Azkaellon

Azkaellon, known to his brothers as ' The Bloodied ' is the current Chapter Champion of the bellicose and often savage Charnel Brethren Space Marine Chapter. Azkaellon is the personal Champion and blade of the Archangel Michaelus, who utilises Azkaellon as an agent of judgment, to bring his wrath to those he has chosen for death. He rarely, if ever, leaves his master's side, and is often seen in the thickest of battle bringing death and carnage to those that would dare assail his lord. Despite the adulation of his battle-brothers, Azkaellon struggles with the darkest of secrets - his is afflicted by the genetic flaw known as the Black Rage which is inherent in the gene-seed of all Scions of Sanguinius. Lost in the throes of the nightmarish visions of his Primarch's final hours, he must be chained up in-between battles, raging for the blood of Mankind's foes, and is only unleashed upon the enemy when Lord Michaelus deems it necessary.

Background
Chapter Champion and one of the most formidable warriors in the Chapter, he epitomises everything that the sons of Sanguinius stand for but all is not what it seems, Azkaellon is a broken man, lost in the depths of the Black Rage. He lives only for the thrill of battle and the feeling of blood splashed on his face, chained up when not in battle and screaming in rage he is unleashed only at the word of his Chapter Master and whose word is the only one capable of halting his rampage.
