List of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War characters

This is a list of characters in Relic's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series of video games.

In the first Dawn of War game, Brother-Captain Gabriel Angelos is the commander of the Blood Ravens' 3rd Company. He carries a guilty conscience for destroying his homeworld of Cyrene (one of the recruiting worlds of the Blood Ravens) and agonizes over this continuously, though he does not often speak of it. Only his battle-brothers of the Blood Ravens truly understand his feelings on the matter. Gabriel himself, like most Imperials, distrusts aliens immensely; it is for this reason he shows incredible disdain for the Eldar in his encounters with their leader, Farseer Macha (though in the novels, his disdain for them gradually lessens). He has also grown up with Librarian Isador Akios, whom he trusts immensely. His trust was shattered when Isador defects to Chaos and steals the key to unlocking the Maledictum, a Chaos artifact containing a bound Daemon of Khorne, and Angelos is forced to personally execute him. Granted the potent Daemonhammer "God-Splitter" by Inquisitor Mordecai Toth, Angelos shatters the Maledictum and kills the intended recipient of its power, the sorcerer-turned-Daemon Prince Sindri Myr.

Captain Angelos makes his return in Dawn of War II. He appears throughout the single-player campaign in briefings, particularly right after the Tyranid invasion on Calderis, aboard the battle barge Litany of Fury (the same one present in Dark Crusade). He only appears as a playable character on the last mission, when the Blood Ravens have successfully injected the poison extracted from the Tyranid Gene Sample, and are clearing the remaining Tyranid forces on Typhon Primaris. In Retribution he goes toe to toe with Azariah Kyras, the treasonous Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens during his ascendance to daemonhood and is viciously beaten down; but if the player completes the Space Marines campaign, Angelos is rebuilt with extensive bionics and is promoted to Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens.

Angelos returns for Dawn of War III as the Space Marine Protagonist.

Captain/Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos is voiced by Paul Dobson in Dawn of War, Chaos Rising, Retribution, Brian Dobson in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and Alec Newman in Dawn of War III.
