Gharvil was a Watch Captain of the Deathwatch.[1]

Gharvil was the ranking member of the Deathwatch aboard the Strike Cruiser Incontrovertible Truth when it was ambushed by the Black Legion as it dropped out of the Warp in the Erioch System. Gharvil ordered the launch of Thunderhawks to attempt to combat the Black Legion vessels, but the gunships were destroyed and the Incontrovertible Truth crippled.[1]

As the Black Legion boarded the ship, Gharvil took up his Power sword and met them in the port aft cargo hold with around fifteen of the Deathwatch Marines on board. Gharvil was ultimately killed by the Chaos Space Marines. In his last moments, he stood toe to toe with three Black Legionnaires, slaying two of them, in order to buy time for the remaining Deathwatch Marines to withdraw.[1]
