	'''Martellus''' is a [[Steve Blum]]-voiced [[Blood Ravens]] [[Techmarine]] who first appeared in [[Dawn of War II]]. Not being a player character, his primary job in the original installment is to deploy field generators when you capture a shrine, manufactorum, or comms array, and to provide intel of limited usefulness during deployment on missions. On the whole, he had only slightly more screen time than apothecary Gordian, whom most players don't even remember. During the final battle, his Thunderhawk is shot down by Tyranids, and Martellus plays a rousing game of skullfucking Ork Lootas and avoiding random feral 'Nids for a year.

	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\|~~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.
