Tormageddon was summoned into the [[Materium]] by [[Erebus]], [[First Chaplain]] of the [[Word Bearers]] Legion, during the [[Battle of Calth]]. Erebus used a fragment of the remains of [[Tarik Torgaddon]], a [[loyalist]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[Luna Wolves]] killed on [[Isstvan III]] at the start of the Heresy.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|2b}} A strange by-product of this ritual summoning was that some fragment of Torgaddon's spirit remained sentient and free, and was able to communicate with his old friend [[Garviel Loken]] on [[Luna]].{{Fn|3}} According to Tormageddon himself, he was birthed from the betrayal and horror the [[Isstvan Atrocity]] and combined with Tarik's Spirit in the Warp.{{Fn|5}} Tormageddon was again summoned to the [[Materium]] before the [[Battle of Molech]] by [[Maloghurst]] and [[Serghar Targost]], possessing the body of the brain-dead Sons of Horus legionnaire [[Ger Gerradon]].{{Fn|4}}
Later, Tormageddon battled to protect Horus from the [[Knights-Errant]] team led by Loken in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Molech]]. Tormageddon had his throat ripped out during the battle but later possessed the body of [[Grael Noctua]].{{Fn|4}} Tormageddon, still in Noctua's mutated form, largely sided with [[Maloghurst]] in the power struggles that tore apart the Sons of Horus after Horus' fall on [[Beta-Garmon]]. He and the Luperci aided Maloghurst as he attempted a ritual to restore the Warmaster, holding off [[Falkus Kibre]] and the [[Justaerin]].{{Fn|5}} Later during the [[Siege of Terra]] Tormageddon was present at a Mournival conference, now in his third body but still possessing traces of Grael Noctua. He was one of the few in the ''Vengeful Spirit's'' bridge to not be affected by the Daemonically corrupted [[Mortarion]]'s stench.{{Fn|8}}
Ten thousand years after the Heresy, a [[Chaos]] warship known as the ''[[Tormageddon Monstrum Rex]]'' was active in the [[Sabbat Worlds]] of the [[Segmentum Pacificus]], but the nature of its connection to the daemon, if any, is unknown.{{Fn|6}}{{Fn|7}}
