The '''Blood Gorgons''' are a traitor chapter whose actions are localised in the [[Bastion Sector]]. They were founded during the [[Cursed Founding]].{{Fn|1}} From the planets they have conquered in the Bastion sector, the Gorgons strike against the [[Imperium]], also protecting those same planets to use as recruiting worlds. Their heraldry is the Gorgon head of old Greek mythology.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
==Overview==
One of the most notable elements of the Blood Gorgons is their blood-rituals process by which two members of the warband become "bond-brothers". The process, derived from [[Chaotic]] lore, involves exchanging organs, blood, and tissue between two members. The process can be extremely dangerous due to Daemonic corruption, but in the end both brothers emerge stronger and draw their power from one another.{{Fn|1}}
Unique to their chapter is that unlike most Traitor Astartes, the Gorgons do not tend to use fear and intimidation to achieve their own goals. Much rather they show a level of understanding and focus that is rarely seen by the Traitor Legions.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
===Known Activities===
*On the planet [[Solo-Baston]] four Blood Gorgons led an insurrection of the indigenous population, known as the [[Carnibales]], against Imperial forces. The four Gorgons called themselves [[Dos Pares]]. They assisted the tribals by teaching them basic military strategy, smuggling disassembled weaponry on planet and also genetic alteration using Daemon blood to create their '''Disciples'''.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
