Sanguinius

==Summary==
:"Sanguinius. It should have been him. He has the vision and strength to carry us to victory, and the wisdom to rule once that victory is won. For all his aloof coolness, he alone has the Emperor's soul in his blood. Each of us carries part of our father within us, whether it is his hunger for battle, his psychic talent or his determination to succeed. Sanguinius holds it all. It should have been his..."
:- Horus Lupercal on who should have become Warmaster.
Sanguinius, also sometimes referred to as the Angel during his lifetime, was the Primarch of the Blood Angels Legion of Space Marines. He was killed during the climax of the Horus Heresy during the Battle of Terra defending the Emperor of Mankind from the Warmaster Horus aboard his flagship, the Battle Barge Vengeful Spirit. Though Horus slew Sanguinius, who had once been one of his closest friends amongst the Primarchs, legend holds that it was the crack in Horus' armor created by the Angel that allowed the Emperor to slay the Arch-Heretic and thus prevent Mankind from falling to the corruption of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos.

Fought Horus with skills similar to those of a Harlequin, wasting no effort and making no redundant actions or movementsThe End and the Death: Volume II; 8viii), Vehicular Mastery, Matter Manipulation and Durability Negation (Power weapons generate a field of energy around themselves that splits the bonds between matterThe Devastation of Baal; Chapter Twenty One, making it easier to break through targets), Genius Intelligence, Forcefield Creation (Via Iron HaloCodex: Space Marines (5th Edition); pg 52), Teleportation via Dimensional Travel, Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Primarchs are capable of attacking on every a physical, mental, and spiritual levelA Thousand Sons; Chapter Thirty One), Aura (Primarchs are said to contain an overwhelming aura that completely baffles regular humans, as well as sometimes Astartes.

Stamina: Superhuman (Primarchs are capable of fighting with shattered ribs, caved in abdomens and even fractured skullsBetrayer; Chapter Twenty One. Nothing short of a killing blow can stop them, and even their immensely lesser Space Marine sons can fight for weeks on end without stop)
Range: Several Meters melee range, Tens of Kilometers with ranged powers, at least Thousands of Kilometers via teleporter
Standard Equipment:
*Blade Encarmine: An ornate Power Sword originally wielded by the Primarch during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. The sword is said to respond only to those that possess the gene code of Sanguinius. It was given to Chapter Master Belarius from Sanguinius himself.
*Spear of Telesto: A spear that was also wielded by the Primarch during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. The blade is shaped like an elongated tear with a hollow in the center to represent a single drop of blood shed by Sanguinius when he swore fealty to the Emperor. The half is sculpted to show the Primarch as a hooded angel of blood and beneath was a Purity Seal handwritten by the Emperor Himself. It is capable of firing a blast of energy which vaporizes anyone who doesn't have the blood of Sanguinius flowing through their veins.
*Moonsilver Blade: A secondary sword that was used when fighting against Daemons, due to its incredible effectiveness against the Neverborn. The blade was used as a back-up weapon alongside the Spear of Telesto during the Horus Heresy. It was allegedly given to Sanguinius from Rogal Dorn, and was built from the same alloy as the frame of the Phalanx, the Imperial Fists' mobile fortress.
*Infernus: A pistol owned by Sanguinius. Due to its ammunition, it was capable of causing extreme damage to Legionaries and vehicles alike.
*Regalia Resplendent: A golden suit of ornately decorated Power Armor, worn by the Primarch Sanguinius and personally wrought by the Emperor Himself. It was tailored specifically for Sanguinius' majestic wings, and provided Sanguinius with incredible defense while allowing him to fly freely.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Every Primarch bears intelligence far beyond all manner of the average or even above average human reach, with virtually all of them being considered geniuses in the fields they hold expertise in, with few capable of matching up their intellect individually. Furthermore, they are capable of issuing commands during battle at speeds and complexity that even fellow Marines have difficulty following, and they are described as being the greatest generals ever produced by mankind)
Weaknesses: Can be rendered unconscious if enough of his Blood Angels are killed at the same time, becomes feral and wild and acts without thinking if pushed into his blood rage
