Editing Dante (section)

==The Sanguinor==
[[File:Sanguinoranddante.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Dante and the Sanguinor.]]
Dante has a special relationship with the Sanguinor, who has come to him several times in aid.
*The first time to save Dante when he was dying of thirst while trekking to Angel's Fall for the Blood Angels trial.
*The second time to aid Dante during the trials by stopping him from falling asleep.
* The third time Sanguinor appeared to save a young Dante's company from the Orks on Rora.
* The fourth time the Sanguinor appeared to pull Dante from the depths of the Red Thirst on Tobias Halt.
* The fifth time to dispel Dante's doubts about the shitty human experience in the Imperium, just before he became Captain of the 5th company.
* The sixth time was shortly after Chapter Master Dante sacrificed the world of Aeros during the Cryptus Campaign to delay the Tyrannids from reaching Baal and with the Sanguinor answering Dante's question that there is still hope in saving their homeworld.
* The seventh time was when Dante was dying and the Sanguinor heralding Sanguinius before Dante is healed.

And...counting. Since becoming Chapter Master, Dante has seen Sangunior many times. On the first occasion Dante had been praying to the Emperor to save him, and on the fifth occasion Dante had been invoking Sanguinius for guidance. This is interesting as the Blood Angels like Dante don't believe the Emperor and Sanguinius to be gods. Who is the Sanguinor and why does he help Dante? The Blood Angels do not consider him divine, but a mysterious entity which helps them in times of great peril. However, Dante was not yet a Space Marine when the Sanguinor first appeared to help him. So, the Sanguinor is some sort of Baalite entity, one who does not restrict himself to helping the Blood Angels (or because Sanguinius had the gift of foresight and the Sanguinor is connected to/an aspect of Sanguinius "they" knew that Dante was going to be chapter master).

Dante himself believes the Sanguinor to be a pure entity, and replied as such to an inquisitor who challenged the Blood Angels over the being's true nature. Interestingly, Dante feels close to Sanguinius during the Sanguinor's presence, almost as if "Sanguinius himself were there". Hmmmmm.

Update: The ''Devastation of Baal'' all but states Aratron still serves as the Herald for Sanguinius. Even in spirit form.
