Mephitic Perdition of Flies
The Mephitic Perdition of Flies was once the Power Fist of the loyalist Death Guard Solun Decius, who contrary to the Death Guard’s typical combat doctrine, preferred to engage his foes up close.[1][2]
When the Eisenstein made its legendary flight to warn the Emperor of Horus’s treachery, Decius was among those of the Death Guard who remained loyal. When he was infected with Nurgle's Rot during their escape, Decius cut off the hand inside this gauntlet in a futile attempt to halt the disease. Presumed lost, this power fist still bore the curse of the Lord of Flies, when it was found by the Blood Ravens Chapter during the Second Aurelia Campaign.[1]
