The Sanguinor

==Summary==
The Sanguinor, also known as the Exemplar of the Host and the Herald of Sanguinius, is a mysterious entity of unknown origin that is associated with the Blood Angels Space Marines Chapter, and has been named after Sanguinius, the Blood Angels' martyred Primarch. Not much is known about his origins, and what information does exist is really nothing more than speculation by the Chapter's Librarium and several Imperial scholars well-versed in the lore of the Adeptus Astartes. The Sanguinor often appears during the Blood Angels' periods of greatest need, usually during a combat situation. To many among the battle-brothers of the Chapter he is no more than a myth, as few ever survive the battles where he has manifested, but the initiates of the Blood Angels' Reclusiam know differently, having kept detailed records of his manifestations down through the centuries. While the Sanguinor's deeds are unquestioned, there has always been much debate concerning his origin and identity.
The members of the Blood Angels' Chapter Council argue that the Sanguinor is the manifestation of Sanguinius' own better nature, lost to the Chapter with his death at the hands of Horus aboard the Warmaster's battleship during the climax of the Siege of Terra. The Sanguinary Guard do not believe that the Sanguinor is the Chapter's Primarch but that he is Azkaellon, the original founder of the Sanguinary Guard, who has been preserved beyond time by the divine will of the Emperor. The Inquisition's savants have their own opinions about the matter, theorizing that the Sanguinor is some sort of psychic construct born of the Warp through the collective desires and needs of Blood Angels when groups of them are under extreme duress. This only further supports the beliefs of some members of the Inquisition that the Blood Angels as a Chapter have come perilously close to mutation, corruption and ultimately heresy.
The reality of the matter is rather more obscure. During the period of the Horus Heresy when the Primarch Sanguinius acted as the Emperor of the Imperium Secundus enacted by his brother Roboute Guilliman in the wake of communication loss with the wider galaxy, the Space Marine Alatron forsook his own name to act as Sanguinius' public body double. Later on, at the Battle of Davin, Alatron would sacrifice himself to pull his Primarch away from a Warp rift while he was wrestling with the daemon Madail. Sanguinius would see his son ascend into a golden winged being as the Immaterium took him, providing a boon to the Blood Angels for the eons to come.
