Zephon went on to take part in the defense of the [[Eternity Gate]], reuniting with Arkhan Land and comforting him on their impending doom. When Land displayed a high degree of cowardice, Zephon briefly reverted back to his more ruthless persona by ordering Land to protect his Thralls in the coming battle. If Land fled, Zephon would find him and beat him to death regardless of the outcome. During the subsequent battle for the Eternity Gate, Land fulfilled his duties and Zephon protected both him and his last surviving Thrall, escorting them back inside the [[Sanctum Imperialis]] as the traitors closed in.{{Fn|5c}}
After the fall of [[Bhab Bastion]], Zephon rallied with remaining loyalist officers such as [[Fafnir Rann]], [[Namahi]], [[Azkaellon]], [[Maximus Thane]], [[Satel Aimery]] in the final defense of the Inner Palace under the command of [[Archamus II|Archamus]]. During the battle, Zephon succumbed to his rage and tore apart the bodies of Traitors.{{Fn|7}}
Zephon ultimately survived the Heresy, and went on to become the first [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Charnel Guard]].{{Fn|5e}} In his elder days as the Heresy went from fact to myth, he would listen to the tales of the final struggle on Terra and only interject if they noted Sanguinius had fought alone.{{Fn|5d}}
