Puriel was an Interrogator-Chaplain of the Dark Angels Chapter.[1a]

Puriel was attached to the Fifth Company as part of a Dark Angels strike force sent to defend the planet Honoria from the Orks of Waaagh! Groblonik.[1a] When the Warboss Groblonik launched an assault on the capital city of Aurelianum, the Dark Angels defending the city seized the opportunity to try and weaken the Waaagh! by killing its leader. Company Master Zadakiel fought a duel against Groblonik but was badly wounded, only surviving thanks to Puriel's intervention.[1b]

As Zadakiel started to enter a sus-an coma, Apothecary Rephial urged the Chaplain to retreat.[1b] However, Puriel allowed the Warboss to goad him into another fight. Puriel was mutilated and killed by Groblonik, who took Puriel's head as a trophy and had his power fist grafted onto its arm as a new weapon.[1c]

Trivia
