Editing Gene-seed (section)

==== Ultramarines (XIII Legion) ====
{{Main|Ultramarines}}
*''No official defects.'' Considered the most stable and preferred source of gene-seed for new Foundings. Possible predilection towards conformism and communitarianism.
**Due to a lack of any real interesting or identifying traits in and of itself, discussions for reclassifying the Ultramarine gene-seed from the most stable source to the most generic source were in the works. These talks were surreptitiously shut down by [[Who Watches Them|Inquisitor Warden]] for offending his sensibilities.
**Also worth noting is that the Ultramarines, in one of their bro-iest moves, "adopted" a fair number of loyalists from traitor legions after the heresy and are heavily implied to have taken in members of the two missing legions after whatever it was that got them disbanded. There is no real way of telling if an Ultramarines "successor" might be from the relatively stable stock of World Eaters or Iron Warriors. In most cases only a single high-ranking [[Belisarius Cawl|archmagos]] knows the truth, so even the chapter itself (except possibly the command and the eldest brothers) is in the dark about its history.
