[@Kalas]I see where you're going with him, and it's looking good, two questions though;

1. If he's the sole carrier of this progenoid gland, why are they sending [b]him[/b] - of all the Chapters marines, and with him being their sort-of champion - to serve in the Deathwatch?

2. Would they give him the relics of the Pyre Guard to take with him? I imagine they probably would, but then again they might be better keeping such venerable items in the protection of the Chapter?

Just curious is all. :)

Well, despite him being a Champion of sorts, the Sallies still have the Forgefather. In relative terms, Tsal would serve as his underling, much-like the Pyre Guards of old directly served Vulkan himself. However, the life the reborn Pyre Guard is a constant trial of proving one's worth. Having fought side-by-side with their Primarch, the original Guard were considered highly venerated members of the chapter. So to receive one of their Gene-Seeds is to be bestowed with great honour that the receiver must forever strive to live up to. Serving in the Deathwatch is supposed to be a deadly challenge for him to overcome in order to fulfill the honour he has been blessed with.

The use of the relics are also a testament to this challenge. The sheer magnitude of what the Pyre Guard were able to do with these, now obsolete, weapons can be considered insurmountable by any normal Space Marine. So the Reborn Guard has to perform similar feats of greatness using the same weapons to match the grandiosity of of the Original Guards.
