Torch of the Vigil
The Torch of the Vigil is an Astartes heavy flamer belonging to the Death Spectres Chapter.[1]
Late in the 36th Millennium, a Deathwatch Kill-team was allied with a squad of Death Spectres Space Marines 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 sergeant of the Death Spectres, an 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 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.[1]
