==The Astartes==
'''Lord Commander''' was one of the titles given to the members of the [[Astartes]] in charge of a [[Chapter ]] formation during the [[Great Crusade]]{{Fn|1}}.
In the [[Emperor's Children]], for example, each of the Company Captains within the legion was assigned and reported directly to a specific Lord Commander. The Emperor's Children were taught to lead by example, and it was expected of Astartes to emulate their superior officers in the quest to become the perfect warriors. In this way the Company Captains reflected the beliefs of their Lord Commanders, and in turn passed these traits to the Sergeants and Initiates under them. {{Fn|2}}
