'''Kor Phaeron''' was [[Lorgar]]'s spiritual advisor on [[Colchis]] and the [[Primarch]] trusted his counsel most of all. Kor Phaeron followed the Primarch through all his battles against the '''Covenant''', providing him spiritual guidance as the battles seemed to have no end. As [[Lorgar]] took command of his Legion, Kor Phaeron became his second in command, leading the [[First Company]] of the [[Word Bearers]].<sup>1</sup>:
At the beginning of the [[Horus Heresy]], [[Lorgar]] had received a reprimand from the Emperor for the long delays in making worlds compliant, and [[Lorgar]] retreated into his quarters for a month. As the chapter orbited planet 47-16, awaiting orders from their Primarch, Kor Phaeron came at odds with [[Sor Talgron]], Captain of the 34th Company, over how the [[Word Bearers]] should handle worlds to be brought into compliance. Other than [[Erebus]], the First Chaplain of the [[Word Bearers]], Kor Phaeron is the only other to be permitted access to [[Lorgar]] during his month-long retreat. As Lorgar emerged from his seclusion, and commanded the elimination of the population on 47-16, it was '''Kor Phaeron's''' [[First Company]] that executed the remaining populace even after it became apparent that they were already worshipping the Emperor.<sup>2</sup>
Kor Phaeron became '''Master of the Faith''', and it was his influence that eventually corrupted the Word Bearers legion, and led to the legion giving itself over to the Powers of Chaos.<sup>1</sup>:
