	When the raging retard known as Inquisitor Holt commenced orbital bombardment on the Eldar and Orks that were fighting each other, it also took down Gabriel with them (or so they thought) and even opened the path for the equally retarded Autarch. The news drove Diomedes so mad that it almost turned him into an [[Angry Marines\|Angry Marine]], which given by his new fearsome appearance has made him about as frightening as [[Konrad Curze]]. He was going to board on whatever ship the Inquisitor was on and [[RIP AND TEAR\|RIP AND TEAR HIM APART]], but was stopped by Jonah when he tells him to calm the fuck down and continue with the mission.

	In terms of gameplay, Diomedes is a strange elite. His strengh lies in giving your entire army shields while smacking enemies for negligible damage.		In terms of gameplay, Diomedes is a strange elite. His strengh lies in giving your entire army shields while smacking enemies for negligible damage.

	The [[Deathwatch (RPG)\|Deathwatch]] book Honour the Chapter has revealed some interesting information. It mentions that the [[Raptors]] chapter once had a Captain Diomedes who took the Apocryphon Oath and served a Long Watch with the [[Deathwatch]]. He was an expert at using the [[Jump pack\|jump pack]] in jungle environments. He commissioned an upgraded jump pack to improve his effectiveness in said terrain, an artifact that still serves with the Deathwatch. Using a new method of transportation always takes training, and as such it is quite possible that Diomedes smashed head-first into a tree while getting accustomed to his new jump pack. Since captains do not wear helmets and Diomedes has no hair to cushion the impact, his brain was scrambled a bit. If a particularly sneaky Blood Raven [[Cyrus\|happened to be serving in the Deathwatch at his side that time]], it is very possible that he... recruited the captain to the cause of the Blood Ravens. Why this did not include the jump pack is not certain: perhaps it detached upon impact and the Blood Raven had to choose which to acquire.

	Dayomidis has served as part of the Blud Rehvens for quite some centuries, being the yes-man of [[Azariah Kyras]], allowing him to reach the level of captain of the honour guard. In Chaos rising, he makes it his mission to obstruct the lives of Gabriel Angelos and FC Hairgel, but canonically survives to Retribution.		Dayomidis has served as part of the Blud Rehvens for quite some centuries, being the yes-man of [[Azariah Kyras]], allowing him to reach the level of captain of the honour guard. In Chaos rising, he makes it his mission to obstruct the lives of Gabriel Angelos and FC Hairgel, but canonically survives to Retribution.

	Unfortunately for him all his sycophancy was being dumped in a traitor chapter master allied to Chaos; how he deals with this and manages to redeem himself is dealt in Retribution, where he looks for hints of who is the Ascended, encouraging both the other Blood Ravens (read: [[Cyrus]] and [[Martellus]]) and the players to shout "oh come on Diomedes, just look at Kyras, do you really think he is one of the good guys?" Tellingly, none of the Blood Ravens he encounters in the campaign show any respect for him. After finally realizing he had been serving a heretic all these centuries, he suffers a heroic BSOD which forces the Ancient to reveal his identity. After some brief, but precise words about what truly makes a [[Space Marine\|Spess Mehreen]], as well as the threat of a meltagun being shoved in certain orifices, he is back on track and goes with Cyrus, the Ancient and Martellus to kick some Kyras arse. In the resulting fight Gabe, who was already trying to kill Kyras, gets stomped by him, which finally makes Dayomidis show he actually seems to have got his rank due being a powerful warrior and proceeds to annihilate Kyras, finishing him with a nice orbital bombardment and delivering a kickass ending speech.

	Diomedes is believed to have suffered from a unique Psyker mutation known as "Banebladeitism" since birth. This reputably gives him the ability to control any kind of [[Baneblade]] in existence. He is also believed to have been the spawn between an [[Ogryn]] and a Baneblade, making him half-Baneblade. It is rumored that instead of making his home on a Blood Ravens battle barge or strike cruiser, he instead contains himself to a Baneblade painted in [[Imperial Fists]] colours.

	The Captain's name is outstandingly greek for a fictive culture with so much focus on the roman - Apollo is of course the Roman/Greek god of light, music, sports, archery, but also fear, death and plague and a ''fuckload'' of other stuff, while Diomedes was a greek hero on the Achaean side in the Trojan war, a badass without equal in greek mythology - Not only did he beat several Trojan warriors and officers in single combat, he, literally, wounded the god of war Ares so badly that the god had to fall back and brood over his failure on the Olympian mountain (He did all of this with the blessing of Athena, but don't tell his fans that).

	He is also amazingly overpowered, with the single most devastating special ability in the entire game; To Victory, which when fully upgraded causes even space marines to explode into fountains of gore for just being near him as the ground itself tears apart beneath his feet as he charges. His medpack has absolutely absurd range, essentially covering your entire army, his jump-pack actually recharges more quickly than Kayleth's and his other commander items like the banner do hilarious things like heal your troops and make them immune to suppression. Thanks to two abilities that let him heal rapidly in combat he is essentially invincible in melee and with the right weapons he can skullfuck basically any enemy unit in the game. Following some apparent nerfs to Eliphas, Diomedes may very well be the single most devastating close combat unit in the game short of the unbelievably bullshit Necron Overlord in the last stand.

	Apollo Diomedes; also known as Day-o-MIDIs, Abaldo Diomedes, Boreale 2.0, and BRUVAIAMHITT, is the [[Brother-Captain\|captain]] of the [[Blood Ravens]] [[honour guard]] and the main Space Marine protagonist of [[Dawn of War 2]]: Retribution. He also seems to be a close relative of [[Indrick Boreale]] due his unique intonation and [[Derp\|highly elaborated ingame responses.]] Ohh, and he's also bald, as in Captain Boreale bald. He is also notable for constantly soliciting [[Love Can Bloom\|Eldar Farseers for sex]] on the battlefield with bellowing cries of; "FAHSEEYAH LET US '''TO IT'''!!". In essence, he is Boreale with a lesser level of win and more grimdark. Funnily, the portions of his dialogue that aren't deployed at maximum volume are actually decent, as seen in the final mission and the Blood Ravens ending. They are, unfortunately, nowhere near as hilarious.

	The Captain's name is outstandingly greek for a fictive culture with so much focus on the roman - Apollo is of course the ~~roman~~/~~greek~~ god of light, music, sports, archery, but also fear, death and plague and a ''fuckload'' of other stuff, while Diomedes was a greek hero on the Achaean side in the Trojan war, a badass without equal in greek mythology - Not only did he beat several Trojan warriors and officers in single combat, he, literally, wounded the god of war Ares so badly that the god had to fall back and brood over his failure on the Olympian mountain (He did all of this with the blessing of Athena, but don't tell his fans that). ''Within ten minutes of fighting.'' It's saying something about the ancient greeks that this guy was so unimportant that he's only mentioned as a token hero and not as a main character or something.

	He is also amazingly overpowered, with the single most devastating special ability in the entire game; ~~to victory~~, which when fully upgraded causes even space marines to explode into fountains of gore for just being near him as the ground itself tears apart beneath his feet as he charges. His medpack has absolutely absurd range, essentially covering your entire army, his jump-pack actually recharges more quickly than ~~kayleth~~'s and his other commander items like the banner do hilarious things like heal your troops and make them immune to suppression. Thanks to two abilities that let him heal rapidly in combat he is essentially invincible in melee and with the right weapons he can ~~skull fuck~~ basically any enemy unit in the game. Following some apparent nerfs to Eliphas Diomedes may very well be the single most devastating close combat unit in the game short of the unbelievably bullshit Necron Overlord in the last stand.

	In DoW3 he returns as Chaplain Diomedes, keeping his signature oratory skills from the previous game.		In DoW3 he returns as Chaplain Diomedes, keeping his signature oratory skills from the previous game.

	Dayomidis has served as part of the Blud Rehvens for quite some centuries, being the yes-man of [[Azariah Kyras]], allowing him to reach the level of captain of the honour guard. In Chaos rising, he makes it his mission to obstruct the lives of Gabriel Angelos and FC Hairgel, but canonically survives to Retribution.

In Chaos rising, he makes it his mission to obstruct the lives of Gabriel Angelos and FC Hairgel, but canonically survives to Retribution.

	Unfortunately for him all his sycophancy was being dumped in a traitor chapter master allied to Chaos; how he deals with this and manages to redeem himself is dealt in Retribution, where he looks for hints of who is the Ascended, encouraging both the other Blood Ravens (read: [[Cyrus]] and [[Martellus]]) and the players to shout "oh come on Diomedes, just look at Kyras, do you really think he is one of the good guys?" Tellingly, none of the Blood Ravens he encounters in the campaign show any respect for him. After finally realizing he had been serving a heretic all these centuries, he suffers a heroic BSOD which forces the Ancient to reveal his identity. After some brief but precise words about what truly makes a [[Space Marine\|Spess Mehreen]], as well as the threat of a meltagun being shoved in certain orifices, he is back on track and goes with Cyrus, the Ancient and Martellus to kick Kyras arse. In the resulting fight Gabe, who was already trying to kill Kyras, gets stomped by him, which finally makes Dayomidis show he actually seems to have got his rank due being a powerful warrior and proceeds to annihilate Kyras, finishing him with a nice orbital bombardment and delivering a kickass ending speech.

	Diomedes is believed to have suffered from a unique Psyker mutation known as "Banebladeitism" since birth. This reputably gives him the ability to control any kind of Baneblade in existence. He is also believed to have been the spawn between an Ogryn and a Baneblade, making him half-Baneblade. It is rumored that instead of making his home on a Blood Ravens battle barge or strike cruiser, he instead contains himself to a Baneblade painted in Imperial Fists ~~colors~~.

	He was also in the Dark Knight as Detective Stephens, in Fallout as Joshua Graham, in Universe at War as the Xenos Underseer Kamal Re'x of the Hierarchy (and as Kamal is essentially a Grey type ayy lmao; is also bald), in Asura's Wrath as Kalrow (who is balding), in Halo 4 as the The Didact (Who surprisingly is almost bald). Ohh and he's also secretly the collective intelligence of Harbinger from the Mass Effect series (who is well...reapers don't have hair so let's call Harbinger bald too). He was also recurring character in the oldfag crime series THE EQUALIZER. You can now hear him in Bioshock Infinite as Captain Cornelius Slate, who might as well be his (great)^20 great grand father, and is bald.

	Diomedes returns as a chaplain, stepping down from his honor guard position to [[Dawn of war II\|atone for his past sin]]. Thanks to the spooky chaplain skull helmet, Diomedes is not only more spooky than ever, he is also more respected thanks to the helmet covering his baldness. He was ordered by Gabriel Angelos to be stationed on the starport, but was destroyed by the sudden emerging of the planet Archeron. Gabriel in all his bromance, defied Inquisitor Holt's orders to give Diomedes the last rite, only to find him [[AWESOME\|fighting off wave after waves of Eldar, alone, armed with only his crozius and a Storm Bolter]].

	When the raging retard known as Inquisitor Holt ~~commence~~ orbital bombardment on the Eldar and Orks that were fighting each other~~. It~~ also took down Gabriel with them (or so they thought) and even ~~open~~ the path for the equally retarded Autarch. The news drove Diomedes so mad that it almost turned him into an ~~angry marine~~, which given by his new fearsome appearance has made him about as frightening as [[Konrad Curze]]. He was going to board on whatever ship the Inquisitor was on and [[RIP AND TEAR\|RIP AND TEAR HIM APART]], but was stopped by Jonah when he tells him to calm the fuck down and continue with the mission.

	Although he made no appearance after this, we could assume that he and Lady Solaria would testify at an Imperial Court against Inquisitor Holt for abandoning the protection of the Imperial Knight World of Cyprus Ultima, being a friendly fire fucktard, chasing after a daemonic artifact, and being incompetent in execution of his even more retarded plan of blockading a planet the size of a small sun.

	The [[Deathwatch (RPG)\|Deathwatch]] book Honour the Chapter has revealed some interesting information. It mentions that the [[Raptors]] chapter once had a Captain Diomedes who took the Apocryphon Oath and served a Long Watch with the [[Deathwatch]]. He was an expert at using the [[Jump pack\|jump pack]] in jungle environments. He commissioned an upgraded jump pack to improve his effectiveness in said terrain, an artifact that still serves with the Deathwatch. Using a new method of transportation always takes training, and as such it is quite possible that Diomedes smashed head-first into a tree while getting accustomed to his new jump pack. Since captains do not wear helmets and Diomedes has no hair to cushion the impact his brain was scrambled a bit. If a particularly sneaky Blood Raven [[Cyrus\|happened to be serving in the Deathwatch at his side that time]], it is very possible that he... recruited the captain to the cause of the Blood Ravens. Why this did not include the jump pack is not certain: perhaps it detached upon impact and the Blood Raven had to choose which to acquire.
