Quixus Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Basically what it says on the title. Dante, Astorath, Corbulo, Lemartes etc. all only have one name. Is that something that true for all BA marines? Successors and other chapters don't seem to follow that naming convention (Gabriel Seth, Marneus Calgar, etc.) When does this naming occur? At birth (i.e. a custom of Bhaal) or at initiation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Lem Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 When the Blood Angels Legion split, the Flesh Tearers chapter retained the Right of Two Names (Gabriel Seth, for example). The Blood Angels were forced to retain one name for each brother, thus creating the Baal Secundus paradox - there being no second name for the Son's of Baal.

Leonaides Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 A theory is only ever as good as the research put into it... I've been brewing a corker for the last decade - might let it out in 30-40 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
