'''The Lion's Mane''' is a [[stasis casket]] containing a few hairs from the head of the [[Primarch]] [[Lion El'Jonson]], used originally possessed by the [[Disciples of Caliban]] [[Chapter]]. The bearer of this Relic is inspired by the closeness of his Primarch and the manifest legacy of his Chapter. While he bears the Mane, he is immune to the effects of fear.{{Fn|1}}
In late [[M38]], a [[Disciples of Caliban]] strike force made its way into the [[Jericho Reach]], where it engaged a force of black-armoured [[Chaos Space Marines]] over a full [[Space Marine Company|company]] in strength. The traitors had knowledge of the local environments that allowed them to reap a heavy toll of the Disciples, until the intervention of a veteran [[Deathwatch]] [[Kill-teamTeam]] was able to disrupt their ambushes and assist the strike force. No explanation was given as to the significance of the battles, but this relic was given to the Deathwatch in thanks for their aid.{{Fn|1}}
