[[ImageFile:CustodianVenetari.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Venetari Venatari Squad]]The '''Custodian Venatari''' are one of the warrior-castes within the [[Adeptus Custodes]] and are jump-infantry, equipped with winged [[Jump Packjump pack]]s known as [[Auramite Pinion]]s.{{Fn|1}}
Often referred to as the [[Emperor]]'s ‘Hunting Eagles’, the Venatari are specialists in neutralizing any threats to him, from amidst the sprawling towers and spire-tops of the [[Imperial Palace]]{{Fn|1}}. Vaunted as a high honour among the Legio Custodes, the role of Custodian Venatari is reserved for a scant few veterans of the [[Blood Games]], with the proven skill to master the rare and sophisticated flight system and [[archaeotech]] weapons Venatari wield.{{Fn|2}}
In battle, Custodian Venataris dual-wield a [[Tarsus Buckler]] and archaeotech [[Kinetic Destroyer]], as well as [[Plasma Grenade|plasma]]s and [[Krak Grenadekrak grenade]]s. Some also go into battle with a close-ranged [[Venatari Lance]]. For protection, they wear [[Auramiteauramite]] armor reinforced with [[Refractor Fieldrefractor field]]s.{{Fn|1}}
