The Sword of Salvation along with its sister sword, Sword of Sin was used by the Order of Purity's Azraels since Geoffrey de Cantonna first donned the Suit of Sorrows after the Crusades. The Sword of Salvation, and the Suit of Sorrows were taken from the Order of Purity by Ra's al Ghul, a long time rival of the Sacred Order of St. Dumas. Ra's Daughter Talia used the Sword of Salvation against new Azrael, Michael Lane.
