It’s all fun and games until a W40K librarian turns up

I only have more questions now than before seeing this image...

I can pulp your flesh and snap your bones in less than a second and without so much as lifting a finger. What is the power of technology compared to that?
VEL'CONA, CHIEF LIBRARIAN OF THE SALAMANDERS

I hope that clears things up for you.

A Librarian is a Firstborn or Primaris Marine combat psyker of the Space Marines who survives an Adeptus Astartes Chapter's rigorous screening and training to bend the powers of the Warp to their will for the benefit of their fellow battle-brothers and in service to the Emperor of Mankind. Beyond their psychic duties, the Librarians of the Astartes are also expected to record the great deeds of their Chapter and maintain the Chapter's storehouse of ancient lore, the functions for which they are named.

Hope that helps.

That helps a lot.

The Lemma on librarians is suprisingly diverse and dense on lore.
