	Having his men scattered throughout the Imperium was at once help and hindrance to Uriel's new plans. The Justiciars loyal to him swiftly went into action sabotaging Imperial infrastructure, disabling astropathic relays, and securing supply depots for the Traitor Legions. However, some groups of the Thirteenth Legion refused to follow their Primarch into damnation. These "Iron Angels", as they called themselves, were few in number but particularly adept at slaying the corrupted Librarians in thrall of Chaos. Aside from dealing with their Loyalist brothers, Uriel's Justiciars were also called on to contain the warriors of the Eyes of the Emperor who had spurned the Council of Ten and rallied to Shakya Vardhana. If these two subtle Legions did not yet confront one another in great pitched battles, their countless skirmishes over six years of war still added up to a terrible toll in lives.

	It has been theorised that the sacrifice of the Thirteenth at Messonia was at the command of the Emperor, for just five years later the Legion would be meet with their Primarch and gain access to the vast manpower reserves of his home world Tiberia. Fresh genetic material from Uriel Salazar invigorated the Legion physically, but his moral presence was even more significant. Salazar's selfless dedication to the Imperium and its peoples, his great humility, and his tremendous self-discipline made him the embodiment of the Thirteenth's principles. More than just a leader or a father, he was his gene-sons' ideal. The Primarch's first command was to set aside the name "Iron Angels". Uriel explained to his men that such a moniker was boastful and unfitting for their mission. In place of that grand title, he styled the Thirteenth as ''"The humble fellow-soldiers of the Emperor and His justice"'', but they would be more commonly known as '''The Justiciars'''.

	Uriel never officially rebased his Legion to Tiberia and always hailed Ancient Terra as the cradle of the Justiciars. However, in reality, the Thirteenth moved much of their recruiting and training infrastructure to the Primarch's homeworld very early on. The Eleventh Expedition Fleet officially rejoined the Great Crusade in 820.M30 under Uriel's command, but it would not embark on major campaigns again until 824.M30 when the first classes of Tiberian recruits joined the Legion. Other Expedition Fleets, at first commanded by Cadigan's veterans, soon followed in the footsteps of the Eleventh and the Justiciars won many splendid victories for the Imperium under their own banner. Almost as important were the many independent Compliance Groups that went to the aid of other Imperial forces confronted by Sorcerers. The skills of the Unification Wars had not been forgotten by the Thirteenth Legion, and they hunted witches all across the Milky Way. Their talents were also used in the fight against psychically-potent Xenos, such as the Eldar.

The Primarch's own Expedition Fleet laid a trap for [[Golgothos]] at Caria, baiting [[the Entombed]] into launching an attack on a position laced with a designer virus that attacked their gene-seed. Uriel Salazar was greatly moved by this demonstration of the power of the Ruinous Powers and gave himself fully to Tzeentch at this time. Though this transformation would later see the daemon-Primarch withdraw from the affairs of men, he still led his Legion throughout the remainder of the Heresy and into the cauldron of the Battle of Terra, where they would renew their rivalry with the Eyes of the Emperor.

Once considered the most loyal and trusted of the great Legions, they were consumed by the powers of Chaos and sided with [[Hektor Cincinnatus]] in the [[Hektor Heresy]]. Among the ranks of the Traitors, they are unusually renowned for their selflessness and courage - the same qualities that had made the 13th beloved servants of the Emperor.

			*'''The Hand of Fate''' was born in the struggle against the sorcerer-kings who bedevilled Uriel Salazar's homeworld, Tiberia V. When the Primarch met with his Legion, he insisted that the warriors who had shed their blood with him should join the Thirteenth, despite warnings about the hazard to adults taking the gene-seed. The strength of body and will exhibited by the Hand of Fate was demonstrated by the high number who survived the gene-seed - perhaps as many as one in one hundred - to become Space Marines. These chosen few became Uriel Salazar's bodyguard in his early campaigns and their numbers were slowly increased with new recruits.

	*'''Stalker Squads'''. Ironically, these stealthy warriors became the face of the Thirteenth Legion due to their frequent collaborations with other Legions. The Stalkers were chosen from among the ranks of ordinary battle brothers for their strength of will, intelligence, and stealth skills, and were recognised as an elite formation the equal of any other in the Space Marine Legions. However, the Stalkers' formidable talents were best employed in small bands tasked with the elimination of witches. Due to their special training and equipment, these Legionnaires became peculiarly resistant to the works of psykers and they were particularly feared by the Eldar.		*'''Stalker Squads'''.

	* '''Raziel Búho''' became the Legion's Chief Librarian sometime between the Olmer Tribunal and the Siege of Terra. It is known that his predecessor, Arkady Balotin, deserted the Justiciars during this time and would later resurface as one of the Marines who tutored the Grey Knights, but Búho's crimes outweigh even this great service. The gifts of Tzeentch greatly empowered the Librarian, making him one of the strongest telepaths among the Traitor ranks. This psychic might allows Búho to dominate the minds of others, but he prefers to manipulate the puppets in his dark schemes.		* '''Raziel Búho''' became the Legion's Chief Librarian sometime between the Olmer Tribunal and the Siege of Terra.

			===Recruitment and Training===

			The Rites of Becoming governing the transformation from a young man into one of Uriel Salazar's gene-sons were a closely-guarded secret. It was known as a certainty that Aspirants to the Legion had to undertake the ''Endura'', a lengthy fast, in preparation for other elements of the Aspirant Trial.

	To the dismay of Terran and Selenar genetors, the Thirteenth Legion's gene-seed always harboured a tendency towards mutation. Even after stabilisation with Uriel Salazar's genetic material, the bodies of initiates would sometimes become wildly misshapen during the implantation process. As the cause of mutation was not readily understood, the genetors simply culled the mutants and hoped for the best.

According to the investigations of Inquisitor Camarus El'Ranar, such respect for degenerated Marines is no eccentricity. The Thirteenth stave off the complete corruption of their ranks by channelling the corrosive power of the Lord of Change into a chosen few.

	As the Great Crusade began to reach the fringes of the Astronomican's light, the Justiciar's mission slowly changed. The Space Marines were too few to hold the vast frontiers of the young Imperium on their own, let alone expand it. Human warriors of the enormous [[Imperial Army (Hektor Heresy)\|Imperial Army]] were committed to the spearheads of the Crusade in ever-increasing numbers. In addition, many officially compliant worlds harboured treasonous intent. Uprisings flared up across the Imperium, often led by psykers. To combat the threats within the Imperium, Uriel began to break up his Expedition Fleets into more Compliance Groups spread thinly throughout the Galaxy. Although their lack of concentration robbed the Justiciars of the laurels won by other Legion at the end of the Great Crusade, they gladly gave up honour for duty. Their small bands were indispensable to the merely mortal soldiers of the Imperial Army confronted by the terrors of the Warp.

	* '''Aldous Cadigan'''. Born on Terra at roughly the time the Emperor began his conquest. Aldous Cadigan was the son of Obaius the Savage, a sadistic warlord who reigned over Sud'Nuk Hive. When the Emperor demanded Obaius' submission, the tyrant proposed talks and a banquet. In a monstrous ploy to shame the lord of mankind, Aldous' elder brother was slain, his flesh cooked and served before the Emperor. Obaius' cruel game was immediately seen through and repaid with swift and deadly justice. Barely knowing and never mourning his vile sire, Sasian grew up as a ward of the Emperor and was brought up alongside the orphaned children of the Emperor's fallen bodyguards. Excelling under the fine tuition afforded him in the Imperial Palace, Aldous Cadigan was an obvious choice for the Adeptus Astartes. As a youth he was inducted into the Sacred Band of Hektor Cincinnatus and came to know and love the First of the Primarchs. During the fierce campaigns of the Pacification of the Merican Hives, Aldous led the Thirteenth Squad with great aplomb and became the first Master of the Legion and leader of the Eleventh Expedition Fleet. He died in 813.M30 on Messonia, struck down by the sorcerer Bassal-Narassur. According to the legends of the Thirteenth, Cadigan's last words were their battle-cry ''He wills it!''		* '''Aldous Cadigan'''. Born on Terra at roughly the time the Emperor began his conquest.

			* '''Artyem Bezhryukov'''. Despite being Terran-born, Bezhryukov became a favourite of Uriel Salazar and was appointed as the Primarch's Equerry sometime during the second century of the Great Crusade. Due to his introverted nature, he soon became known as ''Uriel's Shadow''. This epithet would take a darker tone during the Hektor Heresy, when Bezhryukov orchestrated head-hunting operations against loyalist leaders. After the Primarch withdrew from the affairs of men, Bezhryukov became the public leader of the Justiciars.

			* '''Raziel Búho''' became the Legion's Chief Librarian sometime between the Olmer Tribunal and the Siege of Terra. It is known that his predecessor, Arkady Balotin, deserted the Justiciars during this time and would later resurface as one of the Marines who tutored the Grey Knights, but Búho's crimes outweigh even this great service. The gifts of Tzeentch greatly empowered the Librarian, making him one of the strongest telepaths among the Traitor ranks. This psychic might allows Búho to dominate the minds of others, but he prefers to manipulate the puppets in his dark schemes.
