Loken fought to the last as a loyal servant of the [[Emperor]] and refused to give any quarter to those who had betrayed the Emperor in favour of Horus. After witnessing the death of [[Tarik Torgaddon]] at the hands of [[Horus Aximand]] he was wounded on Isstvan III by his old comrade [[Abaddon|Ezekyle Abaddon]], and is believed to have perished in the final orbital bombardment of the planet, along with the last surviving loyalists<sup>3</sup>. Loken and Torgaddon's deaths marked the removal of one of the final obstacles to Horus' great ambitions.

The one astartes had fallen to madness, believing himself rejected by death yet unable to remember his name or his circumstances. He takes upon himself the name '''Cerberus''' and believes himself to be the only remaining loyalist ''(a Legion of One)'' until he is confronted by Garro and his men.*<sup>4</sup> Initially hostile to the group who he perceives as the traitors, Nathaniel Garro engages the warrior in single combat but is unable to overcome him physically. Thus Garro appeals to the possibility warrior's faith and duty and reminds him of his survivalname: '''Garviel Loken'''. To date*<sup>4</sup> In a moment of lucidity, there Loken remembers himself agrees to go with them. It is no further canon information on revealed that Loken is the final recruit for Garro's mission for the issueSigillite and they return together to [[Terra]] to learn their fates.*<sup>4</sup>
