Characters belonging to the BloodAngels, both on the Tabletop and in the novel series.

During the Great Crusade, Sanguinius became close friends with Horus, but that friendship was shattered when Horus fell to Chaos Undivided and the Horus Heresy began. At the climax of the heresy - the Siege of Terra - Sanguinius battled his brother and former friend, but having fought for several days before, was not at full strength and only managed to cause a chink in Horus' armor. Legend has it, this was perhaps the only thing that afterwards enabled the Emperor to defeat Horus. Sanguinius was subsequently killed by his brother, and the psychic shock of this manifest itself in the rest of the Blood Angels as 'The Flaw' from that day on.

One of twenty Primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind, Sanguinius and his brothers were scattered to the stars by the Chaos Gods. Landing on Baal Secundus, Sanguinius's time in the Warp caused a mutation in angelic wings appearing from his back. Found by 'the People of the Pure Blood' a tribe that experienced limited mutation from the nuclear wars, Sanguinius went on to unite Baal and its moons. When the Emperor found Sanguinius, he immediately bowed before his father, who gave him command of the IX Legion of the Adeptus Astartes, renamed the Blood Angels.

During the Great Crusade, Sanguinius became close friends with Horus, but that friendship was shattered when Horus fell to Chaos Undivided and the HorusHeresy began. At the climax of the heresy, the Siege of Terra, Sanguinius battled his brother and former friend, but having fought for several days before, was not at full strength and only managed to cause a dent in Horus' armor (which legend has it, was just enough for the Emperor to target and pierce). Sanguinius subsequently died in battle, and the psychic shock caused the Black Rage that infects the Chapter to this day.
