This chapter is why Khorne wanted the Blood Angels so badly

[@Therestrial205]

Khorne wanted The Blood Angels and Sanguinius not because The Black Rage and this Chapter exist He already targeting them before the Black Rage existed He like them because Sanguinius really perfect for him An great honorable fighter and a War Master It's also possible that he's targeting them because of the Red Thirst

[@remygallardo7364]

@@Therestrial205 Also don't forget that even Horus said that Sanguinius should have been the warmaster and the best of the primarchs. Khorne set his eyes on the real prize among the children of the emperor.

Sanguinius encompassed both the good and bad aspects of Khornes domain while Angron only encompassed the bad.

[@jackbloomer1334]

A cool moment in devastation of baal the chapter master of the knights of blood is pretty much close to the black rage a Khorne greater daemon offers him to join the chapter master says fuck you to the daemon and charges the daemon along with the rest of his chapter

[@SilentRaider53]

I did gain a lot of respect for Gabriel Seth after reading "Devastation of Baal". He was ruthless, brutal, and uncompromising, but he clearly had a code of honor, had deep and unwavering love and respect for his gene-sire, and genuinely wished to have him and his chapter looked upon as proud warriors and not mindless monster. It was made clear that while you most certainly don't want to fight beside him, you definitely want him on your side.

[@Syst3m04]

That’s also why Dante put him with the Knights of Blood. Dante knew what the FT’s could become and wanted to show Seth what could happen if they embraced the flaw too much. That’s how I took it anyway, as a warning to a chapter he admires.

[@SilentRaider53]

@@freddymcshreddy6586 “Professionals have standard!” - Gabriel

[@mickbrown7793]

from memory, when Dante was asking for help, Seth's turning point was when Dante (mid-battle) referred to him as brother. Seth claimed it was the first time since his arrival on Baal that Dante had given him that respect. he'd refuse tribute to the Blood Angels chapter, but he would give aid to a brother.

[@NemFX]

Essentially. The idea is that Seth takes his space marine Vows* very seriously. "Let he who sheds his blood with me, be my battle brother eternal." Because they both ended up bloody fighting against Tyranids, they are bros now.

[@freddymcshreddy6586]

Another cool moment is when Sentor Jool (chapter master of the knights of blood) killed an innocent subordinate and offered up his blood to Gabriel as a way of extending friendship. Gabriel was immediately disgusted by this, not because he so casually killed someone’s but because that person was innocent. Despite how much Gabriel wants to indulge and drink his blood he refuses and says that he will never *willingly* do that to an innocent man.

[@Nurriek]

The passage where he kicks the shit out of his own primaris wasn't just because he was unimpressed with them. It was to demonstrate the harsh reality of what they were. Yeah, you're big. Yeah, you're strong. Yeah, you were made better. But are you actually better? Seth is an interesting character because even in contention with the Black Rage, he is never reckless. He can't afford to be. Everything he seems to do has a purpose. It has a point.

[@Makorze]

He also beat the Primaris marine to demonstrate two things. 1. Superior augmentations are no substitute for combat experience. 2. This is how a Flesh Tearer fights. (The latter is important as new Primaris have to struggle with a mental bias to make logical decisions and not act on instinct - "Ultramarines in Red" as Seth puts it. Space Wolves had a similar issue. Grimar solved it by putting a few firstborns in every Primaris company to teach them the Fenrisan way of War.)

[@stripeybag6977]

Apparently in a fairly recent look in game, despite the Blood Angels Detachment rule having a lower win rate than Gladius more Blood Angels players would rather not be Red Ultramarines so Brother Seth is proud. Also he's already like a head taller other Firstborns Astartes. Day 315 of requesting a Commissar Yarrick Major Mini pls and thank you.

[@raymanx187]

[@TheOfficialYOBC]

I still remember how Seth reacted to the Knights of Blood and their Chapter Master Sentor Jool. They were even more reckless and brutal.

[@FerreusVir]

I believe they were even declared traitors and didn't go renegade despite that. They died to a man during the siege of Baal, too.

Theres a fan fiction story about a group of primaris flesh tearers scared about a tsunami of tyranids about to crash into them. The sgt primaris sent a message to hq telling them they needed reinforcements but no one replied leading them to think the chapter hated them and were going to leave them out to hang,but out of nowhere they got a signal a drop pod was coming in. When the drop pod landed they all were shook to see gabriel seth himself exit the pod with some terminators as he crashed into the tyranid wave solo and started going ham enraging the primaris to all charge full speed into the nids in defense of their chapter master. This is my favorite flesh tearers story as it shows the kind of leader seth really is charging solo into a literal army of nids risking his life just to show the primaris who he doesnt like in the first place how they are expected to fight as flesh tearers. Even though this is not lore I feel like it's plausible for seth if he were to fight with the primaris.

[@insertedgynamehere]

I think that was just fanfiction written by baldermort for the intro to his Gabriel Seth video

[@secondarytrollaccount]

@@insertedgynamehere nah you're right I just went on balds channel and found it. That's a shame it was just fan fic but what made me think it was legit was how well dude writes and delivers his stories. I changed my original comment to not mislead anyone to think that story is canon.

[@Animogx]

Flesh Tearers and the Lamentors are my favorite Blood Angel successor chapters, being noble sons of the Angel but having a shadow cast on them even when they still fight with everything to live up to that legend. From a video from the Rememberencer I heard in Gabriel's trial that it was noted that each successor chapter represented a facet of Sanguinius, making the Flesh Tears and most certainly Gabriel all the more important, showing that darkness inside of the Angels but also the strength to overcome it. I also admit bias for Gabriel as his last name is my first name lol

[@TheRedMan77]

Didn't Seth also get locked in a room with an Eversor - _alone_ - and actually managed to kill it? I mean sure, he had to wait for it to burn itself out and spent most of the fight trying not to get his spine ripped out but still. How many people have survived and won against an Eversor by themselves?

[@NemFX]

Yes. The point of that story was to show his intelligence. Seth waits for it to start screwing up, cuts it's hands off, escapes the trap he was in, then uses the Eversor against the guy that 'hired' the Eversor in the first place.

To put in perspective how insane it is that the Flesh Tearers drove Orks to actually fear and avoid them, the only other example of that happening that comes to mind is when the Primary Jaghatai Khan enters his flow state and starts ripping them to shreds. even if it's an entire chapter of psychos, the fact that they can inspire the same level of fear as a Primarch in battle is pretty wild.

[@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623]

The Flesh Tearers are why deeply flawed Chapters are so much more interesting then the poster boys in blue. As humans we are flawed ourselves, so we identify more with people who are flawed as well then with people who appear to be perfect.

[@NemFX]

Most people don't get the WHY of that; they didn'tunderstandwhy the Flesh Tearers would reject the primaris. Seth thought they were acting too superior, that they had no flaws, and showed no anger. Seth only beat him up to make him actually mad enough to fight back. Then he stopped and was like "Good. You DO get mad. See, for all your advantages, you're still like us. And if they made you better at everything else, how do you think you'll manage against the curse?"

Okay, admittedly Gabriel Seth is not the deepest character. He knows his role, and he plays it perfectly. He isn't an idiot, as most would believe. He isn't the strongest by any measure. No, Seth has a role that most people don't notice. Endurance. Seth has a mission for his chapter. He knows they are doomed. He is going to go down in as much glory as possible. He saw what happened to the Knights of Blood, in the defense of Baal. He doesn't want to be remembered as an out of control hoarde. He is very careful with his fights, trying to win with as few losses as possible. Except when the act of fighting is more important than the outcome. He literally went to Astorath's tower. The guy who kills the out of control Death Company. Foght him hand to hand, and managed a stalemate. Astorath. The guy who literally puts down the strongest of the Blood Angels. Astorath's first major hit is described as a thunderhammer to Seth's face. He manages to endure it. The fight isn't long. Astorath has a jump pack, Seth breaks it. They both put each other in the hospital. Seth, on his way out says that if Astorath kills a single more Flesh Tearer, he'll come back, but won't be alone and unarmed. Seth would literally start a war to save his brothers under his care. THAT is why Seth deserves the respect he has.
