Adeptus Custodes

Bodyguards of the Empire

Legio Custodes

“These men are my bodyguards, their lives forfeit to the guarantee of my physical safety. Of their loyalty to me there shall be no question nor doubt. I, and I alone, shall have the authority to stand in judgement over them. No other commander shall they have in battle nor in service. None shall bar them from me and none shall hamper or stall their mission. So it is decreed!”
— Ancient declaration made by the Emperor of Mankind during the Age of Strife
