Wasn't he also at one point a Space Marine and Custode?

Regardless Ollanius Pius has never been something I had much interest in. He seemed better as just a Legend and not something that actually existed.

He was a normal guardsman who was later retconned out for those things then later retconned as immortal. This is one example of why some people hate the HH series so much.

He was a Guardsmen in Rogue Trader, much of which was completely retconned, and people are mad that he isn't what RT made him? Seems silly among things people normally get upset over for this setting. From what I am seeing, before the HH series there wasn't really any mention of him between the book they brought him into the series with and the Compendium for RT.

I think that's really debatable, actually. It's really more of a thing with militaries, it's very rare for soldiers to disobey orders f their superiors.

The question is whether or not they'll see some new upstart that claims to be a primarch as their superior, or the High Lords they've served for thousands of years.

except they DON'T serve the High lords. the material is VERY VERY VERY clear on that. the space Marine chapter masters answer only to "The emperor" (the same as the high lords) any conflict between Gulliman and the HLT would be one the space marines could pick eaither side, I suspect a lot would stay neutral tending to the security of the borders

Fluff wise not sure, my regiment if super religious and worship the God-Emperor to no end. But they really fething hate another Imperials. They feel abandoned, not receiving support when a Chaos, DE, Greenskins, Nids, and a civil war were happening in our sector. Not sure, since would Guillam be seen as the son of the Emperor, probably, but then again he denies His divinity. Honestly the situation is unlikely, as I would hope Guillium to see the Imperium isn't in a place for civil war, they need to stay unified and destroy Chaos before moving on with Imperial Beaucracy.

If i was an Imperium player I would definitely side with Guilliman. The Imperium needs some serious reforms or risk becoming the villains they tried to destroy
