Before an attack on the [[Knight world]] of [[Molech]], Mortarion resurrected the daemonic essence of Ignatius Grulgor by killing all seven [[Deathshroud]] bodyguards in a single stroke of his battle scythe [[Silence (Death Guard)|Silence]] inside the gene-vault aboard his flagship "[[Endurance]]". Grulgor was brought back infused with the power of the [[Life Eater Virus]] that had destroyed him, commanding the deadly plague at will. After that Ignatius Grulgor played a significant role in destroying the native fauna on the [[Molech]] in order to achieve [[Warmaster]]'s victory.{{Fn|3}} After the battle, Grulgor was chained and held as a monster in the bowels of the ''[[Endurance]]''.{{Fn|4}} Later during the purging of [[Ynyx]] Grulgor asked Mortarion to unleash him upon the surface of the world, but the Death lord refused to have anything to do with the abomination.{{Fn|5}}
Following Typhon's betrayal which stranded the Death Guard fleet inside the Warp, Mortarion went to Grulgor and asked the Daemon to pledge that he would slay the First Captain if needed. Grulgor agreed, and when brought before Typhon strangled him to death. However due to the [[Destroyer Plague]], Typhon quickly came back to life and both Grulgor and the First Captain laughed. Grulgor had fulfilled his oath, but Typhon was beyond death. Grulgor revealed that any oath he had taken to Mortarion was vastly eclipsed by his service to [[Nurgle]]. Grulgor's form dissolved and merged with Typhon, transforming the First Captain into [[Typhus]], Herald of Nurgle and Host of the Destroyer Hive.{{Fn|5a}}
