A Helix Adept is the title given to certain Primaris Marines who serve with the Vanguard Space Marines. They are usually assigned to serve with Infiltrator Squads, who often have their own medicae specialists.
These warriors receive additional training from the Apothecarion, and stand ready to ascend to the role of full Primaris Apothecary should a tragic loss occur.
Meanwhile, they practise their craft in the Vanguard formations, utilising the Helix Gauntlet -- a scaled-down version of an Apothecary's Narthecium tool -- to carry out their duties.
Their duty is to provide battlefield first aid to their battle-brothers and collect their gene-seed for the Chapter if they should fall in combat.
