Sanguinius

Sanguinius is the primarch of the IX Legion: Blood Angels. Sanguinius is described as wearing golden armour with beautiful detail throughout. He also has large wings, long blonde hair and wields a large sword. Sanguinius and his legion stayed loyal to the Emperor throughout the heresy, but ultimately Sanguinius was killed by the Warmaster Horus onboard his flagship the Vengeful Spirit.

Sanguinius' name is held to great honour among the primarchs, as he sacrificed himself to allow the Emperor to kill the Warmaster Horus

Youth and Beginnings
Sanguinius and all of his brothers were created in the Emperor's laboratory on Terra, however before completion, an unknown power spread the pods far and wide. Sanguinius' pod landed on a remote part of the desolate Baal Secundus, a place of which is now called Angel's Fall. He was found by one of the wandering tribes, The Folk of Pure Blood, or simply The Blood, found him. It was then that his life was nearly ended as tiny vestigal wings sprouted from his back; he had been touche d by the Warp more than most.

Ultimately it was the tribes compassion that saved him. Sanguinius was taken in, and grew quickly. When he was a year old he looked to be in his youthful prime. As he grew so too did his wings, which were soon able to hold him up in the desert air. He learned fast, soon surpassing his teachers' skill in every way.

Adulthood upon Baal
When a wandering band of mutants attacked the camp, Sanguinius slew every one of them, even though they numbered over a hundred, for when the Blood-Rage overtook him he was a terrifying sight to behold, his full Primarch powers awoke to fullness and a nimbus of light surrounded his head.

He soon grew within the tribe, eventually becoming leader of the tribe.

Time with the Emperor, and the Great Crusade
When the Emperor searched for his sons, his supreme psychic powers led him to Baal. His ship landed in the centre of the camp, and the emperor walked straight to Sanguinius' abode. when he walked in, Sanguinius instantly knew who he was, and knelt before him. The Emperor performed the complex operation to remove the Gene-Seed from his D.N.A.
