			Castellan Crowe also shows up in [[Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters]] as a playable character, [[Rage\|except he's a]] [[Games Workshop\|day-one DLC]] character that only joins you later in the game as max level [[Purifier]], and with very little fanfare [[FAIL\|beyond a special random event saying a famous knight joins your crusade]]. He has a unique skill tree that grants him [[Plot Armor\|the ability to avoid permadeath]] and the Librarian's Warp Surge reduction ability, and cannot change his loadout for obvious reasons. Perhaps as a testament to his skill, he hits as hard as a master crafted Nemesis Force Sword with the Black Blade, which canonically hampers his fighting ability as much as possible.

	A nemesis force weapon is supposed to be supernaturally light, supernaturally hard, and psychically-attuned to its grey knight wielder so that its mere touch has the potential to destabilize daemonic flesh. A master-crafted nemesis weapon, like the one Castellan Crowe should possess by right as the Brotherhood Champion, brings those qualities to a whole other level. So, to fight a being like Skulltaker, a weapon such as that is not only a necessity, but the mere thought of using anything less would mean you [[Grimdark\|deserve whatever happens to you]]... Unfortunately, Castellan Crowe does not have a master-crafted nemesis force weapon, nor even a regular nemesis weapon. No, in this epic duel of duels, he was forced to use the fencing equivalent of a ''lead pipe'' -- A lead pipe that [[FAIL\|actively resists his every swing, consistently tries to break his focus, and repeatedly attempts to get him killed in every battle]]. To spite this near-impossible handicap, he still managed to fight toe-to-toe with a 'slightly weakened' Skulltaker for several hours. It bears to iterate again that he took on the personal champion of the deadliest warrior in existence and beat him by improvising any means at his disposal while wielding a shitty weapon actively trying to kill him.
