Kill Team Mordelai
Kill Team Mordelai is one of the Deathwatch Kill-Teams, stationed on Watch Fortress Keep Extremis.[1a]
History
It was formed as Keep Extremis readied a Watch Company for Watch Captain Tannister to command in the defense of Vigilus, during the War of Beasts. This was after the Watch Fortress's forces successfully defended it from numerous Traitor attacks in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation. Kill Team Mordelai's members were the survivors of Keep Extremis most badly mauled Kill Teams, but they formed a quick bond with each other. This was due to the Team having all lost comrades, during the defense of their Watch Fortress and being struck with a desire to claim vengeance.[1a]
By the time they reached Vigilus, Kill Team Mordelai was ready to fight together.[1a] But as soon as the Watch Company reached its destination, aboard the Strike Cruiser Remorseless, Captain Tannister received distress calls from across the Vigilus System. He reacted to this new development by splitting his Company into its individual Kill-Teams and sending them to answer each distress call. Kill Team Mordelai would not fight on Vigilus and was instead dispatched to aid the settlement of Vain Hope on Falsehood. They deployed to the Death World via the Corvus Blackstar Alien's Bane and have since been able to destroy one of the encampments of the invading Drukhari.[1c]
