Editing Sanguinor (section)

===True Origins===
The GW digital advent calendar presented us with a story called '''"The Herald of Sanguinius"'''. Set at the beginning of the [[Imperium Secundus]], the [[Derp|New]] [[Emperor]] [[Sanguinius]] finds himself overwhelmed by petitions from people who wish to speak to him.

Captain of the [[Sanguinary Guard]] [[Azkaellon]], already considered a bit possessive in his duties as a bodyguard, gets a bit paranoid about letting all these people see his [[Primarch|father]], as he suspects treachery and betrayal everywhere. Sanguinius agrees that he cannot sit on a throne all day and hear petitions, so between them they agree to create a Herald who will speak for Sanguinius whenever the Primarch is busy doing something else.

To this end, the Sanguinary Guard came together and allowed two of their number, '''Aratron''' and Haratial to nominate themselves for this new position of "stand-in Emperor", then left the room whilst they drew straws between them. The "winner" was Aratron, whilst [[Azkaellon]] slew Haratial to keep Aratron's identity a secret ''(though any Blood Angel with half a brain would have realised that both guards were missing and had a 50/50 chance of guessing the right one)'' Then Aratron's face was permanently sealed within a golden mask and from then on referred to only as "The Sanguinor".

However, the original Aratron-Sanguinor stood in Sanguinius' stead on Davin by holding a daemon of Chaos Undivided in place, trapped in a portal between the warp and reality upon a fulcrum of destiny while the planet was then obliterated from orbit. This was a task that Sanguinius had set himself in the hopes of sparing the Blood Angels from the Black Rage without turning into a monster even worse than Horus as his visions suggested would happen to him if he survived the Horus Heresy, though realised in another vision that his sons would suffer the Black Rage on the event of his death in any case. However, the Sanguinor stepped in wordlessly and stood for him, setting the example of the best that Blood Angels could possibly be, becoming a symbol much more than a "warrior of flesh and bone." Sanguinius also observed that he began transforming into a "golden angelic form" as he entered the portal.

Azkaellon would later survive the Horus Heresy as the sole remaining Sanguinary Guard and also the only person who knew the identity of the Sanguinor, meaning unless he took the role himself or appointed a new one, the secret died with him. In modern 40k it is quite possible that the Sanguinor is just a continuation of the old tradition of creating a herald for their Primarch. If the role is ''not'' just simply a succession of individuals wearing the same armour then the original Aratron may exist in warp limbo in a similar way to [[Kaldor Draigo]] if not becoming an outright warp entity himself, potentially being summoned by all the mass worship of Sanguinius throughout all the Imperium, unlike any other Imperial Saint or Primarch. Since the Ministorum's usual worship is enough to create small "miracles" for the Adepta Sororitas, having the original Sanguinor become the genuine "Angel" of the Imperium and popping out of the warp whenever he is required makes a level of sense.
