The mission was a success, and Sachiel soon attached himself to the rising star of [[Arkio]], who went from being a humble [[Battle Brother]] to a daring and inspiring leader, whom many believed to be the reincarnation of the Blood Angels' [[primarch]], [[Sanguinius]]. He enthusiastically supported Arkio's decisions to form a new conscript army from the liberated [[human]] population of [[Shenlong]], and even encouraged Arkio's notion of supplanting Lord Commander [[Dante]], as [[Chapter Master]] of the Blood Angels.{{Fn|1}}
During the preparation of the army, Sachiel burst in on [[Inquisitor]] [[Ramius Stele]], Arkio's other close advisor, and was horrified to see the Inquisitor consorting with the forces of [[Chaos]].{{Fn|3b}} However, Stele [[psychic]]ally blocked these memories, which did not surface again until the confrontation on [[Sabien]], between Arkio's nascent cult and the loyalist force commanded by [[Chief Librarian]] [[Mephiston]]. When Arkio was wounded in hand-to-hand combat with his brother [[Rafen]], the sight of the "Blessed One" being wounded shook the faith of all his followers, but Sachiel, as a Sanguinary Priest, was able to sense the [[chaotic]] corruption of Arkio's blood once it was exposed to air, which removed Stele's blocks on Sachiel's memory.{{Fn|3c}} Realizing that he had been duped and manipulated by Stele, Sachiel saw and had assisted in a rebellion against the error of Blood Angels to satisfy his own conceit, Sachiel collapsed with shame, shortly before Stele drove a psychic spike into Sachielthe Priest's head, killing him.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3c}}
