(Warhammer 40K story) The Ninth Legion: Blood Angels (IX) (The children of the Angel Sanguinius) The Blood Angels were the ninth legion forged in the Emperor’s secret laboratory on Terra, using the genetic seed of his Primarch, the Blood Angels were deployed as a withering strike force that had to resist in the most adverse and cruel situations of war without possibility of receiving help. The stress of carrying under his shoulders the constant pressure of fighting in the most toxic and savage environments developed in the Novena an uncontrolled “thirst for blood” that turned the conquests into a carnage where the Novena itself is reduced to the condition of murderous beasts; Such unpleasant acts in the eyes of the Emperor left a bad impression on the creator of him who condemned his “bloodlust” with exile to distant worlds to disappear into the darkness into which he had fallen. Cursed and despised by the other legions it seemed that the Ninth was destined to become an evil army that would soon be hunted by the Empire itself, but in the deepest precipice the Ninth found the light of the Angel again. When Primarch “Sanguinius” met his Father again, the Emperor and his respective legion discovered under his leadership the curse of his children and promised not to abandon them in the dark; The Angel’s wisdom was enough to rehabilitate the deteriorating Ninth Legion who was reborn as a phoenix by demonstrating a greater commitment to saving enslaved worlds and forgiving their inhabitants from any rebellion (compassion) but their greatest challenge of self-control would soon reveal itself as a purpose. divine guardian angels for humanity. (Demon hordes were about to invade the empire)
