Grimaldus is a luminary of the Imperial faith, and many brothers consider him invincible due to his incredible resilience during the Battle of Hell's End. Grimaldus is accompanied by a group of servitors known as the Senobites, who carry holy relics into battle. Grimaldus wields a plasma pistol and a relic-infused crozius in combat.
Merek Grimaldus, known as the Hero of Helsreach, is a spiritual icon to his fellow Space Marines, representing the selfless endurance they all strive for. When the Helsreach Hive on Armageddon was overrun by Orks, the High Chaplain held his ground until the walls and roof collapsed around him. Believed dead for several days, he emerged from the wreckage carrying three divine relics, which his retinue of servitor servants now carries with them into battle.
