During the tumultuous period of the [[Plague Wars]], Fabian became obsessed with gaining access to the [[Library of Ptolemy]].{{Fn|3a}} He began to have repeated encounters with [[Daemon]]s during the unrest around the [[Fortress of Hera]]{{Fn|3b}} before being drawn into the Library by the [[Great Unclean One]] [[Rotigus]]. Fabian spit defiance's at the Daemon, who informed the historian that all he sought could be answered in a specific book on a shelf. Fabian denied the temptation and struck at Rotigus, but was saved by Ultramarines [[Chief Librarian]] [[Tigurius]]. Despite his defiance Rotigus was confident that Fabian would read the book, which apparently held the history of [[Imperium Secundus]].{{Fn|3c}}
Around 4 years into the Crusade Fabian was reassigned from [[Fleet Primus]] by Gulliman for a new duty. While maintaining his historian activities as well as building the Logos Historia Veritas, his real mission was to travel first to [[Segmentum Solar]] to investigate the truth of the [[Angevin Crusade (Black Templars)|Angevin Crusade]]. After that, Fabian was ordered to make for the [[Nachmund Gauntlet]] and rendezvous with [[Marneus Calgar]] on [[Vigilus]] in order to ascertain the political situation in [[Imperium Nihilus]]. His overall goal was to determine which political opposition Guilliman may face in the region. For protection, he was given [[Unnumbered Sons]] [[Sergeant]] [[Racej Lucerene]]. Secretly, Guilliman feared that Fabian was being manipulated either by the [[Emperor]] himself but more likely the Forces of [[Chaos]]. Guilliman learned that nearly all the records first discovering the [[Pariah Nexus]] had originally come from Fabian's desk while he was away on the Crusade, a near improbable coincidence. Should Fabian be a pawn to Chaos' plans, Lucerne was ordered to eliminate him.{{Fn|4}}
