Companions of the Emperor — gold of the Throne Room

Homeworld

Motto

“We are the Emperor's blade.”

Colours

Burnished gold

The Adeptus Custodes are not legion or chapter — they are companions. Wrought one at a time by the Emperor's own hand from the finest Terran youths, each Custodian is a singular masterwork. While the Astartes were forged for war, the Custodes were forged for Him alone. For ten thousand years they paced the Throne Room. Now Roboute Guilliman has loosed them upon the wider galaxy, and the gold of Terra walks again. Pilgrim, if you would stand the watch, speak your oath below.
