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. 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. 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}} It is also said that Corbulo was able to forewarn the chapter of the coming [[Tyranid]] [[Devastation of Baal|assault on Baal]].{{Fn|5}}
However these successes have not come without cost, for Corbulo has become more withdrawn, with some suspecting that he has foreseen a grave future for the Blood Angels.{{Fn|1}}
