Vangorich later aided Koorland in overthrowing the [[Lord Commander of the Imperium]] [[Udin Macht Udo]], approving of the Fists sole survivor taking the position himself.{{Fn|7}} He expressed anger to himself when Koorland and later [[Vulkan]] did not purge the High Lords.{{Fn|8}} Later when Koorland executed the now-deranged [[Mesring]], Vangorich smiled.{{Fn|9}}
In the aftermath of the death of Mesring, Vangorich regained his seat on the High Twelve. However following the death of [[Koorland]], the spot of [[Lord Commander of the Imperium]] also remained open. Vangorich now became a political creature, believing it was his duty to promote both a strong Lord Commander and puppet Ecclesiarch. To this end, Vangorich poisoned the popular [[Cardinal]] [[Abriel Creutzfeldt]] after he felt he had confided too much weakness to him. Vangorich next allied with the new Chapter Master of the [[Imperial Fists]], [[Maximus Thane]], in organizing a new offensive on [[Ullanor]]. Vangorich was able to secure support for the campaign from [[Lord Commander Militant]] [[Verreault]] and [[Lord High Admiral]] [[Lansung]] through intimidation by placing [[Callidus Assassin]]s into the ranks of their own bodyguards.{{Fn|10}}
As Thane campaigned on Ullanor, Vangorich decided that the High Lords were too incompetent and represented a danger to the survival of humanity.{{Fn|10}}
