The '''Mentors''' (or '''Mentor Legion'''{{Fn|1}}) are a loyalist [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]].{{Fn|2}}

The Mentors are a secretive chapter, who prefer to work alone. They are untrusting of other chapters. Currently, they are in battle with [[Biel-Tan]] Craftworld [[Eldar]] and [[Orks]] of the [[Charadon]] System.{{Fn|2}} On their founding they were designated with the chapter number of 888, a number previously belonging to the [[Star Scorpions]] Chapter.{{Fn|3}} The Star Scorpions were a Chapter of the [[Twenty Fifth Founding]] and had the dual misfortune of producing redundant [[gene-seed]] and being devastated by warp entities after becoming lost in the [[warp]]. Although what exactly happened to the Chapter is unknown, the [[Emperor]] decreed the Chapter be considered dead. The gene-seed of the Star Scorpions survived, although the mutated gene-seed made [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] efforts to rebuild the Chapter futile.{{Cite This}}

There are two ways Imperial commanders use them on the battlefield when they are loaned to them. First the cadre element may simply be used as a powerful squad, gaining the benefits of their special equipment; alternatively, they may become leaders for other units. The latter is preferred by Imperial Guard commanders as the Elite Cadre make especially good leaders for units of normal warriors. {{Fn|3}}
