During that the battle with the [[Orks]] of [[Warboss]] [[Zogax da Great]], the [[Supreme Grand Master]] Alloken was slain. The [[Fallen Angel]] [[Cypher]] had appeared and aided killed the ork, recovering Alloken's relics and returning them to the [[Dark Angels]]. Upon becoming the next [[Dark Angels Supreme Grand Master|Supreme Grand Master]], Morderan met with the [[Stasis]] bound traitor [[Luther]] and asked him about Cypher, who Morderan believed knew more about the Fallen, than Luther did. {{Fn|1a}} In response, the traitor Luther told Morderan to be wary in his pursuit of Cypher and related the story of how he found their [[Primarch]] [[Lion El'Jonson]]. In the story, Luther offered his hand in friendship to the beast-like Primarch despite his fellow [[The Order|Order]] Knights wanting to kill El'Jonson. Luther's way led to El'Jonson joining The Order and the future that led to the Dark Angels. Luther finished by stating that Morderan will know noting nothing of Cypher's intentions, if the Dark Angels killed him out of hand. The Grand Master, Morderan would take this to mean the Chapter should capture Cypher and make him an ally. If they did so, Morderan believed that Cypher would lead them to thousands of other Fallen Angels. The Grand Master He then quickly left Luther's cell, even as the traitor Luther implored that he could be wrongabout capturing Cypher. Luther's stasis reactiving and cutting off his warning mid-sentence.{{Fn|1a}} about capturing Cypher. Morderan would go on to order the capture of Cypher, but doing so led to disaster and nearly destroyed the Dark Angels.
