When the 63rd Expedition responded to the distress call of [[Khitas Frome]] of the [[Blood Angels]] Torgaddon's company was chosen to descend to the surface of [[Murder]] and search for survivors. Once there he struck up a friendship with [[Emperor's Children]] Captain [[Saul Tarvitz]] but developed a dislike for the arrogant [[Lord Commander]] [[Eidolon]]. After contact was made with the [[Interex]], Torgaddon continued to act as 2nd Company Captain and advisor to Horus.
When Horus was mortally wounded on the moon of [[Davin]] and people were crying out against the grief-driven killing of humans by Astartes, it was proposed by the Warrior Lodges to rid the fleet of these dissenting voices. Tarik refused to take part in this and quit the lodges over it. When it became apparent that the Legion's apothecaries could not save the dying Horus, Mournival and lodge members [[Ezekyle Abaddon]] and [[Horus Aximand]] proposed entrusting Horus to the Davinite priests, and move which both Torgaddon and Loken opposed, and for good reason, as it was the Chaos-worshipping Davinites who allowed [[Erebus]] to enter Horus's mind and sway him to [[Chaos]]. With Chaos's evil influence spreading throughout the 63rd expedition Torgaddon and Loken vowed to oppose it. When he and Loken discovered the Kinebrach blade used to injure Horus, they realized Erebus's treachery. When Tarik encountered Erebus, he held a knife to his throat.
During the [[Isstvan III]] incident, Torgaddon was one of the loyalists whom Horus deemed too loyal to the [[Emperor]] to rebel against him and hoped to purge through a fiendish [[virus bomb|virus bombardment]]. However, once the loyalists received word of the treachery from Saul Tarvitz of the Emperor's Children, Torgaddon was among those captains who led the resistance against the [[Traitor Legions]] during the Isstvan III ground war. <sup>3</sup>
