Alaric had been promoted to the rank of Justicar for two years before he was given control of any notable action. His first major command occurred when [[Inquisitor]] [[Ligeia]] requested assistance from the [[Grey Knights]]. She had discovered that The Prince of a Thousand Faces, also known as [[Ghargatuloth]], was attempting to remanifest after a thousand year banishment. The daemon had first been banished by a force of Grey Knights led by [[Grey Knights Grand Master|Grand Master]] [[Mandulis]] on the [[Chaos]] held world of [[Khorion IX]]. This discovery was made after a strike force led by fellow Inquisitor [[Nyxos]] had apprehended a rogue Inquisitor named [[Gholic Ren-Sar Valinov]]. Valinov had in his possession a librum called [[Codicium Aeternum]]. This librum stated that the [[Emperor's Tarot]] predicted that the daemon would resurface somewhere on the [[Trail of Saint Evisser]]. Justicar Alaric had taken part in the raid that captured Ren-Sar Valinov, but was severly wounded; this allowed him to be present during this request, making him the obvious leader to assist Inquisitor Ligeia. Most of the chapter had already been committed to the struggle at the [[Eye of Terror]] and the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] forcing Grand Master [[Tencendur]] to only commit a small strike force to assist Inquisitor Ligea.{{Cite this}}
Alaric commanded a strike force consisting of a [[Terminator]] squad led by Justicar [[Tancred (Grey Knights)|Tancred]] and two Tactical squads led by justicars [[Genhain]] and [[Santoro]]. The [[Grey Knights]] chapter assigned him the [[Rubicon]] strike cruiser to traverse the [[Imperium]].{{Cite this}}
Upon reaching the trail, the Rubicon made directly for the planet [[Trepytos]].{{Cite this}}
