sanguineus

Use "sanguineus Mars" for the sword - it means "bloody Mars". "Sanguinem bibosus" means "somebody who can't have enough of blood". For the sword you can also use "ferox" which means "wild, feroceous". --- I hope this helps.

potator cruoris (sanguinis)

"potator cruoris" or "potator sanguinis"

potator = a drinker, toper, bibber
cruoris = of the blood which flows from a wound
sanguinis = of the blood in general

"sanguisuga" = a bloodsucker
"bibonius" = a hard drinker, tippler
"bibulus" = who likes to drink

I think "potator cruorem" is what you are looking for
