Lemartes succumbed to the Black Rage while the Blood Angels were preparing to deploy against orks on Hadriath XI. Like all members of a Death Company, his only options were to fall in battle, or, in the unlikely event he survived, to be executed by High Chaplain Astorath. Yet after the battle, when he was taken to the company's field Apothecarion, Lemartes insisted that he was in control of himself. Astorath hesitated , because Lemartes was clearly in the grip of the Rage, yet he was still coherent and able to restrain himself from attacking his own brothers. Astorath made the incredible decision to send Lemartes in stasis back to Baal, to be thoroughly examined by the Sanguinary Priests.

当圣血天使准备在Hadriath XI对抗兽人时，雷马尔特斯不再抵抗黑怒。如同死亡连的所有兄弟一样，他唯一的目标是在战斗中牺牲，倘若他侥幸存活，那就接受至高牧师阿斯托瑞思（机仆：冷酷者就是所谓“ba的牧师头子”）的处决。然而当战斗结束后，当他被送到战团的战地医疗会（机仆：药剂师的管理部门）时，雷马尔特斯坚称他还能控制住自己。阿斯托瑞思也在疑惑，因为雷马尔特斯明显已经陷入了黑怒，但他仍然有条理，而且能控制住自己不去攻击战团的兄弟们。阿斯托瑞思做出了一项惊人的决定:把雷马尔特斯放入静滞场送回巴尔，由圣血牧师们进行全面检查。

Every test the Sanguinary Priests ran showed the same startling conclusion: Lemartes had been struck by the Rage, yet his willpower was keeping it in check, a thing unheard of in the entire history of the chapter. They warned Astorath that it would be impossible for Lemartes to stay in control forever, so Astorath offered him his unique role as leader of the Death Company.

圣血牧师们进行的每项测试都揭示出一个相同而惊人的结论：雷马尔特斯已经陷入了黑怒，但他的意志力抑制住了黑怒，在战团的整段历史上，这是前所未闻的。圣血牧师们警告阿斯托瑞思：雷马尔特斯不可能永远控制住自己，所以阿斯托瑞思给予了雷马尔特斯一个特殊的角色——死亡连的领袖。

Under his guidance, those Blood Angels lost to the Rage fight like heroes of legend, winning some measure of redemption before they fall. Between engagements, Lemartes is returned to stasis to protect his battle-brothers from the Rage. Some whisper that Lemartes's eventual fall to the Rage is inevitable, while to others he is a sign of hope that perhaps other Blood Angels can also master their curse.

在他的带领下，迷失于黑怒中的圣血天使们如同传说中的英雄一般作战，在他们陨落之前赢取了救赎的措施。无需交战时，雷马尔特斯将回到几。静滞场中来保护他的战斗兄弟不受（他）黑怒的伤害。有些人私下认为雷马尔特斯最终也会不可避免地堕入黑怒，其他人则认为他是一个希望的象征，意味着也许其他圣血天使也能克服他们的诅咒。
