Gotta catch them all.
A more serious reason would be that Dark Angel geneseed is the most stable one with a very low rate of mutations. And as Swordimatic has said they are predisposed to become good swordsfighters/have high WS.

We do have the Black Templar GS you know. They are sword nuts as well.

But they aren't the same kind of sword nut. I'd expect Black Templar-flavoured combat masters to have perks for offense, like bonuses when pushing an offensive, doubling degrees of success on attacks, and having shitton of rerolls for confirming a charge, and trusting their armor and physiology to handle the damage.

Well, until he wakes up, he's basically a vegtable, so minimal. At the moment.

And from what I can find, the Sus-an Membrane can only be deactivated via 'the appropriate chemical therapy or hypnotic auto-suggestion'.
So unless the guy has some after market add-ons regarding said organ, our new friend is going to be sleeping like a baby until we decide to wake him up.
Sword nothing... amputate all his limbs before beginning the interrogation. I do not think he would be much of a threat if he had to bite us black knight style.

That assumes said interrogators don't ram a blocker or something into his spine to make concious movement of anything below the neck possible. That or they just lop off his arms and legs.
I would assume if it can't be destroyed via 'conventional' means we just chuck it into the sun. That is a fairly common disposal method for extermely tainted materials.

He's in a coma at present.
Worse come to it, hand the chap over to the Deathwatch, let them deal with it.

We'd be handing him over to Deathwatch anyway.
There's no point in us trying to keep the guy.

Our Dark Mechanicus Allies: "Why didn't you help us?"
Us: "You know, we were busy winning the war."
Them: "...Fair enough."
That being said, we should probably go liberate the Pyros Alpha place.

We did help them. I'm not 100% sure of what won but we should have one company guarding them and another hitting Pyros Aleph.
The only other option was hitting Cynosure:

If there's another option tell me.
The only time I ever saw mentions of deposing of Chaos-tainted artifacts, ships etc was to chuck them into a sun to burn up.

I sincerely doubt one sword can do that.
Depends on how big a fish was in the sword.
As I understand it they are sealed away, not destroyed, for a reason.

Of course that's with people who didn't potentially know how to unravel the daemon. That is disperse the energies back into the Warp.
Considering the origin of the Crow's Library I bet there is a book or two on the subject and Medea's read it.

The reason why artifacts are sealed away and not destroyed is actually two reasons, as follows:
1) There might be the need to use it in the future (this is typically Radical thinking and gets you BLAMMED)
2) Destroying it might just make things worse
This is why you go through rigorous purification processes before dumping traitor wargear into a sun orbiting an uninhabited sytem. You really don't want chaos-infested stars.

How so, it releases the Daemon?

Huh, I thought they locked it up because that way the daemon couldn't just respawn and mess up more things.

Don't tell the inquisition but I think we are the radicals.
Pretty sure destroyed daemon weapons releases the daemon.

Releases the daemon, taints the entire local area, possesses the local everything (which ranges from serfs to scribes to servitors to guardsmen to the entire planet), corrupts the entire subsector, turns the world into a daemon world... the list goes on.
Generally speaking, if the Ordo Malleus can't destroy it - and it can destroy a bunch of stuff, the Grey Knights are hardcore like that - then it's probably built from a Greater Daemon or something, which is something that cannot easily be permakilled.
