→Biography
In the subsequent daemonic invasion, Gage was injured by a daemon, losing his hand in the process. He was saved by [[Aeonid Thiel]], a sergeant marked for censure.{{Fn|1b}} Barely had Gage and the replacement crew of taken control of the ''Macragge's Honour''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s auxiliary bridge then they received vox contact with [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Remus Ventanus]] of the 4th Company.{{Fn|1g}} Barely had contact been made when there was a vox interrupt. At this point, Gage ordered kill teams to deploy and counter Word Bearer boarding actions.{{Fn|1h}} Thiel's team returned with Roboute Guilliman,{{Fn|1i}} who then spoke with Ventanus and learned about the enemy orbital that was controlling the defence grid.{{Fn|1j}} Gage's alternate plan for eliminating the enemy data-engine was to [[teleport]] a kill team to the enemy orbital and destroy it. Gage refused to let Guilliman to lead the kill team, but relented after a venomous glare from the Primarch.{{Fn|1k}} Once the Word Bearers' control over the Calth orbital defences was broken, Gage took the ''Macragee's Honour'' toward the orbital, but was ordered by Guilliman to take the flagship in pursuit of the ''[[Infidus Imperator]]'', the flagship of [[Kor Phaeron]]{{Fn|1l}}. By the time the rest of the Ultramarines fleet withdrew from the Veridian system, they had received no word from Gage or the ''Macragge's Honour''.{{fn|1m}}
After a grueling battle inside the [[Empyrean]], the Ultramarines' flagship succeeded in destroying the ''Infidus Imperator'', though Kor Phaeron and a small retinue managed to escape to [[Sicarus]]. Gage addressed the survivors of the ''Macragge's Honour''{{'}}s crew, ordering them to repair the damage to the ship and promising that, though it might take years or even lifetimes, they would find a way back to [[realspace]] and return to [[Ultramar]].{{Fn|4}}
