added canon conflict
Just prior to the [[Horus Heresy]], Valdor was charged by the [[Emperor]] to accompany [[Leman Russ]] of the [[Space Wolves]] in bringing [[Magnus the Red]] to account for breaking promises made during the [[Council of Nikaea]] at which the Emperor strictly forbade the use of sorcery and psychic powers.<sup>2</sup>
Valdor, with a contingent of elite Custodian Guard, fought alongside Russ and the Space Wolves on [[Prospero]]. He and his forces were responsible for killing at least three of the greatest psykers of the [[Thousand Sons]] and routing a force much more numerous than their own, however little else is known after this. He According to one account, he was also responsible for saving [[Bjorn]] when his arm was corrupted by the sorcerous powers of a Thousand Sons psyker. Valdor sliced Bjorn's arm off to prevent the corruption from overrunning his body.<sup>2</sup> The other states that Bjorn's arm was cut off by a Skjald of the Space Wolves, Kasper Hawser.<sup>4</sup>
When [[Amon Tauromachian]] returned from his extended [[Blood Game]], Valdor informed his fellow Custodian of how [[Horus|Horus Lupercal]] had declared rebellion against the Emperor. When Tauromachian asked how this could happen, Valdor, speaking as someone who knew the [[Warmaster]], rejected theories that it was pride or resentment, instead voicing his belief that [[Chaos|something]] had driven Horus and his closest advisers mad. Valdor then assigned Tauromachian with the task of investigating [[Pherom Sichar]], Lord of [[Hy Brasil]], for evidence of treason.<sup>3</sup>
