As Forgefather, He'stan has worked his way from system to system in search of the [[Artefacts of Vulkan|nine artefacts of Vulkan]], his only clues coming from the [[Tome of Fire]], which is extremely difficult to interpret, let alone put into use. Instead of calling solely on members of the fourth company, He'stan can call on any number of Salamanders to aid him in his quest. The Salamanders are more than happy to cleanse an area of a world on a rumour that a piece of their history is there.{{Fn|1}}
He'stan accompanied [[Herculon Praetor]] and the [[Firedrakes]] when they went in pursuit and rescue of [[Chaplain]] [[Elysius]], to retrieve [[Vulkan's Sigil]]. During this time they battled the [[Dark Eldar]] and had to infiltrate the [[webway]] and a Dark Eldar city, where it was revealed that the Forgefather knew the language of the enemy.{{Fn|2b}}
The [[Necron]] warlord [[Trazyn the Infinite]] has attempted to obtain the [[Artifacts of Vulkan]] for himself, but He'stan defeated Trazyn in personal combat in 878.[[M41]] and again in the [[Tochran Crusade]] in 943.[[M41]]{{Fn|3}}. In the wake of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, many believe He'stan's quest is now impossible to complete. The Forgefather, however, thinks this a test by [[Vulkan]] to fully temper his sons, before the [[Primarch]] rejoins the Salamanders{{Fn|6a}}. He is now journeying to the world [[Zero]], as He'stan believes it contains a clue to the location of the [[Unbound Flame]].{{Fn|6b}}
