====The Chaplaincy/Reclusium==== A chapter may have any number of chaplains, although the Codex mandates at ''least'' 11 or 12 if fully staffed (One per Company, plus the Reclusiarch/Master of Sanctity). *'''Master of Sanctity''': The head of the Chaplaincy and spiritual leader of the Chapter. He assigns [[Chaplain]]s to the Companies to oversee the spiritual health of the Chapter. This position is often but not always held by the chapter's Reclusiarch. Though it might be tempting to compare them to warrior bishops, they're actually atheists (save some Chapters closely aligned to the [[Ecclesiarchy]] or the [[Mechanicus]]), seeing the Emperor as an honored predecessor and the epitome of humanity but not a god. *'''Reclusiarch''': The Chaplain who oversees the Chapter's Reclusiam (where they keep the relics and other secret historical stuff). Often the job gets rolled up into the Master of Sanctity's job description (particularly if the Chapter is relatively young and has not accrued entire millennia worth of trinkets). It's uncertain what interaction (if any) they have with the Master of Relics; it is quite possible that a Chaplain receives the role if that Captain of the 9th company gets a different position. It is possible that the Reclusiarch looks after the more "holy" and historically significant relics, distributing some of them to Chaplains to carry in battle, while the Master of Relics okays the deployment of precious but combat-worthy stuff like ancient marks of power armour or Heresy-era tanks (Master of the Forge is technically a specialist position, not an authoritative one). *'''[[Chaplain]]''': Ministers to the psychological stability of their brothers, inspiring them and allied forces in battle and watching for Chaos corruption. *'''[[Judiciar]]''': Primaris Chaplains in training equipped with Executioner Blades and Tempormortis temporal distortion devices, charged with enforcing the Chapter Master's will.
