So, for anyone unaware there is a really cool lore snippet in the new Custodes codex: basically within the Custodes there is a subfaction called Aquilan Shield, who are tasked with protecting people. These people can vary from the High Lords of Terra themselves to a lowly soldier who is destined to become a great commander and lead a crusade against enemies of the emperor.

In the codex there's an account of an Aquilan Shield custodian, who recalls some of the people he has guarded over the centuries. His first duty was to shield an especially pious boy from afar and keep him from harm unitl the Black Templars could eventually claim him. That boy was none other than grand marshal Helbrecht! How cool is that?

Is it explained how they know what fates await those people ? Are they using psykers, the Tarot or whatever ? Like, why would they guard this specific child, how did they know he would become important ?

Potentially being contacted by the Emperor. He's pretty good at mind messages.

There's an order of seers who work for the Custodes called the Doomscryers.

This is, emphatically, why I will continue suggesting nuking Guard and starting over again. It's a legacy army that needs to be rebooted with a new focal point.

Confirmation of why no-one should listen to Kanluwen when it comes to the IG - he doesn't want the IG, he want's Kan's New Model Army...

If you work for a literal god, don't be surprised when he gives you the benefit of his omniscience.

Also, you could say Big E did the same for Dante. Dante received more than a few miracles in the form of the Sanguinor during his ascension to Astartes.

Then you have the whole Emperor controls his people thing, where the emperor literally puppets a young girl into being a martyr and attacking Mortarion, or one of his daemon lords, in order to make Bobby have faith.

Point is this literally happens all the time in 40k. Also, the BTs are like 3 really good prayers away from being Sororitas Astartes, and being able to manifest miracles through prayer. So, yeah. Not a hard leap to see the God Emperor reaching out and steering the events of mankind to save on of his greatest servants.
