Few were ever so honoured among the Space Marine Legions and given less cause to betray a father than they. Given the plauditsand accolades accorded them, few could doubt that they were the embodiment of what the Emperor intended the Legiones Astartes to be: noble in action and aspect, excelling in all matters, strong, civilised, firm of purpose and loyal to the core. From this height they descended in treachery to the lowest and vilest of creatures, enslaved to pride and consumed by desires that no natural power could fulfil. The history of their deeds before their fall is not simply a history of what they were and what they  \nachieved, but as with others that turned traitor, a history of how they created their own doom, for as the ancient texts say “pride goeth before destruction”, and seldom has this proverb been more apt than in the case of the IIIrd Legion of the Space Marines.  \nBetrayal changed the Emperor’s Children beyond recognition, their quest for perfection became a hunger for excess, and the finally balanced order of the Legion’s structure twisted until it shattered. These changes and horrors were yet to come when they came to Isstvan III. At that moment the skin of the past still held in place over the corruption beneath. What follows reflects the history and structure of the Emperor’s Children as it was for much of the Great Crusade up to the Isstvan III atrocity.  \norigins: The marTial BroTherhood  \nThe IIIrd Legion was created alongside their brother Legions during the latter phases of the Unification Wars on Terra, with many of its first recruits drawn from the courtsand blood vassal populations of Europa. The nobles of Europa selected the finest of their youth and offered them to the Emperor as tribute and penance for their previous defiance after their systematic humiliation in battle at the hands of the Thunder Regiments. Among them were sons drawn from each noble family, a fact apocryphally said by some to have given the Legion its lasting name, reaffirmed in later years by its Primarch. Of this tithe some gave in grudging tribute, thought of as little more than hostages, while others co-operated with the zeal of true converts—House Loculus of Komarg is said for example to have sent all of their sons at the time of their capitulation, and to have given the first born of each generation thereafter to the Legion willingly. In later decades other Terran dynasties followed the example of Europa, filling the ranks ofthe IIIrd Legion with the flower of Terran youth which seemed well-matched with the aristocratic blood of its initiates, forming a martial brotherhood whose ancestry in war stretched back into lost ages.  \nMuch is still extant in documentation of this Legion’s founding, and from the data it is apparent that the mark of the Legion’s gene-seed and its conditioning produced warriors with finely sculpted physiques, a noble bearing, and finely controlled thought processes, with psychological tendencies driven towards personal achievement and competition to prove individual superiority. The only abnormality registered was the occasional incidence of albinism, and a shift in iris colour to violet in some recruits. Such minor effects of the gene-seed implantation and conditioning process did nothing to distract from the aura of aesthetic refinement that clung to the IIIrd Legion, even in the first years, and they were held up as an archetype tobe lauded and by whom others were judged.
