During the [[Bloodborn|Bloodborn's]] [[Invasion of Ultramar]] in 854999.[[M41]]{{Fn|1c}}, Telion led a force of sixty scouts from the 10th Company to [[Quintarn]], where the [[5th Company (Ultramarines)|5th]] and [[6th Company (Ultramarines)|6th Companies]] under Captains [[Galenus]] and [[Epathus]]{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5a}} were battling against the forces of the [[Dark Mechanicus]] Adept [[Votheer Tark]]. Although Galenus demanded that Telion and his Scouts attach themselves to the main order of battle, Telion refused these demands, and [[Chaplain]] [[Ortan Cassius|Cassius]] eventually convinced Galenus to let the Scouts go.{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5b}}
Telion faded into the desert with his men, invisibly watching over the Marines and striking without warning at the [[Chaos]] forces.{{Fn|4}} Telion shrewdly perceived that Tark's single advantage as a warlord was his ability to manufacture war machines at an alarming rate, and replace his battlefield losses with impunity. Therefore, Telion led his Scouts on a series of missions to infiltrate and destroy Tark's Dark Mechanicus forges, including the largest and most important located atop the [[Quintarn#Notable_Locations|Maidens of Nestor]]. Without his manufacturing capability, Tark's forces were swiftly routed and destroyed by the superior tactics and training of the Ultramarines.{{Fn|5c}}{{Fn|5d}}
