The planning of the Iron Warriors' attack fell to [[First Captain]] [[Forrix]], while Berossus had the dubious honour of acting as Perturabo's adjutant - dubious because the Lord of Iron was not above taking out his anger on the messenger who brought him bad news.{{Fn|2c}} Sure that [[First Captain]] [[Sigismund]] was the commander of the Imperial Fists fleet, Perturabo insisted that he be captured alive, and brought to the [[primarch]].{{Fn|2c}} However, Berossus had to confess that, based on the [[vox]] intercepts from the fleet, Sigismund was absent and the enemy commander was [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Alexis Polux]], whom the Iron Warriors dismissed as of no account. Perturabo took the news badly, smashing Berossus's armour with his fists and leaving the Captain to slowly bleed to death on the deck of his flagship.{{Fn|2d}}
Berossus was later entombed in a [[Dreadnought]] chassis. The fact that he had been crippled by a blow from his own gene-father, rather than in battle, caused a corrosive bitterness that slowly drove him mad.{{Fn|3}} He later appeared during the muster of traitor forces on [[Ullanor]] in preparation for the [[Siege of Terra]].{{Fn|4}}
