[[Image:SanguinorArt.jpg|thumb|right|The Sanguinor battles [[Tyranids]] ]]
The '''Sanguinor''' is a mysterious figure that appears during the [[Blood Angels]]' greatest need. To many among the battle-brothers of the Chapter he is a myth, as few ever survive the battles that warrant his appearance, but members of the Blood Angels' [[Reclusiam ]] know otherwise, keeping detailed records of his manifestations throughout the millennia.
While the Sanguinor's deeds are unquestioned, there has been much debate regarding his true nature. Members of the Chapter Council argue that he is the manifestation of [[Sanguinius]]' noble nature, lost to the Chapter with his death at the hands of [[Horus]], while the [[Sanguinary Guard]] believe that he is the founder of their Order, [[Azkaellon]], preserved beyond time through the Emperor's grace.{{Fn|1a}} There are Blood Angels who believes that Sanguinor is a soul of a wronged brother seeking redemption and there are those who do not believe in Sanguinor at all, thinking that it is just a symbol of Blood Angels rage.{{Fn|2}} The [[Inquisition]] have their own opinions about the matter, theorizing that the Sanguinor is some sort of psychic construct, furthering their thoughts that the Blood Angels are just one step short of damnation. Whatever the truth of the matter is, the Sanguinor is an honoured part of the heritage of the Chapter, as integral as the rest of their traditions and mysteries.{{Fn|1a}}.
