The Brazier of Balthakk was housed in the Temple of Balthakk which had been buried under the ice in Canada's Nunavut Territory near the arctic circle for centuries. The Temple was recently discovered by a Canadian geological survey team investigating seismic activity. Exploration of the site was being done by a team from the Gideon Museum of Antiquities, owned by Abner Little. Stark Solutions was hired to assist the team in gaining access to the temple without damaging the site. Stark's pilot, Samantha McGee was the first to gain access to the temple, where she was exposed to the Brazier. Her body absorbed the brazier and she became the exemplar of Balthak, Inferno.
