That pretty much goes without saying.They were also probably rubbing their hands together in glee.
"We have a Loyal, Warp-resistant Astartes with zero corruption in our hands. We can get him to work for us for a few years before we cut him loose again. FU, Chaos! Bwuahaha."
Um, the Primarch wasn't a factor, and if a Space marine gets involved with chaotic corruption and displays strange warp-related feats then that is most definitely something the Inquisition might take an interest in.
Deathwatch is more of an expert Xenos-slayer organization.Individual space marines joining forces and getting de facto requisitioned by the Inquisition is a thing, and that whole thing called the Deathwatch exists.
I myself got the impression the Inquisitor wasn't "sold" on Titus being a heretic, but "the eye sleepeth not" and all that. He has to do his job and be thorough about it. Indeed, the presence of a Black Templar bodyguard might indicate he is one of the more reasonable Inquisitors, hence how he calmly explained the matter to Titus (without hostility) and the terrible repercussions of defying the Inquisition.Leandros should've reported the issue to the Chapter Chaplain which... I find hard to believe wasn't a thing on the planet since it was a considerable deployment of forces, both of the Ultramarines and later on even other Chapters. Plus the Inquisitor felt compelled to blackmail and threaten innocents (Lieutenant Mira, Sergeant Sidonius and the rest of the Ultramarine Company) if Captain Titus did not comply. I'm not sure how the Ultramarines feel about threatening obvious innocents, but there are other chapters that find such theatrics frown inducing behavior at best.
It's also wild seeing a pair of Black Templars are somehow functioning as the Inquisitors goonsquad. I can't imagine the Inquisitor being all that compelling in exacting effective authority over the Black Templars to open fire on the Ultramarines if they don't comply. They'd probably get intentionally distracted by taking the shuttle they just arrived on for a 'test flight' or something and leave the Inquisitor behind.
Or got perma-lost in the warp.
At least it wasn't the Grey Knights -- they'd have killed everyone involved for secrecy reasons.Leandros should've reported the issue to the Chapter Chaplain which...

That depends on Chapter, though. First Founding chapters can basically do as they please, so... if you have problems with Inquisition, just phone the Space Wolves!
As long as you aren't a Dark Angel.
Yeah...especially after the Dark Angels (and Grey Knights) helped assault Fenris and allow Magnus to invade the planet.
Also a good reason to bring Russ and/or Khan back.
