Gadriel vs. Leandros:

In Space Marine 1, Titus had Leandros, an Ultramarine that followed the Codex Astartes to a fault! There wasn't much of a character arc to be found. Leandros is very by-the-book and remains unchanged! He even remains steadfast after several hundred years, so nothing happens with him. It's more a result of a stubborn person.

However, Gadriel evolves throughout Space Marine 2. His doubts become less and his loyalty grows. What makes him memorable is that he doesn't get blindsided with this new kind of loyalty! There's a bit of an arc, making his performance incredibly enjoyable! He ends up being the loyal type of Space Marine many fans want, proving to have both impressive loyalty and a special sense of dedication. He’s shown that being ride-or-die isn’t just blind! He makes his opinions heard, including the notion that the actions of this squad may go against the Codex Astartes, a truly strong military group with long-standing values! And yet he's still totally willing to be ride-or-die with the squad. This is not just for Titus.
