[[Image:Corbulo.jpg|thumb|right|High [[Sanguinary Priest]] [[Corbulo]] holding the Red Grail.]]
The '''Red Grail''' is said to hold the blood of [[Sanguinius]] and is part of a [[Blood Angels]] ritual where one of their [[Space Marines]] must drink this blood, to, so they say, become closer to their dead [[primarch]]. Once they have drunk from the Red Grail, they become a [[Sanguinary Priest]]s, the [[Sanguinary High Priest|most senior ]] of which is named [[Corbulo]].{{Fn|1}} It is from these priests that the blood is taken to be used in the rituals of transforming aspirants into Space Marines.
The Red Grail is often taken to the battlefield where it provides a source of great inspiration for the Blood Angels, it also incorporates a powerful force field generator to protect the bearer from attack.{{Fn|2}}
