:A Bloodfiend is {{BloodAngelsPortal}}{{WIP}}The '''Bloodfiends''' were a failed attempt at [[cloning ]] by the [[Blood Angels]] which was soon exploited by [[Fabius Bile]].  == History ==As a result of the [[Arkio]] Insurrection, the Blood Angels' numbers were severely depleted, and one [[Sanguinary Priest]], [[Caecus]], proposed the radical solution of using [[replicae]] techniques, similar to what the [[Raven Guard]] tried during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Cite This}} [[Commander Dante]] refused to approve the project, but Caecus continued his research in secret. With the help of a rogue [[Magos Biologis]], [[Haran Serpens]], Caecus created a stable clone from his own [[geneseed]], which he dubbed the "Bloodchild."{{Cite This}} At first the experiment seemed to be a huge success , since the clone emerged with an almost complete [[Astartes]] physiology and self-aware enough to learn combat techniques quickly. But when it fought the was matched against Blood Angel [[Space Marine Sergeant|sergeant ]] [[Rafen]] and a [[Flesh Tearers]] captainsergeant, [[Noxx]], Turciothe "Bloodchild" succumbed to the [[Red Thirst]] within a matter of minutes, and, although after drinking blood from a wound it hasninflicted on Noxx, transformed into a vicious, rabid mutant.{{Cite This}} After this fiasco, Dante ordered Caecus to destroy his remaining "prototype" clones. But when Caecus returned to his laboratory, these clones had already been hatched by Magos Serpens, who was in fact [[Fabius Bile]] in disguise. He whimsically dubbed the clones "Bloodfiends," and turned them loose on the Blood Angels't been trained [[fortress-monastery]], before making his escape from [[Baal]]. The Bloodfiends attacked in force, being stronger, faster, and much more vicious than the [[Space Marines]], and several of them began to resist learn the use of armour and weapons scrounged from fallen Marines. Possessed by the Thirst, the so-called ''alpha'' clone invaded the Sanguinary Chapel and drained the [[Red ThirstGrail]] or , holding the distilled blood of [[Black RageSanguinius]] so it transformed into a monster come himself. This only inflamed its thirst, and the Bloodfiends massed together to be known as attack the Holy Sepulchre, where the [[Primarch]]'s body was interred. Dante led the defense of the Sepulchre, and the last of the Bloodfiends, the ''alpha'', was killed within a Bloodfiendhand's reach of the Primarch's sarcophagus by Rafen.{{Cite This}} == Biology and Description ==:Bloodfiends are began life as feral creatures at their most primitive stage, although they become became smarter, stronger, and more lethal with the amount or power potency of the blood they drinkdrank. Corpses left by Bloodfiends are were completely drained of all blood and vital fluids. {{Cite This}}:They're described as being a In appearance their skin was dark , reddish -brown with very tough skin that can in colour, and resilient enough to withstand multiple shots from a [[bolter]]. They have had extra joints in their hands, legs, and arms, they have and rows upon rows of razor -sharp fangs that gulp gulped blood from their victims. They also developed fleshy webs between their limbs that allowed them to glide down through the blood air from its victima great height. {{Cite This}} It is unknown how much of the Bloodfiends are ' makeup was the result of tampering by Bile or Caecus's own relative ignorance of replicae techniques. While making his proposal to Commander Dante, Caecus admitted that the Raven Guard's similar experiments had been a prominent antagonist catastrophic failure; when Bile was confronted in the Blood Angels novelCaecus's lab, he mocked that he had been running genetic experiments for over ten thousand years, and Caecus's work never had a chance of succeeding.{{Cite This}} ==Sources==*1: [[Red Fury]] by [[James Swallow]]., {{Cite This}} [[Category:Abhumans and Mutants]][[Category:Blood Angels (Novel Series)]]
