[[Image:SangPortrait.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Sanguinius]]
When the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] began his [[Great Crusade]] to reunite the [[galaxy]] he created the Primarchs, superhuman warriors to lead his Space Marines across the galaxy. The powers of [[Chaos]] stole the Primarchs, but unable to destroy them, set them astray in the [[Warp]]. The infant Sanguinius came to rest upon the radiation-soaked moon of [[Baal|Baal Secundus]] and was adopted by a tribe of humans known as the 'People of the Pure Blood' or simply 'The Blood', Sanguinius, like all Primarchs, grew quickly and soon surpassed all his teachers and was capable of mighty feats of strength and endurance. At three weeks, he was a large child capable of walking. Within a year, he was taller than any man. Before even being found by The Blood, Sanguinius slew an infamous predator known as the Baalite Fire Scorpion.{{Fn|1}}
