Thorn is the Imperial Blade, an artifact of great power intended to be wielded by the Emperor during times of war. In practice, Thorn has generally been kept in storage and the last two times that it was actually needed, the Emperor gave it to one of his most loyal warriors rather than use it personally.
Physically, the blade is a long, curving fang where the thick end has had hand-holds carved into it. It was enchanted by a mage of great potency and can produce an ongoing Spark effect as though the spell were cast by a Magic +15 mage.
