This article is for players looking for the confirmed Dawn of War 4 actors and the characters they portray. The table below follows Deep Silver's official announcement rather than fan databases or voice comparisons. Character descriptions use the publisher's story material and avoid revealing roles that have not been explained.

The announcement names 16 performers or role groups. It should not be treated as a guarantee that the list covers every campaign character, multiplayer unit voice, narrator, or localization cast. Deep Silver presents it as an introduction to the ensemble, not final credits.
Returning Dawn of War characters
Brian Drummond as Gorgutz
Brian Drummond returns as Warboss Gorgutz, one of the series' most recognizable Ork leaders. Gorgutz appears in the opening story setup as the Ork force that ambushes the Blood Ravens above Kronus. His presence connects the new campaign to earlier Dawn of War conflicts without making the story a direct continuation of every previous plot.
For players interested in how the character's army works rather than the performance, our Dawn of War 4 Orks guide covers the confirmed Waaagh! system, armed buildings, inexpensive expansion, and Guzcutta's role.
Steve Blum as Cyrus
Steve Blum voices Cyrus, who returns as a leader of the Blood Ravens. The official story material says Cyrus and Chief Librarian Jonah Orion travel to Kronus to recruit new aspirants and rebuild their Chapter. The Ork ambush interrupts that mission and brings both forces to the planet's surface.
Aaron Neil as Jonah Orion
Aaron Neil plays Chief Librarian Jonah Orion. Jonah's presence alongside Cyrus establishes the Blood Ravens leadership at the centre of the returning Chapter's campaign. Deep Silver has not published a mission-by-mission account of his abilities or playable appearances.
New and newly identified characters
Alistair Petrie as the Lion
The cast announcement officially lists Alistair Petrie as the Lion. This is a major character confirmation for Dark Angels followers, but the casting alone does not establish how many missions feature him, whether he is directly playable, or how his appearance affects the larger Warhammer 40,000 timeline. Those questions should remain open until the publisher reveals more or the campaign launches.
Dark Angels leadership
Alex Jordan voices Chaplain Ezrael, while Ashley Zhangazha voices Company Master Astoran. The Dark Angels make a critical intervention when Imperial forces on Kronus call for aid, and players command both Dark Angels and Blood Ravens during the Space Marines campaign. For the gameplay distinction, see the Blood Ravens vs Dark Angels guide.
Adeptus Mechanicus ensemble
Richard Reed voices Marshal Sek-Ix-23, Jess Nesling voices Potentia-Delta-9, and Ben Whitehead voices Magos Dominus Nulpherus-1. Their faction has discovered a Necron complex beneath Kronus and initially struggles to identify whether it is a tomb or a prison. The cast establishes all three as story figures, but it does not prove that every named character is a selectable multiplayer Commander.
The distinction matters because KING Art Games describes competitive Commanders as generic faction units outside the campaign. Our Commander guide separates named story roles from confirmed multiplayer rules.
Necrons and Orks
James Alexander voices Chronomancer Thothmek, the first confirmed Necron Commander, while the official Necron preview identifies Ahmnok as a second playable Commander. Joshua Manning plays Beastboss Guzcutta, a new Ork rival who begins on foot and later unlocks a Squigosaur mount. Chris Tester supplies additional Ork voices.
What the cast list confirms about the story
The cast announcement reinforces several source-backed conclusions. The campaign includes returning Blood Ravens leaders, Gorgutz, a Dark Angels intervention, a substantial Adeptus Mechanicus expedition, and a Necron conflict centred on a hidden power beneath Kronus. The Lion's casting also confirms his presence even though the scope of that appearance remains undisclosed.
Dawn of War IV takes place roughly 200 years after Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. The Great Rift has divided the galaxy and left Kronus—and some Blood Ravens—stranded. KING Art Games and Black Library author John French built four separate faction campaigns that connect to one overarching story. The announced 70-plus missions can be played solo or with one friend.
Those facts provide context, not a complete plot summary. A character appearing in the cast does not reveal survival, allegiance, mission count, boss status, or multiplayer availability. Treating credits as spoilers would go beyond what Deep Silver has announced.
Are all of these actors in every language?
The announced list describes the English-language cast. Steam currently lists full audio only for English, while 13 languages receive interface and subtitle support. Localization availability can change, so players should verify the language table on Steam before purchase rather than assuming every subtitle language has a separate dub.
What remains unconfirmed
- The complete end-credit cast and every minor or multiplayer unit role.
- Whether every previously known character is voiced by a returning performer.
- The full narrative role, mission count, and playable status of the Lion.
- How Engram and Buzzsnap fit into the four faction campaigns.
- Whether additional full-audio languages will be announced.
- Performance details that would reveal campaign spoilers.
The reliable answer is the official roster above: Dawn of War 4 combines returning franchise voices with a large new ensemble. This page will be updated if Deep Silver publishes additional actors or final credits before the September 17 release.
