	Also known as the '''Hetaeron''' (from ancient Greek ἑταῖροι, ''hetairoi'', "companions"), the Companions are what most would call as the [[Emperor\|Emperor's]] [[/d/\|BFF,]] [[Gay\|Friends with Benefits,]] [[My Little Pony\|Big Daddy E's super-secret Princess club.]] As you may already tell, the Companions are those [[Adeptus Custodes\|Custodes]] privileged enough to stay by the Emperor's side throughout the [[Great Crusade]]. There are only 300 of such Companions, each personally hand picked by the Emprah himself (and later by the Captain-General once the Emperor wasn't in a position to do it himself) and are thus the most skilled and ruthless of the Golden Bananas. While the Custodes themselves are already called the Bodyguards of the Emperor, they only protect the Imperial Palace. The Companions on the other hand are '''''<u>THE BODYGUARDS</u>'''''. No exceptions. You can find these chumps within the heart of the Imperial Palace. The most famous of the Companions is Constantin Valdor who is also a Captain-General to boot and the second closest BFF to the Emperor after [[Malcador the Sigillite]] himself.

	The Companions will not leave the Emperor's side unless under a direct order from the Big Guy Himself (Valdor got sent to Prospero, for instance), something that hasn't happened since He was enthroned upon the Golden Toilet after [[Horus\|FUCKING HORUS]] [[Horus Heresy\|had his little temper tantrum.]] Their duty is mentally and spiritually exhausting even for a Custodes, and so they are rotated out of service when the Captain-General judges that they have served long enough. Those who served with the Hetaeron Guard are likely to become Aquilan Shields, tasked to protect important individuals in the Imperium.

	The Companions take orders from no other body in the entirety of the [[Imperium of Man]], there are cases of them refusing to acknowledge direct orders from Lords of the Senatorum who do not sit on the High Thirteen ''(one case being the Grand Master of the [[Officio Assassinorum]], possibly the deadliest man on Terra)'' And they can even act against the High Lords of Terra and install new ones if it is within their remit to do so ''(like helping to depose [[Goge Vandire]] and telling [[Sebastian Thor]] in no uncertain terms that he would be Ecclesiarch or die)'' Only the [[High Lords of Terra\|Captain-General]] being of superior authority. In actuality most of the decisions made in times of conflict is passed down the [[Shield-Captain]] whose role is much more flexible and general.

	Hetaeron Guard are actually represented in 30k, being an Elite choice for Talons of the Emperor list.

	In means of equipment, Hetaeron can exchange their default [[Power weapon#Guardian Spear\|Guardian Spears]] for almost any weapon from Custodes arsenal, the only exception being HQ-only Paragon Spear. Your kinky veteran-bananas can get [[Power weapon#Solarite Power Gauntlet\|Solarite Power Talons]] to mince MEQ with S6 AP3 ''Shred and Master-crafted'' Specialist Weapons, Adrasite/Pyrrite Spears, Magisterium Vexilla for some buffs and Paragon Blades for '''S6 AP2 MURDEROUS STRIKE BLOODBATH AT I5/I6'''. And if they happen to come across some tanks, it is possible for them to do some RAPE using [[Power weapon#Solarite Power Gauntlet\|Solarite Power Gauntlets]], which deal S10 AP1 glorious master-crafted I1 DESTRUCTION. And you get bonus attack for 2 CCW, since Gauntlets ''aren't Specialist.'' And everyone can get a Praesidium Shield for 10 points. Enjoy your Bananas of Total Annihilation.

	By the way, don't forget that the whole squad can get Arae-Shrikes(auto-choice), Melta-bombs(pretty useless most of the time because solarite gauntlets) and Teleportation Trasponders (must-have for mass-deepstrike armies, totally free when Valdor is your Warlord).

	Current meta suggests bringing squads of Solarite Gauntlets together with Paragon Blades/Shields combo for maximum cheese. It's important to remember that shielded buddies don't get bonus attacks for 2 CCW, so don't give shields to your boxer-bananas. It is recommended to get 2-3 Paragon/Shield Custodes in front and leave 5-6 Boxers behind them. This way you'll get a balanced combo of well-protected AP2 on Initiative, followed by A LOT of S10 AP1 punches.
