Editing Silver Cataphracts (section)

In the days of the Argent, the Legion was founded on the ideals of brotherhood, fraternity, and sacrifice. Following knightly ideals, the Legion prided themselves on bringing quick victories through armored assault crushing all opposition in their wake. Celebrations of mighty achievements were the norm with lavish feasts. The effectiveness of the Legion was marred by a compelling sense to race to the defense of citizens and hold back when striking at enemy civilians. Even respect was given to Xenos enemies who could prove themselves worthy opponents. All of this passed into faded memory for the majority of the Legion once the Argent met their Primarch. 

The way of the Silver Cataphracts is to accept the loss of one's self. The elimination of an individual, and an acceptance that death is inevitable. At any time, any one can die, for any reason. Even the Emperor. 

Alexandri instinctively distrusts psycho-indoctrination, a process in which memories and thoughts are implanted in a short period into the mind of an aspirant. This allows for recruits to be trained with years of experience in a fraction of the time. However, gaps can arise as well memory loss before the process. The Silver Cataphracts focus on intensive training on their Homeworld of Rosskar, sending their prospective recruits through rigorous trials on its surface. The process is costly, and many of the aspirants sent through sometimes are not even compatible. Legionary Serfs are of exceptional quality in the Legion, and handily capable of serving beside the Marines.

The apprehension to psycho-indoctrination means it takes far longer to create a Silver Cataphract compared to other Legions.
