{{SpaceMarinesPortalDeathwatchPortal}}The '''Torch of the Vigil ''' is an [[Astartes ]] [[heavy flamer used by ]] formerly belonging to the the [[Death Spectres ]] [[Chapter]]. Late in the [[M36|36th millennium]], a [[Deathwatch ]] [[Kill-team ]] was allied with a squad of Death Spectres [[Space Marines belonging to the Death Spectres Chapter ]] in an action against a vile [[xenos ]] species deep in what would one day become the [[Orpheus Salient]]. Together, the two squads were able to eradicate the alien threat, but not before the [[Space Marine Sergeant|sergeant ]] of the Death Specters, a an [[Veteran Sergeant|honoured veteran ]] of the Chapter, was eviscerated by the vicious beasts. It was only by the actions of the members of the Kill-team that the sergeant’s sergeant's [[gene-seed ]] was preserved and harvested and his ancient wargear recovered. As a reward for their aid, the Death Spectres presented the stewards of [[Watch Fortress Erioch ]] with this mighty relic.{{fnFn|1}} ==SourcesSource==
