==History==
The early history of the Librarians is chequered with mistrust and intrigue. The Librarian training schemes were created by [[Magnus the Red]], a powerful psyker in his own right, along with some of the other Primarchs[[Sanguinius]] and [[Jaghatai Khan]]<sup>10</sup>, although the rest were completely against using psykers in the Space Marine legions, most notably [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]], [[Corax]], [[Rogal Dorn]] and [[Mortarion]].<sup>2</sup>
The first Librarian experiments were sanctioned by the Emperor. They were seen as a good way of controlling the random development of psychic powers among Space Marines. Magnus and his fellow pro-psyker Primarchs then asked the Emperor to allow recruitment of psychic individuals into the ranks of the legions. The Emperor accepted, and the Librarians became some of the most loyal troops to the Emperor. The debate over Librarians came to a head when Mortarion, Leman Russ and others accused Magnus of sorcery. The Emperor summoned a meeting at [[Nikaea]] in an effort to provide a final solution to the Librarian issue.<sup>2</sup>
