Changes

The role of '''Sanguinor''' began during the Horus Heresy, specifically the '''Unremembered Empire''' of [[Imperial Secundus]]. Believing [[Terra]] had already fallen, [[Roboute Guilliman]] and [[Lion El'Jonson]] elected [[Sanguinius]] as the new '''EmperorImperator Regis'''. But, unwilling to allow Sanguinius to make public appearances for fear of assassins, [[Azkaellon ]] convinced his father to allow a herald to speak on Sanguinius' behalf. Azkaellon gathered ten [[Sanguinary Guard]] and had them each draw lots, two of which were marked in blood. Dismissing the eight that did not win, the names of the two remaining Guard, [[Alatron ]] and [[Haratial ]] were put in a grail and one was picked randomly. Alatron's name was chosen and in order to keep the identity secret, Azkaellon killed Haratial. Azkaellon then drew a white hot helm in the visage of Sanguinius from a fire and placed it over Alatron's head, forever searing the helm to flesh and ensuring Alatron would forever be The Sanguinor.{{Fn|3}} The Sanguinor, now known simply as '''The Herald''', served in his role for several years. Later when Sanguinius, Guilliman, and Lion El'Jonson attempted to reach Terra through the [[Ruinstorm]], the Herald attempted to [[Second Battle of Davin|rescue Sanguinius]] from the clutches of the [[Daemon]] [[Madail]] on [[Davin]]. As Sanguinius battled Madil and was torn between a portal that linked the Materium and the Daemonically corrupted-ship ''[[Veritas Ferrum]]'', The Herald took his place. The Herald and Madail fell together into the collapsing portal, and Sanguinius saw his son transform into a golden angelic form as he was consumed by the energies of the Warp.{{Fn|4}}
