A Veteran Intercessor, who is often part of a Veteran Intercessor Squad, are Primaris Space Marines who have earned the coveted Veteran status in their Chapter and earned the right to serve in the elite 1st Company.
Since the Ultima Founding, Primaris Marines have wrought illustrious records as their tallies of victories have grown longer. Whether they were Firstborn Astartes who have crossed the Rubicon Primaris, were originally forged on Mars by Belisarius Cawl during the Ultima Founding or recruited directly by their Chapter, they now fight as part of that valiant brotherhood that is the 1st Company.
Veteran Intercessors, like other Veteran Marines, usually wear white helmets to indicate their status and the Crux Terminatus upon their power armour shoulder plate as their tactical role insignia. Veteran Intercessor sergeants bear red helmets with white stripes to designate their rank and status.
Veteran Intercessors can also take on the Assault Intercessor role when they engage in a close support rather than battleline capacity.
