Watch Master
Watch Masters are the senior officers of the Deathwatch.
Overview
The foremost xenos hunters in the galaxy, they have tested their mettle against hundreds of species of aliens over centuries of conflict. So respected is their knowledge on all things alien that they are known to brief the High Lords of Terra on xenos. Though most members of the Deathwatch eventually return to their original Chapter, Watch Masters are so vital that they are usually never allowed to leave their post. All too often, they shoulder their duties alone, seeking solace of pure throughout in long periods of introspection and solitude.[1]
On the field of battle, Watch Masters wield xenos artifacts and a Vigil Spear, famed weapon of the Adeptus Custodes. Additional wargear includes a Clavis and Artificer Armour.[1]
