Character Synopsis[]

The Adeptus Astartes (often simply called Space Marines or even Angels of Death) are the mightiest of The Emperor of Mankind's warriors and are guardians of the human race. They serve as soldiers to The Imperium of Man and typically operate mobile strike forces that pertake in extremely dangerous missions, suhc as lightning raids behind enemy lines, infiltration, and tunnel fighting.

Space Marines are created through the genetic material of the Primarchs and each gene seed derives itself from a specific Primarch. The original gene seeds used to create Space Marines were initially deadly and unstable but after The Emperor worked with Terran scientists, they became more stable and safe for use.
