Martellus is a Blood Ravens Space Marine from the Warhammer 40.000 universe, more specifically from the game Dawn of War II.

Bio[edit | edit source]

As a Tech Marine, Martellus' main duty lies in maintaining the vehicles and other wargear of his chapter - be it aboard the relative safety of a strike cruiser or while under fire in the midst of a battlefield. He served as a technological and tactical advisor to the player's squad during the Tyranid invasion of sub-sector Aurelia. The latter notably saw Martellus getting his Thunderhawk gunship shot from right underneath his armored ass on the planet Typhon, forcing him to spent the better part of a year dealing with the local Orkz by himself until he was rescued by the Force Commander and his merry men in Chaos Rising.

He is upgraded to a fully playable character in Dawn of War II: Retribution, but doesn't play any major role in the story other than to point the player towards the next teleportarium. Rest assured, having a tech marine in your squad is fairly convenient if you plan to make use of vehicles, and Martellus' ability to drop turrets like other people drop smokes also makes him useful in defensive situations.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Martellus debuted in 8chanmania XC. Although he accused his first opponent, Master D of tech heresy, this did not prevent him from turning the rather unwilling Führer into a "gift for the chapter" - a fate which also befell his second opponent in the form a Jockey. He went on to throw Yuki (100% OJ) out of the the quarter finals, but then suffered the ultimate embarrasment by having Cultist-chan of all the people kick his power-armored rear.

Returning for 8chanmania XCIII, Martellus won an angreeable first round and stole the bandana of Bill Rizer, but his attempt to acquire the "wargaming figurine" Chip Hazard for the chapter were met with abysmal failure.

Though not directly participating in 8chanmania XCVIII, he and his superior Indrick Boreale appeared as the enemies of the 80s Noise Marine and the Goff Rokka in an aftershow match following 8chanmania XCVIII. Although their biological augmentations and armor was supposed to field them from dangerously high noise levels, they did little to protect them when the Marine and the Rokka began a guitar duet that was loud enough to shatter more than just their eardrums.
