During the [[Solar War]], Archamus was charged with investigating [[Alpha Legion]] activity across the [[Sol System]]. Working with his trusted [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Kestros]] and the [[Luna]] Gene-Cult [[Psyker]] [[Andromeda-17]], Archamus was eventually able to deduce that the Alpha Legion intended to assault [[Pluto]]. During the [[Battle of Pluto|subsequent battle]], Archamus was impaled by [[Alpharius]] himself as Rogal Dorn arrived. As Dorn and Alpharius clashed, the spear thrust intended for the Imperial Fists Primarch was halted by a mortally wounded Archamus. Using this as an opening, Dorn was able to kill the traitorous Primarch. In a rare emotional moment, Dorn stated to his "son" that he had failed him. However as Archamus died, he said he was not Dorn's son but his praetorian.{{Fn|3b}}
In the aftermath of Archamus' death, his second-in-command [[Kestros]] became commander of the Huscarls as well as taking up the name as Archamus in memory of his commander.{{Fn|4}}
