The '''Captain-General''' is the rank given to the commander of the [[Adeptus Custodes]], the elite personal bodyguards of the [[Emperor]] who dwell within the [[Imperial Palace]] on [[Terra]].<sup>{{Fn|1</sup> }} As the highest authority within the Custodes, the Captain-General determines who may have access to the Emperor's body upon the [[Golden Throne]] and is the chief of security within the Imperial Palace. These two roles make the Captain-General of the Custodes an influential figure and often he is a member of the [[High Lords of Terra]].
