Added events from Vengeful Spirit.
Targost commissioned the mold for the lodge medallions from a [[remembrancer]] silversmith assigned to the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'', whom he killed shortly afterward to preserve the secrecy of the lodges.{{Fn|4}}
Targost believed passionately in the role of the warrior-lodge, stating that as genetic constructs employed singularly for war, the [[Astartes]] needed a way to form and express their bonds of brotherhood in a way that wasn't constrained by the pressures of duty.{{Fn|1a}} Targost operated as the voice of the lodge, regulating and organising the meetings.{{Fn|1a}} In his role of lodge-master, he was instrumental in the decision to place the wounded [[Horus]] into the care of the [[Serpent Lodge]], thus ensuring Horus' s damnation.{{Fn|2}}
As a senior officer of the [[Sons of Horus]] and one who saw things from the [[Warmaster]]'s point of view, Targost co-commanded the initial Sons of Horus deployments against the loyalist marines upon [[Isstvan III]].{{Fn|3}}
Targost died when [[Rama Karayan]] shot him through the head before he could invest [[Proximo Tarchon]] with a [[daemon]] in the bowels of the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''. Moments after Targost's death, [[Samus]] possessed his body.{{Fn|6a}} He managed to kill [[Tubal Cayne]] before Tarchon destroyed Targost/Samus with his gladius.{{Fn|6b}}
Targost was blunt in appearance, with a scarred forehead.{{Fn|1b}}
