A '''Sanguinary Ancient''' is a member of the [[Sanguinary Guard]] that carries their [[Chapter Standard]] to battle.{{Fn|1}}
They are chosen, before each conflict, by a council of [[Sanguinary Guard|their peers]] for the honor of doing so, as the [[Chapter Standard]] is only brought to war in time of great need. The sight of such a wondrous relic being cared by the Sanguinary Ancient, however, inspires warriors of the [[Imperium]] to turn crushing defeats into glorious victories.{{Fn|1}} ==See also==*[[Chapter Ancient]]
