A [[Blood Ravens\| Blood Raven]] [[Assault Squad\| assault marine sergeant]], Thaddeus is a confirmed hairetic, almost to the level of [[Blood Ravens Force Commander\| Commander Hairgel]]. He is the first recruit from the hive world Meridian in centuries, having been drawn from the underhive gangs; this may in fact explain his ridiculous hairdo.

	Serving in the commander's strike force, he is notably the youngest member, being only 80 or so when the events of [[Dawn of War II]] occur. (And as you can see, "young" is relative given he's old enough for a bus pass in ''our'' world.) This means that he spends a lot of time discussing what it's like to become one with the chapter, and acts as the naive new guy, in contrast to the cynicism of [[Cyrus]] and [[Avitus]]. Opinions vary on the quality of his speeches, given that they lack the [[Grimdark\|grimdark]] of Avitus or the [[Manly Marines\|manliness]] of Tarkus.

The common assumption is that he was sent alongside Hairgel into exile, or on a crusade of penitence into the Eye of Terror.

	If cannon, Thaddeus's betrayal shows just how devious the minions of Chaos are. [[Jonah Orion\|They did not brute force their way into his mind]], [[Avitus\|nor did they shatter his understanding of the galaxy]] or [[Cyrus\|reinforce a cynical worldview]], and they brought no [[Tarkus\|seductive trinkets]]. Instead, they weaponized all Thaddeus cared for: his brothers, his family, the chapter and all he had been raised to value as a Space Marine were threatened and in a moment of weakness, he saw the opportunity to save them all and took it.

	When confronted with the reality of his actions, he was hit with the truth his sacrifices meant nothing, that his brothers were stronger than he thought. Thaddeus reacted with absolute unflinching denial, desperately clinging onto the idea that his damning actions held some merit to the chapter at large. Thaddeus did not die as a Space Marine, but as his brothers would see him in his weakest moments. Exactly as Chaos saw him on Typhon. Nothing more than a reckless child, too attached to emotional and inconsequential abstracts, too in love with his humanity to ever have true focus on his duties. Thaddeus died loving his brothers above everything else. Even above sanity.

	Thaddeus is relatively good at melee, and with the right build can be made invulnerable for a while while assault jumping on everything. This naturally becomes even more effective when he is given a good suit of terminator armor and a thunder hammer/storm shield combo, which also aids his staying power. Because Primarch difficulty turns marines into guardsmen, given how everyone in your squad dies the moment an enemy bops them on the head, making melee combat very ill-advised, it is viable to spec Thaddeus for short-ranged combat. By equipping him with grenades or satchel charges and flamers, having him funnel enemy troops into a single area by using his assault jump, and then throwing explosives at them while they're still reeling then cut down the survivors en masse with your flamer (And you gain another one by getting his veteran upgrade); Thaddeus can be an effective 1-shot ambush unit.

	Thaddeus's main drawback is that he is incredibly fragile for a melee unit, and higher difficulties will lead to him getting murdered by just about everything, since he can't tank worth a damn. In addition, he doesn't get the ability to use items for energy in [[Chaos Rising]], which gimps him even more. On the whole, Cyrus, Hairgel, and [[Davian Thule]] are far better at dealing with enemies in cover, and the latter two are far more capable in melee as well. Like Avitus, a perfectly adequate unit that is outclassed by cheese.

	Another point of view: In Terminator armor and with his melee tree upgraded in Chaos Rising, his strike becomes a short range teleport explosion that gibs and kills everything including building and tanks. With his berserker trait he can spam this attack out four times in a row and the only thing that barely survives that is a end-level boss. If you don't want to mess around with Cyrus unmanly cloak-and-proximity-mines bullshit. Take Thaddeus for shock and awe.

	Thaddeus remains much the same in [[Chaos Rising]], showing his love for the common man by gaining corruption if not deployed on a mission to save the hab-spires of Meridian. If he ends up betraying your squad, he reveals that he made a bargain with [[Ulkair]] to allow the Litany of Fury to triumph against the hive mind, and attempts to "save" you by jumping on top of your heads and inserting a chainsword into your orifices. The former portion of this is almost certainly bullshit, as [[Jonah Orion]], who fought directly against the hive mind, noted that he felt no daemonic presence and that it was entirely the work of a specially engineered bio-toxin that slayed it. Which means that Chaos duped him into thinking his bargain was what led you to victory and took advantage of how he was too naive to realize he had been tricked.

	Yet another point of view: Chapter's Fury allows Thaddeus to repeatedly pull off abilities within a span of seconds in a short burst.
