Squad Dynastes

Squad Dynasties, known as the Lords of Terra, was one of the original formations of the Custodian Guard.^[1]

First appearing in the Unification-era, its members were the sons and nephews of some of the Emperor's worst enemies and were taken by His defeated foes as punishment in the same manner as the first of their order, Constantin Valdor. They served as the Emperor's earliest bodyguards and advisers. They were commanded by Tribune Ra Endymion.^[1]

The only member confirmed to be alive by the end of the Horus Heresy was Amon Tauromachian^[2], though Ra was missing instead of dead.^[3b]
