  • The Sanguinary Priests keep a vigilant watch upon the genetic and spiritual well-being of their charges, and counsel them through the darkness of their Chapter's Flaw. It is known that some amongst the Blood Angels spend much time seeking a cure for these conditions, although most have resigned themselves to the slow and terrible decline of their Chapter. Some savants say that it is because Sanguinius was more touched by Chaos than the other Primarchs during his gestation capsule's flight through the Warp after he and his superhuman brothers were stolen from the Emperor's gene-laboratory. They cite the fact that he possessed wings -- an obvious mutation -- to support their case. Their argument runs that the gene-seed that was extracted from him was genetically flawed and corrupted even before the IX Legion was created from it by the Emperor, and thus terrible consequences were preordained. Other savants of the Astartes deny this, citing that the Emperor Himself trusted Sanguinius implicitly, and personally oversaw the creation of the Blood Angels. Certain Heretics counter this with the argument that the Emperor also once trusted Horus above all others in his Imperium, and that even He could make mistakes. Whilst the sermons and ceremonies of the Chapter's Chaplains exhort their Battle-Brothers to reject the anger within, those performed by the Sanguinary Priests call upon the Blood Angels to embrace the Red Thirst and wrest it to their control; unleashing its strength to buttress theirs when the day is darkest and the battle goes ill. Even to this day, the Sanguine Tower of the Priesthood, also known as the Tower of Amareo, is the only part of the Blood Angels' fortress-monastery that challenges the dark glory of the Chapter's Reclusiam. There are tales told of a secret chamber atop the Sanguine Tower from which emerge howling cries that demand the blood of the living, but none are willing to say for certain what secrets lie hidden in that haunted, desolate place. These two towers - one a shining beacon of redemption and renewal, the other sinister and sombre - remain a physical monument to the dual nature of every Blood Angels' soul.
