The '''Blade Encarmine''' is a relic of the [[Blood Angels]]. Wielded by the Blood Angels First ' first [[Chapter Master]] , [[Belarius]], the sword is said to only respond to those who carry the gene code of [[Sanguinius]].
==History==
It was lost to the [[Ork]] warlord [[Garshul The the Destroyer]]. During the battle in which it was lost, the Blood Angels present were under the command of Captain [[Leonatos]]. Leonatos was exiled from the Chapter by Lord Commander [[Dante]] himself, until such time as he recovered the lost blade.
In his quest to recover the Blade Encarmine, Leonatos and his group of fellow exiles tracked down the Ork warlord's fleet, only to discover the warlord himself was host for a [[daemon]] of [[Tzeentch]]. Following the daemon's Traitor Marine allies into the [[Eye of Terror]], Leonatos once again searched for the sword across a daemon world. Eventually recovering the sword, but at the cost of his own soul. The sword was returned to the chapter's homeworld of Baal by the two remaining exiles, who refused to rejoin the chapter. Instead they themselves undertook a quest to rescue their commander from servitude to Tzeentch.
