==Horus Heresy==
Askarid was on the planet [[Hattusa]] with Voss and the [[817th Expedition Fleet]], when [[Horus]] began his [[The Horus Heresy|rebellion]] against the Emperor. As the Fleet tried to comprehend what had happened, the [[Edict of Dissolution]] was passed by the Council of Terra soon afterwards; and the Remembrancers were disbanded and no longer allowed to record the events of the Crusade. Voss was unable to grasp Horus' betrayal and insisted that he needed to see Isstvan V himself; to put to words the scope of the [[Warmaster]]'s rebellion, so that no one would be able to doubt the truth. Askarid tried for days to discourage Voss from going, knowing that if Horus did betray the [[Imperium]] , his life would be placed in danger by going. But when it was obvious Voss could not be persuadedfrom going, she reluctantly decided to go with him, though she feared the worst.{{Fn|1}}
Despite being stripped of their titleshis title as a Remembrancer, Voss soon used his influence and connections to have a ship travel Isstvan V. Before Askarid and Voss left, he persuaded a group of former Remembrancers to join them, so that the truth would be shouted from the works of as many witnesses as possible. When they reached Isstvan V, the [[Drop Site Massacre|battle ]] was long over and their ship was surrounded by the debris of destroyed shipswarships. They As their ship made its way towards the planet they were soon boarded stopped by the a [[Sons of Horus]], as their ship made its way towards the planet, warship and soon boarded by the [[Space Marines]] , who demanded the group leave with them. When one of the former Rememrancers from their group asked why, her arms were torn from their sockets and she was left on the ground to bleed to death. Seeing that they had no choice, they the group boarded the Sons of Horus' ship warship and found themselves grouped with other captured Remembrancers; who had been turned over by the Legions, who had sided with Horus.{{Fn|1}}
A short time later they were all brought before the [[Warmaster]] himself, aboard his flagship the [[Vengeful Spirit]]. Askarid held Voss' hand, as Horus gazed over the former Remembrancersfrightened group, before pointing at Voss and uttering, "All but that one." With those words the Sons of Horus opened fire on the groupthem, killing all but Voss ; who was left on his hands and knees surrounded by blood and mutilated bodies.{{Fn|1}}
