→History: Fixed typo
Following the wounding of Horus at the [[Battle of Trisolian]] and the Warmaster's coma-like state following [[Beta-Garmon]], Horus Aximand wrestled for power within the Legion from [[Maloghurst]] as First Captain [[Abaddon]] was elsewhere [[Battle of Yarant|fighting the Wolves]]. Aximand showed himself to be stubborn, distrustful, and aggressive, refusing to allow Maloghurst and the [[Word Bearers]] to attempt to heal Horus. When Maloghurst tried anyway, Aximand had him imprisoned and instead waged a futile battle at [[Heta-Gladius]]. Thanks to Maloghursts efforts, Horus was restored and an overjoyed Aximand, crying tears of blood, kneeled before him.{{Fn|8}} Aximand subsequently oversaw the capture of [[Pluto]] as Horus' armada stormed the [[Sol System]] in the [[Solar War]]. During the fighting, he boarded [[Sigismund]]'s command ship ''[[Three Sisters of Spite|Lachrymae]]'' and engaged in a duel with the [[Imperial Fists]] [[First Captain]]. During the fighting, Aximand slew [[Boreas (Imperial Fists)|Boreas]] and wounded Sigismund, but lost his hand to the First Captain as he teleported away.{{Fn|9}} During the [[Siege of Terra]] Aximand reappeared during a Mournival conference, criticizing Abaddon for his percieved dissatisfaction with Horus. When [[Mortarion]] arrived aboard the ''Vengeful Spirit'', Horus Aximand fell into convulsions from the Daemon Primarch's stench.{{Fn|10}}
Following the fall of the [[Lion's Gate Spaceport]] in the Siege, Aximand deployed on to the surface on of Terra along with the rest of the Mournival. He had begun to once again experience the hallucinations and nightmares of Loken.{{Fn|11a}} He took part in Abaddon's subterranean assault underneath the [[Saturnine Gate]] in hopes of quickly winning the war. However the weakness under the gate was a trap set by [[Dorn]], and upon burrowing under Saturnine in assault drills the Sons of Horus were ambushed by Kill-Teams led by [[Garviel Loken]] and [[Nathaniel Garro]]. During the fight, Aximand's squad was massacred and he fled into the interior of the Saturnine Quarter, coming across [[Arkhan Land]] as he was at work filling the breach in the walls. He demanded Land show him a way into the interior of the Palace so he could do as much damage as possible before he was inevitably slain. However Land was saved by Loken, who once again confronted his former brother. Aximand thought Loken was a hallucination until he was physically attacked. Panicking, Aximand was eviscerated upon Loken's [[Chainsword]]. As he died, the incessant slow breathing that he had heard in his mind since Isstvan finally ceased.{{Fn|11b}}
