At the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Noriz was one of the Imperial Fists assigned to patrol the [[Sol System]] as part of the [[Primarch]] [[Rogal Dorn|Rogal Dorn's]] new security protocols. In the aftermath of the [[Dropsite Massacre]], the [[Raven Guard]] Primarch [[Corvus Corax]] travelled from the [[Isstvan System]] to [[Terra]] to seek an audience with the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]]. When he arrived in the Sol System, Noriz had the ''Wrathful Vanguard'' intercept their [[Battle Barge]], the ''[[Avenger]]''. After boarding the ship and confirming Corax's survival, Noriz and the Legionaries under his command escorted Corax to Terra.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
Later, Noriz travelled aboard the ''Wrathful Vanguard'' to the Raven Guard [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]] [[Deliverance]] in order to deliver the Legion's first shipment of [[Power Armour#Mark 6 "Corvus Armour"|Mark VI Power Armour]] - — known as '''Corvus Armour'''. When he arrived, he was convinced by the Raven Guard [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]] [[Branne]] to remain with the Raven Guard, rather than returning to garrison Terra.{{Fn|1c}}
