Vilemaw
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Vilemaw[1]
Vilemaw is a relic Traitor Legion Bolter that has a daemon comparable to a lesser Astral Spectre imprisoned within it.[1]
The weapon was once wielded by Ahn Sokar, the Icon Bearer and later Coryphaus of the Word Bearers' 39th Host, but it somehow later found itself on Iniquity, laying upon a makeshift shrine of bone and steel. Though some have tried to possess the bolter, Vilemaw is a proud and belligerent weapon that is unwilling to suffer the touch of mortals. As a result, any unworthy soul which tries to claim it will soon find their bodies used to make Vilemaw's shrine grow even larger.[1]
