→Post-Mortem
Later during the Heresy as Horus fell deeper and deeper into Chaos and his mental state perhaps began to deteriorate, he took the skull of Ferrus Manus, mounted it on his throne, and began to increasingly speak to it. During their one-sided conversations, Horus lamented that he only had bloody-handed tyrants, mass murderers, and daemons for his generals instead of strategists and men of duty like Ferrus.{{Fn|9}}
During the final climatic climactic struggle of the [[War Within the Webway]], the Emperor summoned the souls of fallen heroes of the Imperium to serve as an army against the [[Daemon]]ic hordes. Ferrus was reanimated as a blazing spectre and briefly fought at the Emperor's side.{{Fn|13}}
Since the [[Horus Heresy]], [[Clan Kaargul]] maintains that Ferrus Manus will return one day when the Imperium needs him once more. To this end they maintain eternal warden over the Karaashi Heights of Medusa awaiting his return. The other Clans do not have the heart to impede the Kaargul in this, for as long as they maintain their vigil hope remains.{{Fn|16}}
