===War of the Beast===
During the [[War of the Beast]], Vangorich was warned of the [[Ork]] threat early on by [[Inquisitorial Representative]] [[Wienand]]{{Fn|2a}}. Vangorich was known for his tense relationship with the [[Lord High Admiral]] [[Lansung]]. He , although in truth he held all the High Lords in contempt, save for amicable relationships with Wienand and [[Lord Commander Militant]] [[Heth]]{{Fn|2b}}. During the war, Vangorich dispatched the former Assassin [[Esad Wire]] on an unknown mission seemingly targeting the Inquisition.{{Fn|22c}} However this was just his warning to the Inquisition to stop spying on him, and Vangorich's next move was to shapeshift into a [[Priest]] and infiltrate the [[Ecclesiarchal Palace ]] where he poisoned [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Mesring]]. Vangorich told the Ecclesiarch that he only had 3 days to live, and if he wanted the antidote in that time he would immediately declare a [[War of Faith]] against [[The Beast]] to force Lansung to redeploy his forces against the Greenskins.{{Fn|3}}
Later, Vangorich began training Wire for a mission to assassinate Lansung{{Fn|3c}}, while also dispatching a task force under the [[Vanus Temple]] operative [[Clementina Yendl]] to infiltrate [[Mars]] and discover what the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] was hiding regarding the Orks.{{Fn|3a}} When Inquisitorial Representative Wienand finds herself under threat from rival [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Veritus]], Vangorich dispatched Wire to rescue her.{{Fn|4}}
