Premise

In Space Hulk: Deathwing, the player is a Librarian of the Dark Angels 1st company of Space Marines.[1] Librarians, unlike other Space Marines, can use the power of the Warp, also known as the The Immaterium.[2] The Librarians use traditional weaponry of the Space Marines, such as the Bolter and Power Swords, but also use their psychic might against their foes.[1] One such psychic ability that some librarians can use is Hellfire, which sends fire coursing through the enemy. As such, Librarians are highly respected by their brethren.
