==History==
The Stigmartyr was entrusted by [[Rogal Dorn]] to the first Excoriators. Carrying the decree of the [[Second Founding]], the distinction of the [[Astartes Praeses]] and honors honours from every battle fought, it gets its name from the emblem that the Excoriators would eventually adopt as their own, a fist clenching a thunderbolt.{{Fn|1a}}
Sometime during [[M41]], the Stigmartyr was held by [[Zachariah Kersh]], [[Chapter Champion|Scourge]] to then-[[Chapter Master]] [[Quesiah Ichabod]].{{Fn|1a}} During an inspection of a Chapter house on [[Ignis Prime]], Ichabod and Kersh were ambushed by the [[Alpha Legion]]. During the fighting, Kersh fell to an affliction know known as [[Excoriators#Gene-seed|The Darkness]],{{Fn|1c}} and the Stigmartyr was subsequently lost.
In their search for the Stigmartyr, the [[5th Company (Excoriators)|Fifth Company]] was lured into a trap at [[Veiglehaven]] by the Alpha Legion, where half of the Company was lost.{{Fn|1b}}
