Kuldoth Moar[1] is the current Chapter Master of the Angels Vermillion.[2] Before he attained his current title, Moar was the Chapter's First Blade when the Blood Angels High Chaplain Hereon arrived at his Homeworld Corinal, in 428.M41. Hereon had come to question the Angels Vermillion about the disappearance of the Imperium refuges that had come Corinal for safety, after their world, Dovar, was invaded by Xenos. However, his visit ended with the discovery that the majority of the refuges had been drained of their blood as part of a ritual that the Angels Vermillion called The Sorrowing. Their blood was to be placed into the Angels Vermillion's power armour dispensers and, in that way, the Chapter kept the Black Rage at bay for decades, with only a few of their Battle Brothers falling into the grips of the Red Thirst each year. This meant nothing to Hereon, who was shocked at the abomination of a ritual the Chapter had been perpetuating in secret for millennia and vowed to put a stop to it. He would be blackmailed into leaving, though, after the Angels Vermillion's previous Chapter Master, Chauld, threatened to reveal the existence of their bloodline's curses to the Inquisition, should the Blood Angels ever move against his Chapter. If the Angels Vermillion were to be destroyed, Chauld warned, then they would ensure all of the Sons of Sanguinius would die as well. Seeing that he had no choice, Hereon reluctantly agreed to leave and would make excuses for the disappearance of the refuges.[1]

When he returned to Baal, Hereon informed his Chapter Master of the horrors their Successor Chapter had committed[1] and Dante immediately ordered that the Angels Vermillion were to be shunned and their aid was never to be accepted by the Blood Angels.[2] This mattered little to Moar and his Chapter though, as they had long ago cut ties with the Blood Angels and they knew The Sorrowing allowed them to continue to loyally serve the Imperium.[1] Chauld would continue to lead the Angels Vermillion until his death in battle with Necrons and afterwards Moar succeeded him as Chapter Master. However, under Moar's rule, The Sorrowing had become even more extreme and caused many within the Chapter to dissent about the ritual's usage. This later had an impact, when Moar ordered his Chapter not to aid in the defense of Baal when it faced an imminent invasion by Hive Fleet Leviathan. Because his rule had become so controversial, though, several Captains and their Companies disregarded his orders and went to defend the Homeworld of their Primarch Sanguinius.[2]
