Blood Angels - Post-Heresy Era Personnel: Luis Dante - Lord of the angelic host and Lord Commander of the Blood Angels in the late 41st Millennium, Commander Dante is one of the mightiest heroes of the Imperium. To other Chapter Masters he is an exemplar and an inspiration. To the common soldiers of the Imperium he is a golden god who falls from the heavens to annihilate the Emperor's heathen foes. Dante is believed to be the oldest living Space Marine in the galaxy (with the exception of several Dreadnoughts). He is a peerless warrior and a master strategist, having fought in campaigns on worlds beyond counting for over a thousand years. Even so, the overblown legends that grow in Dante's wake must test the old warrior's patience. He makes no comment, however, for he is wise enough to know that in these dark days the Imperium needs all the heroes it can muster. As for the Commander himself, many believe that Dante tired of his duties long ago. Yet the Scrolls of Sanguinius speak of a golden armoured warrior that will stand in defence of the Emperor's throne when the end draws nigh. Commander Dante believes he may be this figure, and so he fights on, waiting to do his duty on that fateful day. He wears the golden Death Mask of Sanguinius, a relic believed to show the face of the Primarch himself which evokes terror in all who are beneath its gaze.Kadeus - Kadeus was a former Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. He took part in the catastrophic Space Hulk cleansing operation in 996.M40, that came to be known as the Secoris Tragedy. Kadeus, alongside Captain Dante, was one of only fifty surviving Battle-Brothers able to fight his way off the Genestealer-invested hulk. He was later chosen as Sangallo's successor as Chapter Master and led his Chapter from the brink of extinction. During his time as Chapter Master, Kadeus wielded the relic blade Challenger, and famously battled the Daemon Prince of Tzeentch Sethselameth after it emerged on the Battle Barge Bloodcaller. In the subsequent battle, Kadeus managed to banish the daemon back to the Warp but was mortally wounded in the process. A beautifully painted mural was later created on the vessel to commemorate this famous battle. Kadeus would later die of his wounds in the great audience chamber (the Grand Annex) of the Blood Angels' fortress-monastery on Baal. Before his death, Kadeus named Dante as his successor and gave him the Axe Mortalis.Sangallo - Sangallo was a former Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. He led a large force of the Chapter to battle in the Secoris Tragedy, a catastrophic space hulk cleansing operation undertaken by the Blood Angels Chapter in 996.M40. The entire Chapter deployed when a space hulk appeared in the Secoris system near Baal. However, the Blood Angels discovered tens of thousands of Genestealers in hibernation. The resistance the Sons of Baal encountered was fierce, and Sangallo was tragically killed. Among the fifty Battle-Brothers who manged to escape the battle, were Captains Dante and Kadeus. Kadeus would go on to take Sangallo's place as Chapter Master and lead his Chapter from the brink of extinction.Leonid Castivarus - Successor of the short-lived Chapter Master Kalael, Lord Commander Castivarus is most remembered for leading the so-called Shield of Sanguinius (a combined force comprised of the Blood Angels, Astra Militarum and Knights of House Griffith) against a massive Ork WAAAGH! in the Redhaven System. Perceived and masterfully coordinated by the Chapter Master, the Imperial defence successfully halted the WAAAGH! and was utterly destroyed.Kalael - Kalael was the short-lived Chapter Master of the Blood Angels in the 35th Millennium. Per Chapter tradition, following the death of his predecessor, the Captain of the 1st Company was elevated to the position of Lord Commander. When Captain Kalael rose to the rank of Chapter Master he succumbed almost immediately to the Black Rage, throwing the Blood Angels into a spiritual and organisational crisis. This led to the restructuring of the Chapter Command, which incorporated the Sanguinary Priesthood and Reclusiam as a part of the Blood Angels higher echelon. This structure means that the Sanguinary High Priest and High Chaplain take joint temporary rule in the event of the Chapter Master's death. By holding temporary command, the High Chaplain and Sanguinary High Priest can test the will and worthiness of the new candidate to ensure that such a rash and unfortunate appointment does not occur again.Belarius - In some contradictory legends of the Chapter, Belarius was the first Chapter Master of the Blood Angels after the death of their Primarch at the hands of Horus during the Siege of Terra. A revered Chapter hero during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, he was given the legendary weapon known as the Blade Encarmine by Sanguinius and was unanimously hailed by his Battle-Brothers as the Angel's successor in guiding the Chapter into an uncertain future following the end of the Heresy. This name may be an alternate or legendary name for Raldoron, who was the true first Chapter Master of the Blood Angels following the end of the Heresy and the death of Sanguinius.Mephiston, Master of the Librarius - Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels during the 41st Millennium, Mephiston was originally known as Battle-Brother Calistarius. He was a Librarian of exceptional valour and strength of character. Whilst fighting before the walls of Hades Hive during the Second War for Armageddon, the curse of the Black Rage finally stole upon him. Inducted into the Blood Angels' Death Company, Calistarius took part in the final assault on the Ecclesorium building, and was one of the many people crushed under the falling debris when the building collapsed. He was buried under the rubble for seven days and seven nights. During this time, the Black Rage came upon him in full force and he fought to suppress it. Calistarius' will remained unusually strong, however, and he eventually emerged from the rubble as Mephiston, one of the most powerful psykers ever to bless the Emperor of Mankind's name. Mephiston gained immense power after overcoming the curse of the Black Rage and the Red Thirst not once, but twice. Mephiston is the most powerful Librarian amongst the Adeptus Astartes, and possibly the most powerful psyker in the Imperium, save for the Emperor Himself. He was granted the title "Lord of Death" by the Chapter after he successfully suppressed the Red Thirst.The Sanguinor, Exemplar of the Host - The Sanguinor is a golden angel of vengeance of unknown identity who sometimes appears in the Blood Angels' moments of greatest need to bring deliverance and victory. Who or what he truly is remains unknown. To most he is a myth, an honoured part of the Chapter's traditions and mysteries. For so dire are the circumstances in which the Sanguinor appears that few behold his glory and survive to speak of it. Some claim him to be Azkaellon, the founder of the Blood Angels' Sanguinary Guard and its last remaining member, from the time of the Horus Heresy. The more popular belief is that upon Sanguinius' death, the Primarch's soul split into two: that which was pained and in anguish became the Chapter's flaw, and that which was noble and pure became the Sanguinor. Regardless of who he is, the Sanguinor only appears when the Blood Angels need him most. His most famous deed is the defeat of Ka'Bandha in the early 41st Millennium, the infamous Greater Daemon of Khorne who once defeated Sanguinius himself. During the Siege of Terra the Primarch threw the daemon from above the Eternity Gate of the Inner Imperial Palace and broke the daemon's back upon the surface of Mankind's sacred homeworld, and the Bloodthirster has sought vengeance upon the Scions of Sanguinius ever since. His defeat by the Sanguinor represented yet one more humiliation for the daemon at the hands of the Blood Angels.First Captain Arenos Karlaen - Arenos Karlaen is a wily Blood Angels Veteran with hundreds of standard years of service to the Chapter. He is the current master of the "Archangels", the Chapter's Veteran 1st Company, and many consider him the greatest battle leader among the angelic host, save Dante only. In his long service Karlaen has accrued victories over almost every enemy of mankind and, as Hive Fleet Leviathan looms large in the Cryptus System, Dante has turned to his strong right hand again. Karlaen has fought the Tyranid menace many times before and owns several of the Blood Angels' greatest victories against the Great Devourer. Whether wielding his relic Thunder Hammer face to face against the foe aboard a Space Hulk or a beleaguered world, or directing the wrath of the fleet in a decisive battle, Karlaen's tactical nous and controlled rage have proven a match for the Hive Mind over and over again.First Captain Michaelus Raphael - Captain Raphael was the former commander of the 1st Company of the Blood Angels around the time of the late-500's.M41. He led his company to many glories and is most notable for having cleansed Genestealers from innumerable Space Hulks. His most notable engagement occurred in the year 596.M41, when he led a force comprised of eighty Terminators in an assault upon the notorious Space Hulk codified as the Sin of Damnation. The assault led by Captain Raphael resulted in the successful eradication of over forty-thousand Genestealers. Raphael was the commander of the Blood Angels force in the boardgame Space Hulk.Captain Donatos Aphael - Captain Donatos Aphael serves as the current master of "The Blooded", the Chapter's 2nd Battle Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Master of the Watch. An exceptional battlefield commander and exemplar to his Battle-Brothers, Aphael's perfect features hide a tormented soul. All Blood Angels wrestle with the Red Thirst, their skill in battle and tempered aggression rightly interwoven with the genetic flaw that slumbers in their flesh. Before his Blooding, Aphael was on a path often dictated by the Red Thirst. In almost every battle the blood rage robbed him of his senses, sending him howling into his foes. Each time the Captain had been able to claw himself back from the edge of madness, but each time the recovery grew harder. Perhaps this was why Aphael was placed in command of the 2nd Company, as Dante recognised a great leader in Donatos and was loath to lose him to the ravages of the Red Thirst. Fortunately, the Chapter Master's faith was well founded, and in time Donatos would rise to the Captaincy of the 2nd Company, with the responsibility of leadership and the sacrosanct traditions of the Blooded to guide him. However, it remains a fine line between control and madness, one Aphael must face whenever he leads his brothers to battle.Captain Athaeus - Chapter legends say that "the Blooded" earned their name long ago from Captain Athaeus, remembered as one of the first to command the 2nd Company. As the tale goes, Athaeus the Blooded was among the first of his brothers to master the Red Thirst. Some say it was just after the Second Founding, when the Chapter was forged from the Legion that had fought to protect the Emperor from the treachery of Horus, others that it was later, during the dark centuries that followed. Whenever Athaeus lived, the stories agree he was a great warrior, created in Sanguinius' image. Even in those days, the Flaw had already started to make itself known within the ranks of the Blood Angels. Athaeus learnt that only by giving in to the Red Thirst was he able to master it. This revelation came upon him when he was drenched in the blood of his foes. It was amid a broken citadel of the Emperor's Children, when Athaeus had just finished quenching his rage with the lives of the traitors. Only when he came back from the brink of madness did he feel a calm fall upon him, and knew in that moment that the Red Thirst no longer had mastery over his mind, and that he could channel it to his will.Captain Machiavi - Captain Machiavi serves as the current master of the "Iron Helms", the 3rd Battle Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Master of Sacrifice.Captain Erasmus Tycho (KIA) - Erasmus Tycho was the legendary Captain of the Blood Angels' 3rd Company, and was once Lord Commander Dante's chosen successor to become the next Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. Half his face was destroyed by an Ork Weirdboy during the Second War for Armageddon. This mutilation affected his psyche, and made him wear a mask over the injury. He constantly thirsted for revenge against the Orks who wounded him. His ire was such that he was almost uncontrollable away from the battlefield. Unfortunately, he eventually succumbed to the Black Rage and was inducted into the Death Company. He finally attained peace when he died seeing action during the Third War for Armageddon.Captain Castigon - Captain Castigon serves as the current master of the "Knights of Baal", the Blood Angels' 4th Battle Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Lord Adjudicator.Captain Sendini - Captain Sendini serves as the current master of the "Daemonbanes", the Blood Angels' 5th Battle Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Keeper of the Arsenal.Captain Raxiatel - Captain Raxiatel serves as the current master of the "Eternals", the Blood Angels' 6th Tactical Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Caller of the Fires.Captain Phaeton - Captain Phaeton serves as the current master of the "Unconquerables", the Blood Angels 7th Tactical Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Master of the Marches.Captain Zedrenael - Captain Zedrenael serves as the current master of the "Bloodhades", the Blood Angels' 8th Assault Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Lord of Skyfall.Captain Sendroth - Captain Sendroth serves as the current master of the "Sunderers", the Blood Angels' 9th Devastator Company, and also serves as the Chapter's Master of Sieges.Captain Borgio - Captain Borgio serves as the current master of the "Redeemers", the Blood Angels' 10th Scout Company, and also serves as the Chapter's current Lord of Recruits. 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f2/Captain_Leonatos.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160618044847" class="image"><img alt="Captain Leonatos" src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f2/Captain_Leonatos.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20160618044847" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="250" height="344" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Captain Leonatos.jpg" data-image-key="Captain_Leonatos.jpg" data-relevant="1" data-src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f2/Captain_Leonatos.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20160618044847" /></a> 	 		 			 		 		 		 			Captain Leonatos of the Blood Angels 		 	 Captain Leonatos (MIA) - Captain Leonatos and his company were assigned a vital mission to protect an Adeptus Astronomica Warp station on Sekundar Prime from a massive Ork invasion. To aid Captain Leonatos in this task, Lord Commander Dante presented him with the Blade Encarmine -- the sword of Belarius, the revered first Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, which had originally been awarded to Belarius by Sanguinius himself. During the brutal campaign, this sacred Chapter relic was lost. Only ten Astartes survived the brutal onslaught after five intense days of fighting. Leonatos was put on trial for the loss of the Blade. He was found guilty of dereliction of duty and was exiled from the Chapter and forced to undertake a "Blood Quest" until the Blade Encarmine was recovered. Leonatos and his small band of Exiles went deep into the Eye of Terror, where the relic was eventually recovered, but Leonatos was lost to the malefic powers of the Warp. The Blade was returned to the Chapter by Sergeant Cloten and Scout Novice Lysander, but the pair of Exiles still felt honour bound to find their missing Captain and save him from servitude to the Ruinous Powers, and so, they departed for the Eye of Terror on their own personal Blood Quest.Astorath the Grim - Astorath the Grim is the Chapter's current High Chaplain and Redeemer of the Lost, the Blood Angels Space Marine tasked with granting the Emperor's Peace to all those Space Marines who bear the gene-seed of the Primarch Sanguinius and have been overcome by the Black Rage beyond all hope of control. There is no rank within the Blood Angels Chapter more greatly honoured or more deeply loathed. Honoured for the burden the Redeemer of the Lost bears as he carries out his difficult but necessary duties; loathed because that duty is stained forever with the blood of his fellow battle-brothers.Death Company Chaplain Lemartes - Lemartes is a Chaplain and the warden of the Blood Angels' infamous Death Company. Under his guidance, the Death Company has reached a new level of potency and lethality. Though Lemartes himself is afflicted by the curse of the Black Rage, his formidable willpower has allowed him to remain in control of his actions, leaving him free to lead the Death Company in glorious charges that eclipse all the deeds of legend. Lemartes is also known as the "Guardian of the Lost". His stern voice can cut through even the battle frenzy induced by the Black Rage.Death Company Chaplain Daenor - From the bloody slaughter in the Akatrian Heights, to the hellish invasion of the Nightmare Well, Chaplain Daenor has battled his way through some of the most horrific battles in the Blood Angels' history. Never once has his composure failed him. Never once has he succumbed to the Flaw, and this alone is enough to have seen him elevated to the rank of Death Company Chaplain. No matter how dire the circumstances or dreadful the foe, Daenor's icy composure never cracks. Moreover, his deep spirituality and natural leadership qualities do much to steady the warriors around him. He is a light in the darkness, a beacon of hope and fortitude amongst the smoke-wreathed hell of the battlefield, and even the most lost of his brothers follow his lead without question. Daenor is far more than a figurehead, of course. His skill in close combat is prodigious; even wielding his bulky Crozius Arcanum in battle, Daenor strikes and parries as quickly as any expert swordsman. It is here, in the heat of battle, that the coldly composed Chaplain reveals his true zeal. Every strike is driven with the furious strength of utter conviction. Each thunderous blow that connects hurls another broken foe to the ground, their life smote from them in the name of the Angel and the Emperor.Death Company Chaplain Arophan - Among a company of madmen, Chaplain Arophan is a beacon of sanity. It fell to Arophan to guide the Death Company of Strike Force Mortalis during the Cryptus Campaign, his litanies and prayers the thin thread that would direct the doomed warriors toward their foes. As befits his rank, Arophan carries the Crozius Arcanum and wears the skull mask common to the Chaplains of the Adeptus Astartes. The only aspect of Arophan's armour that shows his allegiance to his Chapter is his shoulder pad, his sombre black armour fitting for his role as the final guide for his lost brothers.Epistolary Martellos - A formidable Brother-Librarian of the elite Veteran 1st Company, Martellos is coldly calm in battle, his thoughts and actions tempered by over a century of training in the eldrich and esoteric secrets of the Chapter's Librarium. Though his impressive psychic talents are not equal to those of Chief Librarian Mephiston, he is a force to twist and turn reality to his desires, showing a special gift for the Sanguinary discipline. Martellos also shares a bond with Captain Karlaen, the two having fought side by side many times before. As a result the Epistolary is often seconded to the Archangels where Karlaen values both his wise council and the havoc he can wreak upon his foes.Codicier Furion (KIA) - A squad member of Leonatos' search and recover group who possessed psyker abilities. Furion gave his life fighting a summoned Daemon Prince in a monastery on Tarsis to allow Leonatos and his company to escape and destroy the monastery from orbit, burying both the Daemon and Furion.Apothecae Majoris Caecus - Caecus was the Chief Apothecary or Apothecae Majoris of the Blood Angels. Disturbed by the dwindling numbers of his Chapter, and dreading its extinction, he was involved in fruitless experiments to clone Space Marines, which Commander Dante ordered stopped. However, Caecus disobeyed the order and secretly continued the experiments, prodded by an agent of Fabius Bile. He was tricked into bringing Bile, who was disguised as a well-known Mechanicus Magos Biologis, to Baal, mistakenly thinking the false "Magos" would help in cloning Space Marines to enhance the Blood Angels' numbers. Caecus belatedly realised Bile's deception and was eventually executed by Rafen for his transgressions.Brother Corbulo - Corbulo is the Sanguinary High Priest of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter. He thus serves as the leader of the Chapter's Sanguinary Priests (Apothecaries) and the Bearer of the Red Grail, the Chapter relic that was used to preserve the blood of their Primarch Sanguinius after he was slain by the Warmaster Horus aboard his Battle Barge Vengeful Spirit during the closing days of the Horus Heresy. The sacred chalice is used by the Sanguinary Priests and all Aspirants of the Chapter to drink the sacred blood of their Primarch as part of the Ritual of Creation for all Blood Angels Astartes. As sometimes happens with Blood Angels Battle-Brothers, Corbulo bears a striking physical resemblance to the Chapter's lost Primarch as a result of a specific expression of his gene-seed. Brother Corbulo shares the Great Primarch's far-seeing eye and deep wisdom and leads his brethren in the ancient quest to eradicate the Flaw that afflicts their Chapter.Sanguinary Priest Jevael - In keeping with the traditions of the Blood Angels, the training of a Sanguinary Priest is subtly different from that of a traditional Apothecary as dictated by the Codex Astartes. However, the degree of expertise in treating the unique anatomy of a Space Marine, along with the necessary familiarity with a narthecium are more than sufficient for function among the Deathwatch. Because of this, there were no difficulties when Sanguinary Priest Jevael was assigned to serve at Watch Fortress Erioch. Since his arrival, however, Jevael has devoted a tremendous deal of his time to studying his fellow Battle-Brothers and seeing to their standard physical regimens. While most Apothecaries limit their assistance to other members of their Kill-team, Jevael has also provided services to other Space Marines, particularly those who belong to Chapters descended from the Blood Angels Legion. Rumors suggest that he might be conducting tests at the behest of the Flesh Tearers, in desperate hope of finding a cure to the Black Rage. Such actions would certainly go against the spirit of the Deathwatch. However, the desperation of some among the Chapter is so extreme that this research would scarcely come as a surprise to those familiar with the Flesh Tearers' curse.Cassor the Damned - Sometimes even Blood Angels Dreadnoughts succumb to the Black Rage, their minds infected with the same spiritual sickness that can afflict their mortal brethren. Cassor the Damned is one such tragic individual: having served for almost three centuries within the hull of his war machine, his mind was finally broken during the battle of Lowfang. Those that saw Cassors fall from sanity say it was the wings of the Sanguinary Guard as they passed overhead, blotting out the sun, that triggered the rage. Since that day the sound of beating wings is the only way to rouse the Dreadnought from his madness long enough for a Death Company Chaplain to direct him at his foes. When so released, however, his battle-fury is terrifying to behold, and countless foes have fallen to his razor-sharp blood talons.Moriar the Chosen - Moriar the Chosen is a Death Company Dreadnought of the Blood Angels Chapter. Once known as Morleo Moriar, a Blood Angels Company Captain, he fell in battle on the planet of Clamorga, yet so great were Morleo's deeds that he was stabilised by the Blood Angels' Sanguinary Priests and placed within the shell of a Furioso Dreadnought. Unfortunately, almost immediately after being awakened, he began to experience the visions of Sanguinius during the Horus Heresy and succumbed to the Black Rage. However, Moriar survived the mental brutality of the curse and now fights alongside the Blood Angels as a Death Company Dreadnought known as Moriar the Chosen. It is rumoured that in his new form, Moriar has been claimed by the Red Thirst and that the Blood Angel armourers have modified his Dreadnought chassis so that he can quench his thirst for blood. Thus, he became the Death Company's only Dreadnought -- an almost unstoppable force in battle.Raelyn, The Unbowed - A Furioso Dreadnought of the 2nd Company, he once walked as a warrior of flesh and blood amongst the Blooded. Raelyn is much younger than his counterpart, Taranos, only three centuries having passed since he was sealed into his walking crypt. Raelyn earned his title for his stoic defence of the Twin-shadowed Spire, where he fought on alone for hours after his brothers had fallen against an ever-rising tide of Orks. When the Blooded look upon this Dreadnought, his mighty deeds are remembered. Raelyn is armed for heavy fire support. His punishing Assault Cannon and long-ranged Missile Launcher enable him to reach out across the battlefield and tear apart his foes in a storm of bullets or searing conflagrations. As part of the Blooded, Raelyn often bolsters the rain of death unleashed by the company's Devastator Squads, trusting to the protection of his heavy armour to shrug off enemy attacks.Taranos, The Angel's Talon - A Furioso Dreadnought of the 2nd Company, Taranos, the Angel's Talon, once walked as a warrior of flesh and blood amongst those battle-brothers of the Blooded. Taranos lived almost seven centuries ago, and is remembered for his part in the Heavenfall War. It was in that time he fell to an Eldar light-lance, even as he destroyed the walker that wielded it. Encased in the mighty adamantium shell of a Dreandought, Taranos often forms an effective lynchpin for his company's assaults. Heavily armoured, Taronos can shrug off most enemy fire, while his Frag Cannon can shred both massed infantry and light vehicles.Ancient Zorael - The Furioso Dreadnought known as Ancient Zorael was once a battle-brother of the Archangels. Zorael was once a Vanguard Veteran within the Blood Angels 1st Company. For over four centuries, this daring and heroic warrior carved a path across the stars in the name of Sanguinius and the Chapter. It was said that no foe could best him, but eventually he was run through by Warmaster Abaddon himself on the frozen world of Kymanir. Sheer determination saw Zorael cling to life long enough to be interred into a Dreadnought, from within which he fights on to this day. Many centuries later Zorael continues to fight for the Archangels, his fury undiminished by the march of years.Veteran Sergeant Cloten - A Space Marine from another company who joined Captain Leonatas on his quest to recover the Blade Encarmine. Cursed with the Red Thirst, he only wished to die an honourable death before he succumbed to it. Cloten's brute strength helped Leonatos greatly. In the Maze of Tzeentch on the Daemon World of Eidolon, Cloten fought the personified Black Rage and defeated it, freeing him from the curse. Cloten and Lysander were the only survivors of the origjnal Bloodquest and undertook their own quest to find Leonatos. Ultimately, Cloten would meet his fate fighting on the Daemon's ship.Veteran Sergeant Tranio (KIA) - Tranio was one of the Veterans who survived during the Last Stand on the world of Sekundar against the Orks of Garshul the Destroyer's WAAAGH!.Veteran Sergeant Cleutin - Cleutin is the most senior sergeant within the Blood Angels Chapter and the current Guardian of the Shroud of Sanguinius -- one of the Chapter's most revered holy relics. As the senior sergeant of the Chapter, it has fallen to Cleutin to be the current Guardian of the sacred shroud. It is rumoured that Cleutin is so old that he was the sergeant in charge of Lord Commander Dante's Scout Squad when he was still an Aspirant. Whatever the truth of this rumour, there is no doubting that Cleutin is a doughty and experienced warrior, and a worthy guardian of the Shroud.Sergeant Anraetos - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Sergeant Anraetos is a famed beast killer among the Archangels. Hive Tyrants, Chaos Spawn, Wraithlords and many other aberrations have fallen under his Thunder Hammer. However, Anraetos remains selfless and humble in his service to the Emperor and his squad always shares in his kills and in his glory. Squad Anraetos is highly effective against enemy leaders that choose to march to war surrounded by a personal bodyguard. Sergeant Anraetos seeks out the opposing commander with his hefty hammer while his brothers lay into the foe's sworn protectors. This creates a perfect symmetry of destruction -- the staunch power and protection of Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield balanced nicely alongside the speed and brutality of Lightning Claws.Sergeant Bavetius - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Bavetius and his men were personally chosen by Captain Karlaen. This squad combines a talent for war with the vengeful fury instilled by the Blood Angels' gene-seed. Tempered by the leadership of their captain, they form a formidable fighting unit. Like their captain, each member of the squad is clad in ornate Terminator Armour and armed with close combat weaponry, such as Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers. Adorned with the iconography of the Chapter, the many honours and campaign badges worn by the battle-brothers of Squad Bavetius are a testament to its many great deeds in the service of the Emperor. The squad also has the honour of carrying the company standard of the Archangels, which stands out as a bold statement on the battlefield.Sergeant Caemus - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Caemus and his Sternguard Veteran Squad are able to lay down a prodigious amount of firepower. Supporting the massed Terminator assaults of the Archangels, this unit adds formidable ranged hitting power with a host of fearsome Heavy Bolters, Heavy Flamers, Multi-Meltas and Bolters.Sergeant Domenic - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Domenic and his squad are often called upon by Captain Karlaen when the need arises to punch a hole in a hardened enemy fortification. Squad Domenic are often the first into the breach. These formidable-looking warriors each carry a Storm Bolter and Thunder Hammer, giving them brutal hitting power and impressive resilience against even the heaviest enemy guns. Carried into the fray aboard the Land Raider Crusader Anvil of Baal, there is no beast Squad Domeric cannot bring down, and no fortification that can stand for long against their relentless assault.Sergeant Marius - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Marius and his Vanguard Veteran Squad are the perfect complement to Squad Caemus. Where the warriors of Caemus excel in ranged engagements, those of Marius are swift and lethal close combat specialists, swooping down from the sky to carve apart their enemies or blast them to ruin at close range. Sergeant Marius leads his Vanguard Veterans into combat, his golden helmet marking him out from the Assault Marines of other companies, while his gleaming sword is an ancient relic of the Chapter. This engraved blade, easily as tall as a man, draws the eye with its shining silver edge standing out among the deep reds and golds of the Blood Angels armour. This feature helps distinguish the Sergeant from the rest of his squad.Sergeant Ottavos - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Ottavos earned the great honour of being given a command of a squad of Terminators under the command of Captain Karlaen himself cleansing the Space Hulk Executioner's Lament, where he purged a nest of Daemons. Squad Ottavos is a versatile and resilient component of the Archangels. Its impressive ranged firepower -- significantly augmented by Assault Cannons -- and brutal close combat power make it well suited either to attack or defend as the needs of battle dictate.Sergeant Vasarus - A squad leader of the Veteran 1st Company, Vasarus and his squad are arrayed in formidable Terminator Armour and armed with crackling Lightning Claws -- able to turn entire swarms of foes into bloody ruin in a matter of minutes. A veteran of centuries of warfare, he is clad in an ornate suit of Terminator Armour heavy with purity seals and honours.Sergeant Gideon - Sergeant Gideon served in the elite 1st Company under the command of First Captain Raphael in the late-500's in M41. He took part in the famous cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. Sergeant Gideon was considered to be something of a maverick individual, happy to flaunt doctrine and tradition if the need arose. This was no more evident than in his choice of weaponry. Gideon was once a member of a Terminator Assault Squad, but upon being promoted to Sergeant replaced his Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield with the customary Storm Bolter and Power Sword. In the next battle, his armour seized up after being hit by a round from an Ork gun and Gideon declared that its machine spirit had been offended by the change of armament. Ever since, he refused to relinquish his beloved Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield again.Sergeant Lorenzo - Sergeant Lorenzo served in the elite 1st Company under the command of First Captain Raphael in the late-500's in M41. At the time he was over 650 standard years old and was a veteran of more wars than any other Terminator veteran in 1st Company. Despite his achievements, one day of failure still haunted him. As a Battle-Brother in a squad of the 3rd Company, Lorenzo was one of only 50 warriors to escape the disastrous boarding action 600 years earlier aboard a Space Hulk in the Secoris System. His Battle-Brothers were butchered around him and though absolved of all responsibility, he continues to question his own courage and commitment. Every day Lorenzo is haunted by these thoughts, and every night for six centuries he has prayed for a chance to redeem himself. His chance finally came after six centuries when the opportunity came for the Blood Angels to expunge this sad event in their Chapter's history during the boarding action of a second Space Hulk, codified the Sin of Damnation.Sergeant Orexis - Sergeant Orexis served in the Blood Angels Legion's Veteran 1st Company during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.Sergeant Angelon - Sergeant Angelon is a squad leader of the 2nd Company, having served the Blooded for over two centuries, as is hinted at by his ornate armour and golden laurelled helmet, and he has been entrusted with a rare and potent Combi-Grav.Sergeant Borgio - Sergeant Borgio is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. Borgio and his battle-brothers are equipped for close range destruction. Borgio himself carries an Inferno Pistol, enabling him to fight at close range and in close quarters, to unleash a torrent of searing death upon his enemies.Sergeant Daento - Sergeant Daento is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. His assault squad is the brother squad to Forian.Sergeant Forian - Sergeant Forian is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. His assault squad brings its mobility and close combat prowess to the battlefield.Sergeant Goriel - Sergeant Goriel is a squad leader of the 2nd Company who favours plasma weaponry for its raw destructive power. He carries a combi-plasma for long range engagements and his squad is armed with a further Plasma Gun.Sergeant Inortros - Sergeant Inortros is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. He leads Squad Inortros in its designated role of long-ranged fire support to the Blooded. Armed with Bolter and Chainsword, Sergeant Inortros commands expertly, spotting targets and ensuring that his squad's impressive firepower is put to the best possible use.Sergeant Karos - Sergeant Karos is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. Armed with a crackling Power Fist and a deadly Plasma Pistol to ward enemy assaults, he leads his squad in an anti-infantry role.Sergeant Ludvaius - Sergeant Ludvaius is a squad leader of the veteran 1st Squad of the 2nd Company. Veteran of the company, Squad Ludvaius often has the honour of being the first into the fray. Ludvaius himself has a bionic eye, a testament to his long years of war in the service of the Emperor.Sergeant Meteros - Sergeant Meteros is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. His squad benefits from the many ancient and honoured weapons from the Blood Angels Chapter's extensive armouries, as can be seen by their mix of armour and helmets, showcasing various marks of power armour used by the Adeptus Astartes during their long and illustrious wars for the Emperor.Sergeant Vorlois - Sergeant Vorlois is a squad leader of the 2nd Company. He often leads his squad in close range assaults. Armed with a Combi-Melta, Vorlois and his squad are able to incinerate their enemies in blasts of holy flame and superheated melta fire.Sergeant Rafen - Sergeant Rafen, of the 6th Company, saved the Blood Angels Chapter from a bloody civil war, but in doing so was forced to kill his biological brother Arkio. He is one of the few Blood Angels to defeat the Chapter's curse of the Black Rage, although he willingly used it to defeat Malfallax, a Lord of Change (Greater Daemon of Tzeentch) who had deceived Arkio into believing that he was the reincarnation of the Primarch Sanguinius. He was also key in defending the Blood Angels' homeworld of Baal from the creations of Fabius Bile. He was then tasked by Lord Commander Dante to pursue Bile in order to reclaim a vial with the blood of Sanguinius that Bile had stolen, and to terminate the ancient Emperor's Children Apothecary. Rafen eventually caught up with him on Dynikas V where he was confronted with several Bile clones. He managed to reclaim the stolen blood vial and kill the Bile clones, but in order to do so, had to inject himself with the blood of Sanguinius that Bile had taken. Malfallax, after his own defeat, presumably in order to avenge the failure of the plans regarding Arkio, offered his allegiance to Bile. Bile by then wanted to destroy the Chapter following the events at Dynikas V, and it is to this plot that both servants of Chaos now bend their talents.Arkio - Arkio, of the 6th Company, was the unwitting pawn of Tzeentch and the Lord of Change Malfallax, mutated through the power of Chaos to possess a pair of angel's wings in order that he might resemble Sanguinius as part of a Chaotic plot to take control of the Blood Angels Chapter for the Lord of Change. He was killed by his biological brother Rafen at the Battle of Sabien, saving the Blood Angels from the outbreak of an internecine war within the Chapter.Brother Claudio - Brother Claudio served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. He most famously took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. A warrior in Terminator Assault Squad Leodinus, Claudio is skilled at close-quarters combat. His preferred armaments are a pair of Lightning Claws. Thousands of foes have fallen beneath Claudio's blades over the centuries and he was lauded amongst his battle-brothers for his unflinching dedication to his brothers. Aboard the Sin of Damnation Claudio's fellow squad members were slain by a surprise Genestealer attack, filling him with a cold fury and bloodthirsty desire for vengeance.Brother Deino - Brother Deino served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. He most famously took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. By that time, Deino had fought alongside Sergeant Lorenzo for the best of part of a century. He had been awarded the Chapter Marksmanship award many times over the years, displaying an almost supernatural accuracy on the firing range and in battle. Like his fellow Blood Angels, Deino took pride in the pursuit of perfection and had raised marksmanship to the state of art. As well as his Badge of Marksman, he carried the customised Storm Bolter that earned him such reward. Deino combined quick reactions with nerves of steel, and his battle-brothers took great pride and comfort from his calm and effective shooting.Brother Goriel - Brother Goriel served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. In his former life on the irradiated planet of Baal, Goriel was the leader of a vicious gang of brawlers known only as the Murder Elite. Though his morals were questionable, the psycho-conditioning processes of the Adeptus Astartes fused his natural ferocity with the discipline of a true Space Marine. He earned great honours as an Assault Marine, once serving with dedication in the Honour Guard of Captain Raphael. Since he joined the 1st Company in 569.M41, he became a highly valued member of Squad Lorenzo, and later successfully took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk, the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41.Brother Glorian - A member of Squad Ottavos of the Veteran 1st Company, this Terminator armoured veteran has fought fought amongst the Archangels for over two centuries. In that time he has participated in the cleansing of Space Hulks, the slaying of traitor governors and rebel warlords, and the defeat of xenos despots beyond count. Most famously, it was Glorian who slew the Haemonculus torturer Gyloch Xuld, hurling the fiend's broken carcass into the caldera of a bubbling volcano to ensure he could never be resurrected.Brother Leon - Brother Leon served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. He most famously took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. Brother Leon is known for not saying much, but his devastating Assault Cannon is eloquent enough for both of them. For Leon, there is only one thing that matters in battle: kill ratio. The more targets presented by the foe, the happier Leon is. When not fighting, Leon fastidiously maintains his weapons and armour, making small adjustments, adding his own litanies and benedictions to their machine spirits. This has caused some controversy with the Techmarines of the Chapter, who repeatedly requested that Sergeant Gideon ban Leon from the armoury when unaccompanied by one of their order.Brother Noctis - Brother Noctis served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. He most famously took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. Bearer of the title Castellan of the Black Tower, Noctis is as solid and dependable as a rock. Sergeant Gideon has come to rely on Noctis' clear head and immovable patience over the years. Though Noctis was jokingly criticised for being boring, having little imagination and obeying all of his orders to the letter, sometimes those were the exact qualities a commander needed most. If a rusted grate or dank tunnel needed guarding, then by the Emperor, Brother Noctis would guard it to the absolute best of his ability or die in the attempt.Brother Omnio - Brother Omnio served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. He most famously took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. Amongst the aesthetically-minded Blood Angels, Omnio is something of an oddity; he is driven by logic and intellectual curiosity. He is analytical, distant even, a quality that sometimes raises suspicions amongst his battle-brothers but also ensures that in the heart of a fight he is clear-headed and can be relied upon for vital tactical analysis. Sergeant Gideon once joked that Omnio was a Servitor who had been promoted to the 1st Company by mistake. Unsurprisingly, Omnio didn't see what was funny about that.Brother Pallamon (KIA) - A squad member of Leonatos' search and recover group. Unknown if he served during the Last Stand on Sekundar.Brother Scipio - Brother Scipio served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. He most famously took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. Scipio is a fast-acting warrior who thinks on his feet and adapts to new situations with astonishing speed. He has been marked out as potential Terminator Sergeant material, but his lack of communication has held him back. Scipio is just as likely to set off on his own initiative as to pass on his insights to other members of the squad. However, Scipio's resourcefulness has extricated the squad from certain death on more than one occasion.Brother Valencio - Brother Valencio served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41. The scouring of the Space Hulk Sin of Damantion in 589.M41 was Brother Valencio's first combat action since his induction into the 1st Company. Having served the Blood Angels for less than one hundred years, Valencio was young by the standards of his Terminator brethren, but had earned his place amongst them with his forthright, courageous actions in a dozen wars. To the other members of Squad Lorenzo he is still an untested youth, desperate to impress Lorenzo since the Sergeant saved Valencio's life during the Threxian Cataclysm. Even for one of the Blood Angels Valencio is eager, some would say foolhardy, but his valour is beyond question.Brother Valerius (KIA) - A squad member of Leonatos' search and recover group. Unknown if he served during the Last Stand on Sekundar.Brother Zael - Brother Zael served in the elite 1st Company under Captain Raphael during the late-500's in M41, and most famously, took part in the cleansing of the Space Hulk known as the Sin of Damnation in 589.M41. Zael had communed with the Emperor every day of his life since he was an infant on the rad-trails of Baal's dust sea. He rarely smiled, but within his breast burned the fire of hope. His own transformation from a scavenging mongrel to one of the Emperor's chosen was proof that the Blood Angels could overcome all obstacles. Zael carries the Squad Lorenzo's Heavy Flamer, which he uses to bring purifying flame to the wretches who oppose the Imperium. Zael knows that humanity is destined to rule the stars. In fact, he intends to make sure of it. His self-belief and unshakeable courage make him a reliable and reassuring presence within Squad Lorenzo.Brother Mkani Kano - Brother Kano served as the Adjutant of Chapter Master Raldoron, the First Captain of the Blood Angels Legion's 1st Company, during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.Scout Novice Lysander - A squad member of Leonatos' search and recover group. Only he and Cloten were the survivors of the Bloodquest, returning the Blade to the Blood Angels. However, they both embarked on their own Bloodquest to recover Leonatos. Ultimately, only Lysander survived and was presumably recovered and returned to the Blood Angels.Scout Novice Menelius (KIA) - A squad member of Leonatos' search and recover group. He was sacrificed by a Chaos Cult on Tarsis to summon a trapped Daemon Prince.Scout Novice Proteus (KIA) - A squad member of Leonatos' search and recover group. Proteus was seduced by a Slaaneshi Daemon Prince into being corrupted by Chaos and became a Chaos Lord in that Daemon's Black Crusade. Ultimately, Proteus was killed by Lysander.Captain Ubaldo - A captain of the 1st Company who led a group of Blood Angels Terminators at the behest of Inquisitor Jost von Marburg of the Ordo Xenos to purge a Genestealer-infested Space Hulk known as the Forsaken Doom that threatened the Forge World of Gorgonum. Gorgonum's ruler, Fabricator General Weyldran Lyrzek of the Adeptus Mechanicus, had requested the aid of the Inquisition and the Adeptus Astartes to deal with the threat.Sergeant Tahariel - Tahariel was a Sergeant of the 1st Company who served alongside Ubaldo in purging the Space Hulk Forsaken Doom of its Genestealer threat to the Forge World of Gorgonum.Brother Madriel - Madriel was a Terminator of the 1st Company who aided in the purge of the Space Hulk Forsaken Doom.Brother Lazzaaro - Lazzaaro was a Terminator of the 1st Company who aided in the purge of the Space Hulk Forsaken Doom.Brother Caraniel - Lazzaaro was a Terminator of the 1st Company who aided in the purge of the Space Hulk Forsaken Doom.Brother Armando - Armando was a Terminator of the 1st Company who aided in the purge of the Space Hulk Forsaken Doom.
