Tarkus
Tarkus is a Tactical Marine Sergeant in the Blood Ravens 4th Company. He is a veteran with over 150 years of experience in warfare, and is an expert tactician as well as a rock-solid second-in-command. Amongst his tactical marines, Tarkus is renowned for his confidence and steely demeanour in battle. Tarkus' native world is Calderis.
Tarkus was awarded Terminator Honours for his involvement in the assault on the Necron Catacombs of Kronus, where he and his squad repelled waves after waves of Necron forces to buy Captain Davian Thule time to plant the bomb that would end the Necron threat to the planet.
In Dawn of War II, Tarkus once again serves alongside Captain Davian Thule in his defence of the Aurelia sector.
