all this is also a hallmark of the most pure and incorruptible of the Imperiums defenders]]). Also, he runs on anger, like all Khornate Chaos Marines. And can tap into it to go into what is pretty much a [[Berserker]]'s rage. Oh yeah, and he's fighting a douchebag Sorcerer of [[Tzeentch]]'s. <s>Nemeroth isn't Tzeentch, he's one of those wishy-washy "unaligned" pussies.</s> Most Undivided Chaos sorcerers have heavy leanings towards Tzeentch anyway. Or, he was just a hollow-guy. Probably more relevant is one of the quotes he gives you on death: "Success is measured in blood: yours or your enemy's." Which, while the Imperium is certainly not opposed so some good old fashioned bloodshed, that sounds pretty Khornate. But if he's corrupted this way, then what does that make the Black Templars? On the other-hand, due to Khorne also being the god of Martial Honor and survival, it could be that he does indeed have Khorne’s favor simply by being an honorable, humble, visceral warrior. It’s not like the Chaos Gods truly have a “side” no matter what their worshippers think. Same could be said for the Black Templars and any other Chapter specializing in close combat (which Titus also seems to do a huge amount of). ===Counter Arguments=== {{topquote|A true man may flinch away its embrace, if he is stalwart, and he girds his soul with the armour of contempt.|[[Ravenor|Gideon Ravenor]]}} There's some that get immunity to the effects of the warp. Grey Knights are an example. He might just be a [[Blank]] who managed to avoid getting skullfucked by the [[Black Ships]]. You never see any Librarians willingly hanging around the guy, after all. Then again serving long enough to become a captain means he would have been around psykers long enough for them to have notice he was a blank. So we could just kept it to sheer willpower combine the fact he's emotionally stable means warp stuff wouldn't harm him as much. He couldn’t be a blank anyway as the power of Space Marines is obviously the result of Warp fuckery as even the most conservative examples of them are dramatically beyond human capability, no matter how dense or big a man’s muscles are. It's possible he's a pariah, instead of a blank, since he's shown to be partially affected by the powers of the warp (like when the power source literally backfired in his face and just knocked him out cold when it should very easily have atomised him). Of course, it is important to remember that the Warp is entirely a matter of willpower. The device itself (especially its backlash) had no will. Compare that to the willpower of a Space Marine captain's determination to win. Yeah. So, in that way, he saved himself through sheer badassery. Literally. Which if you think about it fits the game (and canon in general) pretty well.
