Blood vials are small crystalline cubes, designed by the First Civilization, to contain the blood of an individual, for the purpose of viewing said individuals actions, through the Observatory.
Once a blood sample had been collected, it was placed inside the Crystal Skull that powered the Observatory, which would then project what the donor was seeing and hearing in real time. Thousands of these vials were stored at the Observatory, containing the blood of a number of Precursors, but were materially worthless to anybody. It was for these reason that the Templars under Laureano de Torres y Ayala sought the Observatory; so that they might make use of its abilities to spy on and blackmail numerous government officials.
A few vials existed beyond the Observatory's walls, as one was needed, in conjunction with a sample of a Sages' blood, to permit access.
