Ultramarines (novel)/Heartwarming


 * Chief Librarian Varro Tigurius is set apart from other Ultramarines because of his Psychic Powers, and does not fully share in the brotherhood of the chapter. During The Chapter's Due he exerts himself terribly to keep endless daemon hordes at bay and feels the isolation keenly, near to the point of despair...until Chapter Master Calgar poignantly reaffirms his trust and friendship with him.
 * The way the Unfleshed, despite all their hardships, still bring food to the members of their tribe who are too weak to hunt, and the way these children, horribly mutated and thrust into a litteral hell, still maintain their own shrine to the Emperor is quite touching.
