Deep within the bowels of the Rock are cells in which the [[The Fallen|Fallen Angels]] are held. [[Luther]] is imprisoned there, kept alive over 10,000 years after his costly betrayal of the Dark Angels. Luther rants and raves, claiming that he has no need of repentance or confession, for the Lion - who he claims is near - will soon return and absolve him.{{Fn|2}} Unbeknownst to any, the sleeping body of [[Lion El'Jonson]] is hidden in the heart of the Rock, guarded by [[the Watchers]].{{Fn|2}}
Shortly after the formation of the [[Great Rift]], the Rock [[Siege of The Rock|was besieged]] by [[Daemons]] led by the [[Fallen]] [[Daemon Prince]] [[MarabasMarbas]]. The battle was a mere distraction and was quickly defeated, however the Fallen succeeded in setting [[Luther]] free.{{Fn|6}}
Unknown to the Dark Angels until [[Cypher]] informed them, for the last ten thousand years The Rock has had the ancient sentient device known as [[Tuchulcha]] hidden within it.{{Fn|4}}
