 '''Corbulo''' is the [[Sanguinary High Priest]] of the [[Blood Angels]].
== History ==
It is his duty to guard the [[Red Grail]], the holy cup which was used to preserve the blood of [[Sanguinius]] after he was slain. It is from this cup that the assembled Sanguinary Priests drink as part of the ritual of initiating a new [[Sanguinary Priest]].{{Fn|1}}
Corbulo resembles the [[Primarch]] of the Blood Angels, [[Sanguinius]] both physically and spiritually. He has become determined to cure the Blood Angels and their successors of the [[Red Thirst]], a quest that has taken him across the galaxy in search of wonders from the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. In addition, he shares Sanginius's foresight and has limited abilities in [[Divination]]. However while this gift is sometimes used to the Chapter's advantage in battle, he is most focused on researching a cure to his chapter's affliction.{{Fn|1}}
Nonetheless, his skills have been put to good use by the Chapter in other fields. The reason the Blood Angels arrived so quickly to counter the [[Second War for Armageddon]] by the [[Ork]] [[Ghazghkull]] was due to his divination.{{Fn|1}}
===Defence of Baal===
Corbulo was present on [[Baal]] after the [[Arkio]] Insurrection. He participated in the council, along with [[Commander Dante]] and [[Chief Librarian]] [[Mephiston]], when Dante decided to call a conclave of the Angels' [[Successor Chapter]]s.{{Fn|2b}} One of his subordinate [[Sanguinary Priest]]s, [[Caecus]], proposed the radical solution of using [[replicae]] (cloning) techniques to replace the Angels' losses, but Dante disapproved of the plan.{{Fn|2x}}
When [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Rydae]] of the [[Angels Sanguine]] was accidentally killed by Caecus, Corbulo began to examine him, but [[Chapter Master]] [[Sentikan]] held him back, preventing the dead Captain's helmet from being removed.{{Fn|2c}} During the surprise attack by the [[Bloodfiend]]s on the chapel of the [[Red Grail]], Corbulo tried to stop their leader, the ''alpha'', but was knocked aside and could not stop the fiend from draining its contents down its throat. He was, however, able to save the Grail from being stolen.{{Fn|2d}} Later, he fought alongside Dante and the other Space Marines when the Bloodfiends assaulted the Holy Sepulchre where [[Sanguinius]]'s remains were interred.{{Fn|2e}}
