At some point before 805.[[M41]], Czevak had few contacts left among the [[Ordo Xenos]]. Nonetheless, he was contacted by [[Radical]] [[Inquisitor]] [[Maturin Ralei]], who asked for information about the history of the [[Eldar]]. Czevak's contacts in the Ordo spoke highly of Ralei's willingness to delve deeply into this kind of knowledge, and so Czevak replied. He gave Ralei a translation made by Czevak's [[xenolinguitor]] of the relevant stanzas from a sacred text of the [[Iyanden]] [[Craftworld]], but told Ralei not to contact him again. In 805.[[M41]] itself, while investigating Ralei after his death, Inquisitor [[Brehm Sasham]] found this correspondance, and wrote to his superiors "do not be shocked by the identity of its author: an inquisitor more renowned for his Radicalism even than Ralei. Czevak. Ha! To what other crackpot would the master of this Bestiary turn, seeking answers?"{{Fn|2}}
After [[Battle of Iyanden (Kraken)|the attack ]] on [[Craftworld]] [[Iyanden]] by [[Hive Fleet]] [[Kraken]] in 992.[[M41]], Czevak was deemed worthy enough by the Eldar to spend time as a guest on the [[Craftworld]], along with his [[Acolyte|retinue]], where he was even invited by [[Farseer]] [[Iqbraesil]] to attend the ''[[Dance without End]]'' performed by a visiting group of [[Harlequin]]s.{{Fn|1c}} Iqbraesil told Czevak the names and ways of the Harlequins.{{Fn|1a}}
By late [[M41]], High Inquisitor Czevak was a frail 400 year old man confined within a cryogenic suspension suit to keep his body from failing him.{{Fn|1a}}
