=== Final Death ===
{{spoiler|source=Hereticus (Novel)}}
Some years after this, Pontius managed to kill Magos Bure and escape from Cinchare , and found his way to a world where a Daemon King, [[Yssarile]], was said to have been buried with his "barque" - some kind of [[daemon weapon]] that Pontius was trying to obtain. Pontius orchestrated a ruthless campaign that killed or incapacitated most of Eisenhorn's retinue and led to Eisenhorn being declared ''[[Excommunicate Diabolus]]'' by the [[Inquisition]].{{Fn|3}} Pontius's other objective was the [[Malus Codicium]], Inquisitor Quixos's prized tome of chaotic knowledge, which would unlock Yssarile's vault.{{Fn|2}}
Meeting the heretic in single combat, Eisenhorn was no match for Pontius's mechanical body, and on the verge of being killed, until he produced the Codicium and began to tear its pages out. Pontius was distracted long enough for Eisenhorn to plunge his [[force sword]], [[Barbarisater]], through the machine's head, shattering the crystal containing Pontius' essence and killing him once and for all.{{Fn|3}}
