Editing Martellus (section)

==Chaos Rising==
During [[Chaos Rising]], the force commander's squad rescues him while securing an astronomic array, and Martellus proves himself useful by fixing your Termie armor, which is horribly obsolete by this point, and guiding you to the logic engine you need to ascertain which member of your squad has betrayed you to the [[Black Legion]]. If none of your squadmates are particularly corrupt, he ends up betraying you, raising the question of why he decided to help you out in the first place, which can only be explained by [[Indrick Boreale|incompetence]]. While he does get some decent lines and a [[Steve Blum|fine voice]], his betrayal lacks the punch of all the other ones, as the player's neither responsible for it nor capable of giving two fucks about Martellus in the first place, since he does nothing in the field. He doesn't even measure up to Apothecary Galan in good voice acting, since the latter actually had more than generic threats to offer.

Unfortunately, if you do go down the Martellus-corruption path, you will quickly start giving a fuck, either in the form of [[rage]] or [[Night Lords|fear]], when Martellus <s>drives out of the hangar in a customized [[Predator Tank|Chaos Predator]]</s> hides in his [[Metal Boxes|METAL BAWKS]]. He hits for a metric fuckton of damage with his gun and ramming, summons minions and artillery strikes, and has immense health under heavy armor that puts him right up there with [[Eliphas]] and [[Ulkair]] in terms of bullshit bosses. Going down that horrible, [[Matt Ward| non-canonical]] road more or less necessitates bringing [[Davian Thule]] with a multimelta or your other game-breaking squads. When killed, Martellus explains that [[Azariah Kyras]] is a heretic and that Eliphas saved him on Typhon.

The wargear reward you get for killing him is a power sword with a 10% chance of instakilling vehicles. [[Troll| It is dropped after the most difficult vehicular boss of the game.]]
