==History==
Tutelaries were first used by the [[Thousand Sons]] nearly a century before the end of the [[Great Crusade]]. Originally believed to be fragments of the [[Warp|Primordial Creator]] given form by the will of individuals to whom they were bound, they were normally invisible to non-[[psyker]]s.{{Fn|1a}}
A Tutelary's link with their master helped enhance the use of their [[psychic]] powers a hundredfold{{Fn|1f}}, and the Thousand Sons used them for all manner of tasks, from something as mundane as cleaning their [[bolter]]s{{Fn|1d}} to assisting them in psychic surveys of the [[Warp|Aether]].{{Fn|1a}} [[Othere Wyrdmake]] of the [[Space Wolves]] was shocked when introduced to the use of Tutelaries, and [[Fenrisian Wolf|Fenrisian wolves]] became aggressive in their presence.{{Fn|1d}}
During the [[Battle of Prospero]], the true nature of the Tutelaries was revealed as they attacked the Space Wolves with gleeful spite.{{Fn|1e}}. Some attacked their Thousand Sons masters as well, including [[Dtoaa]], which devoured its master, [[Phael Toron]], when he lost control.{{Fn|1g}} Some of the Thousand Sons remained bound to their Tutelaries and continued to use them after the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|2}}
When Ahriman's party first witnessed the [[yokai]] of the [[Torquetum]], [[Sanakht]] believed that they were powered by entities similar to their tutelaries. When [[Lucius (Emperor's Children)|Lucius]] questioned what they were, [[Menkaura]] explained that they were warp entities that they mistakenly thought were there to help them but turned on them when the Space Wolves attacked Prospero. [[Lucius]] was not surprised, describing them as akin to a wolf that cannot be tamed.{{Fn|4}}
