The '''Spear of Telesto''' is was a weapon wielded by [[Blood Angels]] [[Primarch]] [[Sanguinius]] during the [[Great Crusade]]. He is was shown using it against the [[Slaughter-Lord Morroga]] on the tapestries of Riga which hang in the fortress-monastery on [[Baal]]. It's Its blade is shaped like an elongated tear with a hollow in the centre to represent the single drop of blood Sanguinius shed when he swore fealty to the [[Emperor]]. The haft is sculpted to show the primarch as a hooded angel of blood and beneath that is a [[Purity Seal]] handwritten by the Emperor.
In combat, the spear can emit a blast of energy which vapourises anyone who doesn't have the blood of Sanguinius in his veins.
It was originally thought to have been lost during the [[Horus Heresy]] but the Blood Angels Angel's [[Battle Barge]] ''Bellus'' was sent to recover it following the discovery of documents relating to its whereabouts on [[Evangelion]]. The weapon was found among the [[ork]]-held systems on the borders of the [[Segmentum Obscurus]] by a team led by [[Inquisitor]] [[Ramius Stele]].
