==Background==
The {{PAGENAME}} were created during the [[Second Founding]] and were composed of those Blood Angels that were considered the most glorious and faithful to the image of their [[Primarch]] [[Sanguinius]]. Before the {{PAGENAME}} were sent to forge their own history, the [[Sanguinary Priest]]s of the new [[Successor]] Chapters were gathered and presented with the [[Red Grail]] of the Blood Angels. Within the Red Grail was what remained of the blood of their Primarch Sanguinius and the newly anointed Sanguinary Priests were required to drink from it; thus the blood and vitality of Sanguinius would be preserved in the bodies of his children in these successor Chapters.{{Fn|12}}
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|6a6}} 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}}
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}}
==Gene-seed==
A flaw in the {{PAGENAME}}'s [[Gene-seed]] requires them to have [[Aspirant]]s, with a genetic make-up compatible with those the people of the Blood Angels' [[Homeworld]] of [[Baal]].{{Fn|12}}
===Black Rage===
Members who enter the [[Black Rage]] are strapped to the [[Tablet of Lestrallio]], in the Angels Sanguine's [[Fortress Monastery]]. Those who regain their senses are presented with the [[Shroud of Lemartes]], as a symbol of their mastery of the Black Rage.{{Fn|5b5}}
