Four years after the events on [[Prospero]], much of Shiban's body was replaced by mechanical parts due to the vicious war of attrition, including his forearms, calves, thighs, and neck, which he dubbed the "Shackles." His men referred to him as "Tachseer" ("Restorer"), and he took many who were loyal from the rebellious brotherhoods under his own command. Shiban was changed over these years, becoming bitter, violent, and losing his signature laughter.{{Fn|2}} His reunion with [[Torghun Khan]] during the Scars rendezvous at [[Dark Glass]] went poorly when he condemned his former brother as a traitor and attempted to use him as cannon fodder against traitor forces. During the subsequent [[Battle of Catallus]], Torghun was defeated by the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Palatine Blades]] prefector [[Ravasch Cario]] but as the traitor was about to deliver the killing blow, he was overcome by his own [[Daemonic]] corruption. The moment gave Shiban the opening he needed to slay the Prefector.{{Fn|2a}}
Later, Shiban took part in the [[Siege of Terra]] and was charged with the defenses of the [[Eternity Wall Spaceport]] alongside [[Imperial Fists]] Captain [[Camba-Diaz]], [[General|High Primary Solar General]] [[Saul Niborran]], and [[Sisters of Silence]] Commander [[Jenetta Jenetia Krole]].{{Fn|3}} During the battle, Shiban grew close to [[Imperial Army]] Captain [[Al-Nid Nazira]]. In the final stages of the battle, the Spaceport was overrun by the [[World Eaters]] and Shiban became determined to help evacuate some of his Imperial Army comrades. However as the shuttle took off, they were assailed by World Eaters. Though he had taken a vow to never take a step back and die in defense of the Port, Nazira risking his life to save him and the thought of using the shuttle's grav systems to kill many of the traitors spurred Shiban to turn around and make for the craft. Barely fighting off World Eaters to leap onto the flying shuttle, Shiban discovered that Nazira and the pilot were already slain by [[Bolter]] fire as the aircraft crashed into the Eternity Wall.{{Fn|3a}}
