Mathias Vlain was a Chaplain of the Black Templars Chapter.[1]

He worked alongside Castellan Marius Reinhart to led a chapter taskforce on Stygia XII tasked with reclaiming the abandoned chapter keep Montgisard and delivering the fallen battle-brother Ezekial Yesod to its catacombs so he could be interred within a Dreadnought.[1]

Matters were complicated by the presence of a Chaos Cult that had emerged on Stygia XII - the heretics were planned to open a warp gate on the planet and had made Montgisard their base of operations. This had attracted the attention of Inquisitor Abraham Vinculus of the Ordo Hereticus, who had dispatched one of his acolytes, Interrogator Edwin Savaul, to stop the cult with support from the Fourth Inquisitorial Storm Trooper Regiment and Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Bloody Rose.[1]

Reinhart chose to ally with the Inquisitor's forces. Accessing a hidden passage into Montgisard known only to the Templars, they made their way into the fortress, bypassing the bulk of the cult. Reinhart was originally going to fulfil the task force's initial mission, abandoning Savaul and the Sororitas, but was convinced to aid them further. Instead, installing Yesod in the Dreadnought fell to Mathias and the task force's Techmarines, Cerebus and Fernus.[1]

Mathias and the Techmarines made their way to Montgisard's vault and successfully bonded Yesod with his Dreadnought despite the vault coming under attack from the rallying cultists. However, the cultists were reinforced by a rogue psyker that attempted to take control of the Black Templars in the vault. Mathias shot Cerebus and Fernas with his bolt pistol, killing both, before he was killed in turn by Apothecary Ackolon.[1]
