The original '''Pyroclasts''' were created by [[Inquisitor]] [[Malachai Heritor]] of the [[Ordo Xenos]] in 643.[[M40]], as the last measure to end xeno infestations through holy fire when everything else had failed. Their success led to their adoption by the [[Ordo Malleus]].{{Fn|1}}
The first recorded use of the Pyroclasts was the '''Cleansing of Dreah'''. After discovering that the grain [[tithe]] of the [[Agri-World]] had been tainted by [[Chaos]], Inquisitor [[Helden Karros]] equipped three [[Imperial Guard]] regiments with flamers and ordered them to cleanse all vegetation within a thousand kilometers radius of the original infection site.{{Fn|1}}
