[[Image:Gyrfalcon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A Jetbiker of the Kataphraktoi {{PAGENAME}} with a Gyrfalcon-pattern Jetbike]]The '''Kataphraktoi{{PAGENAME}}''' are one of the warrior-castes within the [[Adeptus Custodes]].
The Kataphraktoi served as the fast attack and reconnaissance units of the Custodes, operating most frequently in '''[[Agamatus Jetbike Squadron]]s''' or [[Vertus Praetor]]s{{Fn|2}}. In battle these formations would behave as the cavalry units of old: raiding the enemy, exploiting weak points, and acting as special response units. The Kataphraktoi also operate the Custodes fighters and gunships.{{Fn|1}}
