[[Image:Astorath.jpg|right|thumb|Astorath the Grim, Redeemer of the Lost<sup>1c</sup>]]
'''Astorath''', known as '''Astorath the Grim''', is the High [[High Chaplain]] of the [[Blood Angels]], is a figure both revered and loathed within the ranks of the Chapter due to the duty he performs: as the Redeemer of the Lost, he must seek out those battle-brothers completely claimed by the Black Rage, and end their suffering with a blow from his axe. As a result no battle-brother can feel entirely comfortable in his presence, as one day it might be their neck at the receiving end of his blade.
While his duties ultimately lie with his Chapter, Astorath also dispenses the final mercy of oblivion to those lost to the Rage in all Blood Angel Successor-Chapters. As such he is always on the move, his grim duty bringing him to wherever the Sons of Sanguinius battle.
