Grimaldus is a veteran of centuries of combat, but only in the past few decades has he borne the mantle of the Black Templars' High Chaplain. It is a responsibility that weighs greatly upon Grimaldus' shoulders, and he constantly strives to prove that he is worthy of the honour.?

格瑞馬度斯是一位征戰(zhàn)了數(shù)個世紀的老兵，但他承擔起黑色圣堂戰(zhàn)團至高牧師的職責僅僅是在幾十年之前。格瑞馬度斯肩上扛著極為沉重的職責，他也在不斷地努力證明自己配得上這份榮譽。

Grimaldus was inducted into the Reclusiam after the Battle of Fire and Blood, where his stoicism brought him to the attention of the then High Chaplain, Mordred. Unlike many of his brother Chaplains, Grimaldus preferred to inspire his men through deeds rather than through rhetoric. On those rare occasions when Grimaldus spoke, his voice commanded the attention of all around, the rarity of his speech ensuring not a single word went unheard. Grimaldus' oratory cut straight through his brothers' warrior-spirits and it was no surprise that, upon Mordred's death, the High Chaplain named Grimaldus his successor with his final breath.?

格瑞馬度斯是在血火之戰(zhàn)后被引入到隱修室當中的，他的堅忍引起了當時的至高牧師——莫德雷德的注意。不同于他的很多牧師兄弟，格瑞馬度斯更偏好通過實際行動而非修辭還激勵下屬們。在格瑞馬度斯講話的極少數(shù)情況中，他的聲音會引起周圍所有人的注意，而且他講話的罕見性確保講話內容沒有一個字會被忽視。格瑞馬度斯的演講直擊兄弟的戰(zhàn)士精神，在莫德雷德犧牲時，這位至高牧師不出所料地在彌留之際提名格瑞馬度斯作為自己的繼任者。

Grimaldus' trial by fire as High Chaplain was the Third War for Armageddon. With High Marshal Helbrecht combating the Orks in space, it fell to Grimaldus to lead the Black Templars' ground forces. During the Battle for Hive Helsreach, Grimaldus faced certain death against successive hordes of Orks, but his resolve never wavered; the shadow of his predecessor's legendary chronicle was a constant source of strength. Grimaldus' forces were defending the Temple of the Emperor Ascendant when the fighting grew so brutal that the temple's walls collapsed. It was believed that all had perished until Grimaldus crawled from the rubble bearing three holy relics. Apothecaries who later treated Grimaldus' wounds claimed that it was a holy miracle that he still lived. Ever since, Grimaldus has been a rallying point for the Black Templars. Even before the war ended, the citizens of Hive Helsreach honoured him with the title of Hero of Helsreach and bowed before his passing. No battle is so bleak that his appearance cannot turn the tide and rekindle the fire in his brothers' hearts. Then, an enemy who thought the battle won will find himself beset once more, smashed asunder by a tide of zealots whose arms have been lent fresh strength, Grimaldus at their head carving another victory for his Emperor.?

第三次阿瑪吉頓戰(zhàn)爭是對格瑞馬度斯至高牧師身份的審判考驗。由于至高元帥赫爾布萊切特要在太空中激戰(zhàn)獸人，所以領導黑色圣堂地面部隊的任務就落在了格瑞馬度斯身上。在海爾斯瑞奇巢都之戰(zhàn)中，格瑞馬度斯迎戰(zhàn)了接連不斷的獸人部落，他必將面對死亡，但他的決心從未動搖；前任至高牧師那傳奇般功勛編年史的影子是他源源不斷的力量來源。當時格瑞馬度斯的部隊正在保衛(wèi)一座帝皇臨世圣殿，戰(zhàn)斗是如此的激烈，以至于圣殿的高墻都崩塌了。人們一度認為無人從這場戰(zhàn)斗中生還，直到格瑞馬度斯帶著三件圣物從廢墟中爬出。之后為格瑞馬度斯治療傷口的藥劑師們聲稱：至高牧師能活下來就是一個神圣的奇跡。從此，格瑞馬度斯（總是）被黑色圣堂修士們簇擁著。甚至在戰(zhàn)爭結束前，海爾斯瑞奇的居民們就贈予了他“海爾斯瑞奇的英雄”這一頭銜，在他經過時，人們都會在他面前鞠躬致意。格瑞馬度斯的出現(xiàn)能扭轉戰(zhàn)局，重新點燃兄弟們心中的火焰，還沒有哪場戰(zhàn)斗凄慘到不能由他來改變。之后，認為已然取勝的敵人會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己再次被包圍，一群武器被賦予了全新力量的狂熱戰(zhàn)士們會將他們擊得粉碎，格瑞馬度斯會率領他們再次為帝皇奪得勝利。
