Death Mask of Sanguinius
The Death Mask of Sanguinius is an incredibly life like golden mask, that is said to have been modeled upon the features of the Blood Angels' slain Primarch, Sanguinius[1], and the relic is worn by the Chapter's Commanders.[2]
History
It contains the Blood Ruby, which is among two sources of the Primarch's unadulterated blood[2], along with the Halo Mortalis, Iron Halo and two adrenal inhaler intakes, which give the Blood Angels' Commanders enhanced respiratory function[3]. The Death Mask of Sanguinius has been incorporated into the armor of the Chapter's current Commander, Dante, and when he is in battle, the relic appears to come to life[1]. The Halo Mortalis also[3] emits a golden halo[1] psycho-terror energy field[3], that strikes terror into the hearts of his foes.[1]
