Amit

Among all the sons of Sanguinius, none embodied the Legion's buried horror so openly as Amit, a captain whose ferocity in battle bordered on the very thing his brothers laboured to hide. Where the Blood Angels prized grace, Amit prized the kill, and he made no secret of the joy he took in it, a warrior who had looked into the Red Thirst and chosen, in some measure, to embrace rather than fear it. His brothers regarded him with a wary respect, for none doubted his loyalty or his skill, and few wished to stand where his blade was falling.

Through the massacre at Signus and the long road to Terra, Amit's savagery was a weapon Sanguinius wielded knowingly, aiming it where an enemy needed not to be beaten but broken utterly. His candour about the Legion's flaw unsettled a brotherhood that preferred silence, yet it also made him honest in a way few others dared to be. In the age of reorganisation that followed the Heresy, it would be Amit's uncompromising nature that gave rise to a successor Chapter apart, the Flesh Tearers, who would carry the Thirst openly as both their curse and their grim inheritance.
