Some years later, Azkaellon was dispatched with [[Task Force Ignis]] to locate a scientific colony on [[Nartaba Octus]], following rumours that there was a scientific facility that could help with dealing with the Red Thirst.{{Fn|2b}} However, the Blood Angels discovered that the planet was overrun with [[Dark Eldar]], who had destroyed the facility. Azkaellon would take little part in the battle of Nartaba Octus following this discovery,{{Fn|2c}} but did come to see [[Apothecary]] [[Meros]] when he learned that the battle-brother had been injured by a Dark Eldar soulseeker. Azkaellon had assumed that Meros would perish, but was impressed to discover that the Apothecary survived. He then relayed to Meros, Sergeant [[Cassiel]], and [[Sarga]] that the entire IX [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] was to rendezvous and converge on the [[Signus Cluster]], as per the orders of [[Warmaster]] Horus.{{Fn|3}} Before Task Force Ignis departed, however, a ship of the [[Space Wolves]] Legion carrying [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Helik Redknife]] and his squad arrived, carrying orders from [[Malcador (Character)|Malcador the Sigillite]] that the Wolves to observe. Azkaellon rebuked Redknife both for his reckless flying and the presence of [[Rune Priest]] [[Jonor Stiel]], saying that the [[Edict of Nikaea]] had forbidden [[Librarian]]s from using their powers. Redknife told Azkaellon that Stiel's power came from [[Fenris]], not the [[Warp]], and that was all the explanation they needed.{{Fn|2c}}
Azkaellon was present for the subsequent translation to the Signus Cluster. He listened to strange background noise in [[vox]] transmissions, and dismissed it as merely a communications countermeasure.{{Fn|2d}} Upon reaching the bridge with his Primarch, he bore witness to the destruction of [[Phorus]]{{Fn|2e}} and subsequent meeting of the [[Council of Angels]].{{Fn|2f}}
