Icon of the Ultramarines
The Chosen of the Tetrarchy are those Space Marines who serve as the honour guard of the reestablished governing Tetrarchs of the Realm of Ultramar in the Era Indomitus.
They are drawn from the Ultramarines and all of their Successor Chapters and were created on the order of the resurrected primarch and Lord Commander of the Imperium Roboute Guilliman.
Guilliman intentionally wanted the Chosen of the Tetrarchy to come from all of the successors of his ancient Ultramarines Legion in the hope of fostering greater cooperation and familiarity between all the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes drawn from his own genetic lineage.
Each Tetrarch of Ultramar has their own unit of the Chosen of the Tetrarchy, each with a different name.
Each member of the Chosen bears a specially designed, richly decorated left pauldron for their power armour, which is inscribed with the personal sigil of the Tetrarch they serve.
