Editing Aeonid Thiel (section)

==Personality==

Thiel was as dutiful and loyal as any good Ultramarine, but compared to the often dogmatic approach his fellows have, his views and tactics seem downright unorthodox (read: [[Reasonable Marines|reasonable]]). While he still considers the Theoreticals and Practicals, he's more than willing to drop these for something that will deliver in a given situation, up to and including what more honorable Ultramarines would consider dirty tricks. These include, among other things, impersonating a Word Bearer to get close enough to shank him and simply ''shooting'' a <strike>World Eater</strike> Night Lord instead of indulging him with a mano-a-mano duel.

Thiel was also quite frank with his opinions, even to his [[Primarch]], [[Roboute Guilliman]]. Though he had the utmost respect for his genefather, he also wasn't afraid to call him out for some of his more dubious tactical decisions. This honesty endeared him to Guilliman, who had come to value his counsel.
