It is said that beneath the gleaming masks of the Angels Sanguine is a will of iron; but the truth is somewhat darker. Their terrible secret is known only to a few souls outside the Chapter, but despite this they have a long and glorious history.{{Fn|2}}
The Angels Sanguine never remove their masks in the presence of anyone outside their Chapter. Even amongst their battle-brothers, their faces are usually hooded.{{Fn|6a}} What drives the Chapter's Battle-Brothers to shield their faces from the gaze of others, never removing their helms save for in the privacy of their fortress monastery? And what is the secret of the catacombs that lie beneath the Chapter's home? {{Fn|3}} Members who enter the [[Black Rage]] are strapped strapped to the [[Tablet of Lestrallio]], in the Angels Sanguine's [[Fortress Monastery]]. Members who regain themselves, are presented with the [[Shroud of Lemartes]] as a symbol of their mastery of the Black Rage.{{Fn|5b}}
