Trivia

Pyriel is named after a (former?) member of the The Bolter & Chainsword(an internet forum focusing primarily on Space Marines and closely related factions). Pyriel is a prominent and long time member well known for his association with the Salamanders. Author Nick Kyme named the characters of Pyriel and Argos after the Bolter & Chainsword users Pyriel and Brother Argos (the owner of the Bolter & Chainsword forum, and another noted Salamander aficionado), in recognition of the guidance and support they gave him during the planning and writing of Salamander (Novel).[4]
