Editing High Marshal

[[File:Helbrecht_lg.jpg|300px|right|thumb|[[TTS|WHEEEGH!]]]]
The [[Black Templars]] [[Space Marine]]s use [[Marshal]]s to direct a crusade. So who, mind you, directs the entirety of the chapter itself? Well that is the ''High Marshal'' of course! The angriest motherfucker in the Imperium that could put [[Gabriel Seth]] some pause. The current High Marshal is [[Helbrecht]], who is just one octave short of being a loyalist [[Khorne|Khornate worshipper]].

==Overview==

In simple terms, a High Marshal is equivalent of a [[Chapter Master]], but whereas a Chapter Master is in control of a single Chapter, a High Marshal is in control of an entire ''demi-legion''.

A High Marshal is, therefore, the commander-in-chief and responsible for the progress of each Crusade and must uphold the honour of the [[Emperor]] and his Chapter. The High Marshal is steeped in the lore of the Black Templars and is the living manifestation of the Chapter, knowledgeable in all its secrets. Ultimately he is the only one who knows the exact number of Black Templars active in the Galaxy.

Furthermore the High Marshal is one of the most autonomous commanders in the Imperium, decreeing where his warriors are deployed without having to justify himself before the [[High Lords of Terra]].
