Even before the onset of the Heresy, the Iron Hearts experienced the full scope of death and destruction between Astartes fighting Astartes.

	Less than one-in-a-thousand godsends, the ~~Aurelian~~ achieve perfect synthesis of man and machine, arising from the implantation as metallic demigods. Their skin a radiant hue of electrum, these enhanced Astartes stride through the thickest of and most punishing volumes of firepower, laying their foes low with retinal blasts of searing ~~volkite~~ energy and crumpling Terminator armour bare-handed. Treasured beyond measure, these chosen few are revered as the greatest sons of Rubinek, and only they may sit at council with his holy spirit in the halls of the Great Monolith.

	A rare blessing, Steelborn are those to whom the ancient technology of the Monolith adheres with extraordinary ease. More ~~anarcheotech~~ than Astartes, these Marines are immediately identifiable as something utterly removed from their brothers. Their skin is a sheath of regenerating plasteel, their joints reinforced with adamantine servo-thrusters. ~~Cords of metallic~~ reinforcement twine through their muscles, granting them extraordinary strength, and internal targeting systems worked into their irises constantly feed tactical information into their brains. In some cases, the Steelborn even develop more advanced adaptations - personal forcefield emitters, palm-mounted energy weapons, and clandestine monomolecular blades have all been reported among Steelborn Marines. In a few exceptionally rare cases, ~~Steelborn of the Iron Hearts~~ have been blessed with the ability to project a searing ~~volkite~~ pulse from their eyes.

	Most initiates that survive the bonding process are Bronzeborn. Though enhanced in many ways beyond any standard human, the Bronzeborn are by no means true Astartes, a crucial error in their metabolization of the Monolith's technology ~~causing~~ a nullification of many Space Marine traits. They are strong and enduring, but not nearly to the extent of a true Space Marine, and they usually lack most of the supplementary organs and abilities that define an Astartes. Pale and lean, they tend to be highly vulnerable to infection, and spend much of their time in sealed environments or suits. They serve a support and auxiliary role within the Legion, more than a match for any Guardsman~~, not~~ not nearly of the same caliber as a true Space Marine.

	The Iron Hearts Legion is an army of cyborgs, their faulty gene-seed bolstered - and, in many ways, improved - by the usage of esoteric Golden Age technology. The process of implanting this mystical ~~anarcheotech~~ into a human body is not fully understood by even the Legion itself, and full of peril, not always ~~producing~~ a true Astartes, and in many cases ~~resulting~~ in a braindead ~~corpse~~ barely fit for servitorhood. Those that survive the implantation process are split into four distinct categories based on their adaptation to the ancient technology. It is important to note that there is ~~little derision among~~ the Iron Hearts themselves ~~for~~ those with lesser tolerance for these implants - Rubinek's sons are closely-knit and highly communal, bonded by their natures as outcasts and offscourings.

	Rubinek's gene-seed marked him as a nigh-irredeemable abomination in the eyes of his Father, barely fit to live and ever an embarrassment to the Master of Mankind. Weak and frail by Primarch's standards, his body was wracked with mutations only stabilized by the implantation of the Iron Heart ~~into his chest~~. Thus was it so for his sons - the first attempts at forging warriors from Rubinek's gene-seed were dismal failures, producing creatures unfit to have any part in the Emperor's grand design. It was only through the secret usage of forbidden techno-sorceries gleaned from the ruins of his homeworld, that Rubinek could mold his sons into soldiers worthy of his Father's cause.
