High Marshal (Black Templars)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Helbrecht, current High Marshal of the Black Templars
The High Marshal is the Chapter Master of the Black Templars Chapter.[1]
He is the commander in chief and responsible for the progress of each Crusade and must uphold the honour of the Emperor and his Chapter. The High Marshal is steeped in the lore of the Black Templars and is the living manifestation of the Chapter, knowledgeable in all its secrets. Ultimately he is the only one who knows the exact number of Black Templars active in the Galaxy.[1]
Further more the High Marshal is one of the most autonomous commanders in the Imperium, decreeing where his warriors are deployed without having to justify himself before the High Lords of Terra.[Needs Citation]
