- "Today will be the last day of frail flesh brothers. Of ailing mind and heart. It will not be the end of suffering though, no so much more awaits in our future. Through this will we temper ourselves and make every bone as steel, our flesh as iron. We shall go through this program training for things a legion would only ever have nightmares about, yet such are the days ahead and more importantly we must do it without fear or hesitation."
- — Brother Sergeant Savarel
Savarel was the first Veteran Sergeant of the Sanguine Templars Space Marine Chapter. A veteran of the old IX Legion, he took part in many notable Imperial compliances and campaigns during both the Great Crusade and the subsequent Horus Heresy, including the epic Siege of Terra.
Background[]
The first veteran sergeant of the Sanguine Templars. Down his right arm was a coiling sleeve of the names of fellow Blood Angels, most of them now Sanguine Templars, from his brothers in initiation up till now whom served with him and called him Sergeant. A muddy red skull is stamped proudly on his forehead, sharing the same position as the Iron Skull on his helmet. The muscular back of this space marine has become a canvas for names of significance including those Dark Angels that helped train his squad when they were but scouts along with those Salamanders whom they stood alongside on Terra. Finally his left arm bore an inked-on chain-link running from shoulder to wrist, meant to be a collection of honour marks. A single 'badge' depicting a golden wall aflame represented the Siege, attached to the chains by a hook of simple design it stood as the lone achievement thus far.
