→Pre-History
Prior to then, the [[Red Thirst]] was a rare but dreaded phenomenon, known only to Sanguinius and some members of his inner circle, including [[First Captain]] [[Raldoron]], [[Sanguinary Guard]] Commander [[Azkaellon]], and [[High Warden]] [[Beruss]]. On the rare occasions when a [[Battle Brother]] was lost to the Thirst, his armour's [[company]] markings were blotted out by black paint, and his [[geneseed]] was removed for analysis, rather than being returned to the [[Legion]]'s stores.{{Fn|2}}
After Brother [[AlotrosAlatros]] succumbed to the Thirst on [[Melchior]], forcing Sanguinius to execute him, Raldoron took steps to conceal the death, and remarked to the corpse, ''"you are in the company of death. I hope you will find peace there."''{{Fn|2}}
