Its fibre over a point of quaternionic projective space is the quaternionic line represented by that point. As a real vector bundle it has rank four, and its unit sphere bundle is S4n+3→HPn. Right multiplication by a chosen imaginary unit equips it with complex rank two. Under the complex inclusion into quaternionic projective space, it restricts to L⊕L, where L is the complex tautological bundle. Thus its Euler class restricts to −c1​(L∗)2.
