With the Blood Angels having won the battle on Baal, Rafen was then assigned a mission by Lord [[Dante]] to recover a phial of the blood of Sanguinius, which was stolen by Bile during an enclave between the Blood Angels and its derivative chapters. Rafen's second mission was to punish Fabius Bile with death for his transgressions against the chapter.
Having followed Fabius Bile futilely for some time on board the cruiser ''Tycho'', Rafen receives assistance from his blood-cousin '''[[Noxx''' ]] of the [[Flesh Tearers]]. Together, the two sergeants combine their squads to hunt down Bile, launching a strike against a powerful Magos of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] named Matthun Zellik. Zellik had been having deals with Bile, who had usurped the identity of another tech-priest named Haran Serpens, the same alias used by Bile to infiltrate the Blood Angel's on planet Baal.
The battle against Zellik took place on board the Archeohort, an ancient and unusual excavation ship manned by [[servitors]] and members of the [[skitarii]]. By taking advantage of a turncoat within Zellik's ranks however, Rafen, Noxx and their men found their way to Zellik's trophy room, where they smashed and destroyed the relics recovered by the [[Magos]] and forcing his surrender, lest his work be undone. During the battle, Rafen had lost his [[bolter]] to a trap laid by Zellik. However, among the relics and goods in Zellik's collect was a [[plasma gun]] bearing the name and chapter markings of ''Aryon'', a long dead hero of the Blood Angels, which Rafen took to his new side arm.
