Editing Cardinal Knights (section)

=== Master of Sanctity, Chapter Master Puro Corazón, Heart Taker ===
Puro Corazón has served as both Chapter Master and Master of Sanctity for the Cardinal Knights for almost 400 years. He is their 9th chapter Master. However, the events that have led to his entitlement as Master of the Chapter is not one most would hope to experience, and he has not so much led his chapter for 400 years as much as been a part of it.

The son of a holy man in his tribe, whose name he does not remember, upon being taken by Cardinal Knights he had the honour of being chosen by the warriors of the Emperor. His faith and righteousness were quickly determined, and the Master of Sanctity took the fresh Puro under his wing, teaching himthe ways of the Chapter, their rituals and practices, oaths of fury and purity, and most importantly the rites of burial and ritual embalming and mummification of fallen brothers. He learned quickly and by the time he was a full fledged brother and Chaplain the Master of Sanctity had named him as Successor.

Corazón served as the Master of Sanctity for a century under the Head Librarian and Chapter Master Alma Escura, who he greatly respected. However, such was not to last. He watched as Alma Escura grew rather strange and distant, seemingly leading his Chapter to many great victories and yet isolating himself further and further. Corazón grew suspicious and began to investigate both his Chapter Master and the Chapter's long string of victories. It was not long before he realized the terrible truth, something he had thought was true in his gut for a long time now... Alma Escura was a servant of Khorne.

At the Great Celebration Corazón finally brought his evidence forward, accusing Alma Escura of heresy and declaring him a traitor to the Emperor before the assembled Chapter. As the battle of the celebration began his suspicions were confirmed when Escura became a Daemon Prince before his very eyes. The two dueled for a short time, and were it not for the device Corazón's compatriots had created he would have lost. In the end, Escura was slain by his hand, and Corazón took the heart of the foul Daemon into his own chest, in order to trap the foul creature in this realm in a cage of piety and purity. 

Now the heart is both his maintainer and his destroyer, giving him great power at the cost of destroying his body as it cannot corrupt his soul. Ensconced in his great Sarcophagus, he now fights its corrupting influence every day.

The Master of Sanctity has since been placed on life support in a Dreadnought specifically designed to assist in the extraction of the hearts of enemies. Though he is in a state of deactivation most of the time, during brutal campaigns the Chapter Master is awakened so that he may wreak havoc in the name of the Emperor, satiate his heart's desire for blood, and suppress the horrible pain within him.
