When [[Garviel Loken]] was elevated to the [[Mournival]] following the death of [[Hastur Sejanus]] Torgaddon befriended him, his light-hearted, jokerish nature tempering Loken's strict adherence to the rules. Torgaddon helped Loken settle into his new role as a Mournival member and advisor to [[Horus]]{{Fn|1b}} and was the one to introduce Loken to the [[Warrior Lodges]], showing him that they were simply a way for Astartes of differing ranks and companies to come together as equals, which somewhat allayed Loken's suspicion of them.{{Fn|1d}}
When the 63rd Expedition responded to the distress call of [[Khitas Frome]] of the [[Blood Angels]]{{Fn|1c}} Torgaddon's company was chosen to descend to the surface of [[Murder]] and search for survivors. Once there he struck up a friendship with [[Emperor's Children]] Captain [[Saul Tarvitz]] but developed a dislike for the arrogant [[Lord Commander]] [[Eidolon]], a feeling that became mutual after Torgaddon pulled rank, berated him for letting his lust for glory cause needless death, and telling him that Horus himself believed that Eidolon was an idiot.{{Fn|1e}} After contact was made with the [[Interex]], Torgaddon continued to act as 2nd Company Captain and advisor to Horus.{{Cite thisFn|1f}}
When Horus was mortally wounded on the moon of [[Davin]] and people were crying out against the grief-driven killing of humans by Astartes, it was proposed by the Warrior Lodges to rid the fleet of these dissenting voices. Tarik refused to take part in this and quit the lodges over it. When it became apparent that the Legion's apothecaries could not save the dying Horus, Mournival and lodge members [[Ezekyle Abaddon]] and [[Horus Aximand]] proposed entrusting Horus to the Davinite priests, and move which both Torgaddon and Loken opposed, and for good reason, as it was the Chaos-worshipping Davinites who allowed [[Erebus]] to enter Horus's mind and sway him to [[Chaos]]. With Chaos's evil influence spreading throughout the 63rd expedition Torgaddon and Loken vowed to oppose it. When he and Loken discovered the Kinebrach blade used to injure Horus, they realized Erebus's treachery. When Tarik encountered Erebus, he held a knife to his throat.{{Cite this}}
