===Recent history===
Since the Heresy, Typhus has continued to spread the glory of Nurgle across the galaxy. Leading a contingent of Death Guard of the '''[[Plague Fleet]]''' from the [[Terminus Est]], Typhus is known to have laid waste to many worlds and waged many battles in Nurgle's name. He has even travelled to the [[Garden of Nurgle]] inside the [[Warp]] itself, where he has battled [[Khornate]] [[Daemon]]s. After killing the leader of this daemon army, he took the dog-headed daemon's guts and brought them to the Nurgle Palace itself as a gift for Nurgle's Cauldron. The [[Lord of Decay]] was so pleased that for this great deed Typhus was honored with being allowed to dip his [[Manreaper]] into the filth of the Throne of Nurgle.{{Fn|12b}} Typhus turned into [[Plaguebearers]] whole population the entire populations of [[Protheus]] and [[Carandinis VII]] with all their billions of people. He destroyed the population of the [[Shrine World]] [[Jonah's World]] with a carefully orcestrated orchestrated pandemic and unleashed the Red Flux on the planet of [[Florins]] , wiping out the entire male population there.{{Fn|12b}} Typhus has also laid waste to the world of [[Ligeta]] with a noise-plague where the infected became forced to eternally sing a hymn to the Lord of Decay.{{Fn|7}} In 757.[[M40]], he killed 23 billion people on [[Hydra Minoris]] with the [[Zombie Plague]].{{Fn|9a}} In the [[13th Black Crusade]], Typhus' s Plague Fleet was the first Chaos force encountered by the Imperium. In the Crusade, his forces went on to ravage the [[Agripinaa Sector]].{{Fn|8}} He also oversaw the Infestation infestation and desecration of a the holy planet [[Annunciation]] by himself alone.{{Fn|11}}
In M41 , Typhus once again attempted to unite the [[Tuchulcha]] Engine with its brother devices, this time in cooperation with the [[Fallen Angel]] [[Astelan]]. The two planned to gather the original Fallen with Typhus' s own forces to create a new legion known as the "Death Angels". However, they were [[Battle of the Caliban System|foiled]] by the [[Dark Angels]] , led by [[Azrael]] and , surprisingly, [[Cypher]].{{Fn|14}}
After [[Fabius Bile]] stole the Nurgle artifact knows as the [[Ark Cornucontagious]] from the [[Scourge Stars]], Typhus pursued the former [[Emperor's Children]] [[Chief Apothecary]] with his [[Plague Fleet]] in a bid to reclaim it and with it the Spider's head. In the ensuing [[War of the Spider]], Typhus battled not only Bile's [[Terata]] and his [[Shriven (Warband)|Shriven]] allies but also a [[Custodes]] force under [[Shield-Captain]] [[Tyvar]]. Thanks to Bile's machinations, Typhus was unable to corner the Spider and had to withdraw in the face of the Custodes.{{Fn|15}} After the creation of the [[Great Rift]] Typhus launched a major [[Charadon Campaign|attack on the Charadon Sector]], besieging the [[Forge World]] of [[Metalica]] and corurpting it with a computer phage known as the [[Nemesis Wurm]] after a prolonged battle.{{Fn|24}}
Typhus later appeared as part of [[Mortarion]]'s armada during the [[Plague Wars|Death Guard invasion of Ultramar]]. Typhus led a splinter fleet which terrorized the outer regions of Ultramar. During the invasion of Ultramar,
