Angels of the Voracious Chalice

The Angels of the Voracious Chalice, known commonly as "the Voracious", were once the noble but doomed Knights of the Throne. This Lost Chapter of the Blood were doomed to the blood God by fate, but are now bound to the Dark Prince by choice. Connoisseurs of blood, they seek new flavours by mixing the blood of Xenos, Daemon and the myriad breeds of humans together. Special pleasure is taken in rite of Black Sanguinalia, an impromptu celebration that takes place whenever they defeat their own gene kin in battle.

Successive Chapter Masters of the Knights were tormented by a prophecy that they would fall to the Red Thirst and through it the Blood God. in his quest to defy the prophecy, he follows visions of an angelic being supposedly helping them. in the end, the being leads them to the Voracious Chalice, upon a forbidden desecrated Imperial shrine world that was dedicated to Sangninus. their, the being reveals it's true identity - Fulgrim, dashing hopes that it was the Emperor or Sangininus who sent the visions. the chapter was always doomed, the Gods were simply competing for them. Fulgrim offers them a form of damnation that involves other emotions more palatable than eternal rage - if they drink from the chalice, which the half of the chapter who agree do, and proceed to butcher the other half, who are near senseless berserkers and easily tricked into a ambush.
