In the novel, Angels of Darkness by Gav Thrope, a different version of Luther's Betrayal is revealed. In the book, Astelan, an original member of the Dark Angels who was transported several millennia into the present when the Warp Storm tore apart Caliban, tells this unorthodox version of the events during the Betrayal. Astelan claims that it was the Lion who betrayed the Dark Angels, not Luther. His claim is considered heresy by Interrigator-Chaplain Boreas, and Commander Azrael had Astelan placed in a cell near Luther.*<sup>2</sup>
However in the novel Fallen Angels, Luther is the one who secedes from the Imperium, claiming the Lion had betrayed them by leaving them on Caliban for centuries, while the Great Crusade continued. His superstitions where furthered when he learnt of a cult of Terrans where in the process of a daemonic ritual (which was narrowly stopped by [[Zahariel]], a librarian who Luther had grown fond of).He took to reading the books of an order who studied the Warp. He put what he learnt to practice- an example being when the Librarian Israfael attacked him with a bolt of lightning, it simply dissipated.*<sup>3</sup>
