Been wondering about this for a while now:

in the book "The First Heretic" there was a small, unimportant episode, which can be used as a possible method to return the Chapter Master of the Vakrah Jal.

Here is what I mean:

+After the rebuke at Monarchia/Khur, the World Bearers return to Colchis.

+When Argel Tal and his company are escorting Cyrene to the Council of Colchis they stop to give Oath Papers to the people

+One woman with a baby on her arm in the crowd asks for his name, which he tells her

+After that she names her child as Argel Tal.

(page 150 of the book)

And yes I know that the author himself said that Argel Tal was dead permanently.

For now at least.........

However  if you think about it:

+there is currently another Argel Tal, who is alive on Colchis

+there was already a big timeskip after the above mentioned event (40+years)

+which could mean that the child has grown up and could even become a Word Bearer legionary himself

+even if this Argel Tal won't become the sameone who was killed, there is the possibility that he will be the one who was in Lorgar's vision during the Pilgrimage  (who becomes a daemon prince/mega-possessed during the Siege of Terra and fights Sanguinius at Eternity Gate)

+one last thing: names are a powerful thing in this universe. Just thing about the true names of the daemons as an example.
