The '''{{PAGENAME}}De Profundis''' was a [[Battle Barge]] in the [[Word Bearers]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Serrated Sun]] [[Chapter]]{{Fn|1a}} and also served as the Flagship of the [[1,301st Expeditionary Fleet]] during the [[Great Crusade]]{{Fn|1c}}. It was commanded by the Serrated Sun's [[Chapter Master]] [[Deumos]]{{Fn|1a}}, until he was killed by the [[Adeptus Custodes]] [[Vendatha]] during the [[Primarch]] [[Lorgar]]'s [[The Pilgrimage|Pilgrimage]]{{Fn|1b}}. Afterwards, it was commanded by Chapter Master [[Argel Tal]] and later took part in the [[Dropsite Massacre]]; where it fired upon the unsuspecting loyalists.{{Fn|1d}}
Later in the Heresy, the vessel fell under the control of the [[Possessed]] Word Bearer [[Toc Derenoth]] who fused with its [[Machine Spirit]] to create a semi-sentient Daemonic monstrosity. At the [[Battle of Anuari]] the ''De Profundis'' led a traitor ambush against [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s fleet and Toc Derenoth intentionally destroyed the vessel in order to bombard Guilliman's ship, the ''[[Samothrace]]'', with debris in order to lower its [[Void Shield]]s.{{Fn|2}}
