In a game yesterday, my oponent said i was not allowed to target his chaplain in close combat because he was part of the unit of death company. But in the rulebook it states that Independent characters can be targetted in close combat, unless with a retinue. Do the death company count as a retinue for the chaplain?

For a normal Chaplin, you are correct, they are Independent characters and you can target them.

If he was using Lemartes, he is an upgrade character and thus cannot be targeted.

So need to check what he was using.

Do upgrade characters not count as unique? The rules are unclear about them. Thank you for the help by the way.

Sorry, I've just read the page in the rulebook. It makes sense now.

If it has the Independent Character Rule, then it can be targeted in CC separately, if it does not have the IC rule, then it can not be targeted.

Upgrade Characters /= Independent Characters.

"Unique" simply means you can only have one.
