What happened to Aramus "Captain Hairgel"?
SharKnight
Alright so I have heard many things about this subject so I wished to clear this out.
According to the wargear "Hammer of the unnamed" and because I assume the good ending for chaos rising was taken, Captain Hairgel became the captain of the 4rth company and Kyrass banished him to the eye of terror - which happened to be a mute point since Kyrass was a super heretic.
However I also heard that he supposedly was sent along thaddeus to the eye of terror on a crusade of redemption. Now if this was the case I would be originally upset and dissapointed. I disliked Retribution's messy and half assed storyline but this would be the cherry on top of the cake.
Now I chose the DOW3 forum to post this rather than DOW2 because it will all come to what we see in DOW3 to see what was about his fate and that of thaddeus and the rest of the 4rth company.
What do you guys think?

I'd be nice to see Commander N00Bgel (and all the other glorious names he's had) make a return. Would also be nice to see Diomedes turned into a Deadnought so Thule has someone to play Shield, Flamer, Chainsword with
SharKnight
Well thule could play with Jonah Orion, must admit it would be cool to have jhona turn into a Librarian dreadnought. And Yes, seriously Relic you better keep Hairgel with the good ending where he becomes 4rth company captain. He was always a man of few words but he has hidden dialogue in the Chaos rising files.

Wut? Where can I see/hear this dialog?
SharKnight
I think it's on youtube, you can also google it.
As a matter of fact when chaos rising was shown, you could see he talked on some missions - specially the one of angel gate - but relic cut the content.
No but seriously @relic and I mean SERIOUSLY! Make Hairgel's GOOD ENDING the canon one where he becomes captain of the 4rth company.
If he wasnt in Retribution then you can always say he was outside of the sector gathering the remaining Blood Ravens that where not corrupted by Kyrass.
Pretty please...?

Jonah dies in the canon ending of Retribution.

Why Hairgel when
"You have Captain Diomedes"

hairgel was forced on a crusade of redemption into the eye of terror with thaddeus. (canon ending involved them using nefarious means to achieve their goals) the other guys got out of it, somehow? I dont really know if this was touched upon at all, or if they just glossed over that because retribution was a rushed game, so they wouldnt have time to design a new cast of characters for the new campaign. practically no one ever returns from a redemption, and even if he does, he wont emerge from the eye until dawn of war 5 or so, when gabe is dead or close to it. who knows, maybe he'll come back to save the day in the last mission of the dow 3 campaign.
SharKnight
We see him lying on the ground just as we saw Angelos. For what we know he could had been left into a complete devastated mess. So entombing in a dreadnought wouldnt be out of the question.
Canon? it was pretty ambiguous, until now I and many others thought that he had been branded renegade by Kyrass alongside Angelos and that during retribution he was away with thaddeus rallying the remaining Blood Ravens that where not heretics to reinforce Angelos during Aurelia.
It can still be done, you know. And he doesnt need to be shown, just mention such fact that.
The only thing that implies he was a sentenced to go to the eye by one party is the Hammer of the nameless, which again I can choose to interpret that it was Kyrass who did so rather than Angelos.
And I find utter BS that he is sent on a penance crusade, specially when I got the ending where he is promoted the 4rth company captain. Why would they force such shenanigans after all the stuff we went throught? Retribution was already bad, is it going to be really even worse?
SharKnight
No thanks, he can go fetch some baneblades.
I mean, you literally went throught hell with captian Hairgel throught DOW2 and then they decided to write him out? What about the decisions that we as players took during chaos rising?
In my run he was promoted to 4th company captain, which made complete sense.
The way I always thought it happen was that Kyrass was the one that branded him renegade and sent him there but since he is with gabe angelos, he just flipped the finger to kyrass.
I wonder if @Kat_RE could pass on the message to the devs about it. It just feels wrong.

He totally needs to come back. It wasn't easy to resist the urge to use some of the more powerful corrupted gear and keep everyone pure but I pulled it off to get the "Best" ending where he gets promoted. Then retribution comes along and he's gone and "You have Captain Diomedes"
Piss off Diomedes, I want hairgel back.
I know it's petty, but if he's not in this, I'm not buying this game.

I hope he returns as a villain so i can kill him. I hate hairesy
SharKnight
same over here, I mean; we resisted an entire hivefleet from overtaking a subsector. Banished a greater demon of chaos and kept your battle brothers pure.
For what?
"Hurr durrr, meme diomedes next game while he was a dousche.."
and all you get is a piece of wargear that rubs it in your face.
Seriously relic? that was an insult!
Srsly, this is still ambiguous for Relic so it could still happen. The him being "banished" as a cover up to get close to the forces of Kyrass without rising suspicion and feeding special intel to Gabriel. OR to just round up the remaining Blood Ravens that had not succumbed to heresy.
I disagree with this.
Or honestly you would prefer BALDEALE instead?
