Jarlan Amadeus

Jarlan Amadeus is a member of Squad Temujin of the Tales of Loyalty series. He originally came from the Ultramarines Chapter, but for valorous deeds he was accepted into the Silver Knights.

Life is discipline. Duty is all that matters. These two sentences perfectly sum up Amadeus and his views on life. As a young child on Macragge, Amadeus was always fascinated by the Astartes and their doctrine. He grew up with tales of duty and sacrifice, but it was only when he saw the Primarch Roboute Guilleman on parade after a great military victory that he knew what he truly wanted in life. Inspired by the Primarch, he pushed himself to his limits and beyond, and for this he was rewarded by being admitted into the Ultramarines.

Amadeus served faithfully for over a century, proving himself to be steadfast and unyielding against the enemies of mankind. But it was on a planet in the Eastern Fringe where Amadeus truly showed the depths of his dedication. Orks had invaded the planet in the thousands and were attacking the Hives. His sergeant received orders to pull back and wait for reinforcements after three weeks of bloody engagements. Amadeus was going to follow the order, but he noticed a number of civilians had gathered together in a bunker. Many were wounded and unable to move, and Amadeus refused to leave them to the mercy of the Orks. Disobeying the order, he stood his ground against countless enemies for three days until reinforcement arrived. He was more dead than alive, but not a single Ork stepped foot into the room. He was going to be punished for his insubordination, but his tale reached the ears of the Silver Knights, who accepted him into their ranks.

Despite his strong front, Amadeus is often conflicted. He was given a great honor by his admission to the Knights, and yet he gained this by disobeying orders. He feels that he and his team are too few for a mission as important as recovering the reborn Senshi Esin. He has also shown disapproval of his comrade Fenrik Trygg, whose rough attitude and brash actions might remind him of his own insecurities.
