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}} Similarly, without his guidance the Blood Angels fleet would not have known the location of [[M'kar the Reborn]]'s [[Daemonship]] as it entered the [[Baal]] system, perhaps saving the planet from destruction.{{Fn|1}}
However these successes have not come without cost, for Corbulo has become more withdrawn, with some suspecting that he has foreseen a grave future for the Blood Angels.{{Fn|1}}
