Tarkus

The fuck? We didn't have a damn Tarkus page yet? Well we do now. Update this shit Updating in progress...

Dawn of War

Tarkus is a Sergeant of the Blood Ravens chapter, and he's been in every war they've fought since the first Dawn of War. He's so fucking awesome he (wears a helmet in Retribution) just uses his awesome baldness to deflect bullets in the first two games. Also, he can be exceedingly loyal. Using chaos to fuck chaos up? That takes balls, and to not truly fall to chaos while using it? Cast-Iron Ferric balls, man. Cast-Iron Ferric balls. This occurs during the Dawn of War II games. He is also revealed to be The Ancient, a fairly (oh who the hell am I kidding, EXTREMELY) awesome strong and silent type character. The first time you find out who the Ancient is, you'll weep with the pure awesome baldness. After all: who actually thinks that overcoming daemonic influences and/or possession is a bad thing? (And Corn/Slaanesh/Nurgle/Tzeentch had better not come and 'correct' this.)

In Gameplay

In game, Tarkus is probably the second most versatile squad you can field next to Cyrus. His tactical advance makes him invincible, which, coupled with the artillery strike ability, makes him a walking ordnance beacon. Watch as he stands in the middle of an orbital bombardment without so much as a scratch.

Tarkus is also a master of grenade warfare, being able to throw unlimited grenades, and eventually, throw bunches of grenades.

He doesn't have the strongest guns, or the most effective explosives, or the best melee, but his Marines are the most vital part of your team. He will not die, he will mark artillery, and he will buff your entire team to unstoppable levels. Simply put, Sergeant Tarkus is the best Blood Raven in Dawn of War 2, bar none. Yes, that includes Davian Cool and Gabriel Angelos.

Canon

Who gives a Damn about "canon"? He's awesome, no two ways about it. And, thankfully, nothing has happened to him like, say, being equipped with a multi-laser biotic arm by C.S.Gotohell.
