The Adeptus Custodes - Warhammer 40,000 Tribute

The Adeptus Custodes - Introduction + Background:A tribute this time to the Adeptus, or Legio, Custodes. I was in a bit of a hurry so got this one together pretty quick. All the information is obtained from Lexicanum.com, so if you want to argue with someone over the facts, try arguing with those guys!The Adeptus Custodes (also The Emperor's Guard or Custodians) are the guardians of the Imperial Palace and the Golden Throne, as well as being the personal bodyguard to the Emperor. A small elite of three hundred Custodes, known as the Companions, form the Emperor's personal bodyguard and never leave his side. Due to the vast size of the Imperial Palace, the Custodes always act as a defensive army, although technically they should never see action unless Terra or the Imperial palace is invaded. It is the Adeptus Custodes that decide who may enter the throne room of the Emperor, and when. The Custodes is a department of the Adeptus Terra, the Imperial government, but its members are answerable only to the Emperor and their own leaders. The organization's leader carries the title of Captain-General, and due to the importance of the Adeptus Custodes he often holds a position in the Senate of the High Lords of Terra.There is no set date for the inception of the Adeptus Custodes, but it is known that they have been active since before the Great Crusade. It was from the Emperor's original group of bodyguards that the first genetically enhanced warriors, superior to all other space marines, were created during the unification wars on Terra. During the Great Crusade, the Custodes always kept a contingent with the Emperor for his protection, but also travelled individually as envoys. Since the Emperor's internment in the Golden Throne, the Adeptus Custodes have taken a more limited role as protectors of the Imperial Palace.
