All Rogue Trader Companions

Discover all 13 companions in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader! Learn their origins, classes, and how to build your perfect party with our expert guide.

Alright, let's talk about the crew you'll be taking with you in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Having the right companions can make all the difference, and thankfully, the game gives you a solid roster to choose from. You'll end up with a total of 13 companions, each with their own unique background (Origin) and starting specialization (Doctrine or Class). Some join you right at the start, while others will show up as you progress through the game. To help you figure out who's who and who fits your playstyle, we've put together a handy table.

This table breaks down each companion's name, their origin story, and their starting class. Use this to plan out your ideal party composition and even get some ideas for your own character build.

It's worth noting that some companions have origins that are exclusive to them, meaning your own player character can't start with that same background. For example, Pasqal and the Aeldari companions have unique origins. So, if you're a fan of xenos, you'll find some interesting allies!

As you can see, there are thirteen companions in total, with three of them being tied to your conviction path (Iconoclast, Dogmatic, or Heretical). Most of these companions will join your crew pretty early on, giving you plenty of time to level them up and customize them however you like. Their base class is usually pretty set in stone, as it defines their core role and playstyle within the party.
