Cyras Vitalion
Cyras Vitalion is the current Chapter Master of the Cruor Blades.[1a]
Though the Blood Angels Homeworld, Baal, is not his home, Vitalion views it as having a spiritual significance to his Chapter. He once visited Baal upon his ascension to Chapter Master and was presented with a gift of Bloodstone by the Blood Angels' First Captain. In exchange, Vitalion gave the Blood Angels a score of masterwork blades, each one shaped to resemble a flight feather of their Primarch Sanguinius and forged with the purest gold from the Cruor Blades' Homeworld Kremonas.[1a]
When Baal was later threatened by the Tyranids' Hive Fleet Leviathan, Vitalion quickly led his Chapter to aid the Blood Angels. The Cruor Blades, however, did not get there in time and while the Blood Angels and their allies were ultimately victorious, Baal and its moons were ravaged. When his fleet finally arrived and saw the devastation, Vitalion became enraged at both the invading Hive Fleet as well as himself, for not being there to aid their Founding Chapter.[1a] While Vitalion knows his entire Chapter feels shame for their failure to aid the Blood Angels, he claims the shame is his alone, as he was the Cruor Blades' Chapter Master.[1b] He has now vowed to take vengeance against the Tyranids[1a] and is currently leading the Cruor Blades in the Red Scar campaign against the Xenos.[1b]
