His squad was later chosen by their [[Primarch]] [[Fulgrim]], to [[Isstvan III]] in order to suppress a revolt by the [[Planetary Governor]] [[Vardus Praal]] and were among the first wave to land upon the planet. The squad later aided [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Lucius (Emperor's Children)|Lucius]]{{Fn|1a}} in attacking Praal's bodyguard, which allowed Lucius to kill the corrupted Governor{{Fn|1b}}.

However, when {{PAGENAME}} and his Loyalist group located Tarvitz, they found the Captain engaged in a losing duel with Lucius. When Tarvitz saw {{PAGENAME}} and his group, he told them to fire upon Lucius, who had betrayed the Loyalists and had allowed the Traitors into the Palace, in order exchange for being allowed to rejoin his Legion. Once he heard this, {{PAGENAME}} and the Loyalist Emperor's Children fired upon Lucius, wounding and wounded him, but could not they were unable to stop the traitor from escaping.

When his surviving forces were completely evacuated, the Warmaster Horus gave the order to begin an orbital bombardment on Isstvan III, to ensure the Loyalists were killed. In the Precentor's Palace, {{PAGENAME}} was huddled with Tarvitz, and the hundred surviving Loyalists that still remained, when he asked the Captain if their efforts had hurt the Traitors. As the bombardment began to strike Isstvan III's surface, Tarvitz assured {{PAGENAME}} that they had, just before the Palace suffered a direct hit and was destroyed.{{Fn|1f}}
