Changes

As the powers of the Warp caused space and time to break down, locations on Terra and the ''Vengeful Spirit'' began to overlap and Loken found himself in the new maddened realm dubbed the [[Inevitable City]].{{Fn|15c}} Loken stumbled upon [[Ollanius Persson]], [[John Grammaticus]], and [[Leetu]], saving them from a group of frenzied [[Word Bearers]].{{Fn|15d}} The group was then confronted by the Emperor as He began to transform into a god dubbed the [[Dark King (Entity)|Dark King]], with Loken and Ollanius both proving able to talk the Master of Mankind down from the path of damnation and embrace His humanity.{{Fn|15e}} Afterwards, the Emperor let loose the Warp power He had built up and Loken as well as Leetu went with Him and [[Caecaltus Dusk]] to confront Horus.{{Fn|15f}} Upon coming face to face with Horus, the Warmaster surprisingly wept tears at seeing his son come to kill him.{{Fn|16a}} However in the ensuing struggle Horus showed little mercy to all present, contemptuously blasting back Loken, Leetu, and Caecaltus Dusk as he focused on defeating the Emperor.{{Fn|16b}} Loken was guided by the dying flame of Malcador through the darkness he found himself in, eventually emerging back on [[Sixty-Three Nineteen]] and coming face to face with a mock [[Mournival]] consisting of three centaurs each with the face of Horus.{{Fn|16c}} Loken slew these foes then emerged in [[Lupercal's Court]] just as the Emperor slew Horus with the [[Athame]] before collapsing Himself. Loken looked after both bodies as [[Rogal Dorn]] and [[Constantin Valdor]] arrived.{{Fn|16d}} Despite the urgings of Dorn and Leetu, Loken refused to leave Horus' body and return to Terra. He thus remained as the others left, and was eventually discovered by Abaddon and the surviving sane officers of the Sons of Horus. Abaddon forbade any present from striking down Loken, stating enough blood had been shed.{{Fn|16e}} For his part Garviel urged Abaddon and the others to surrender, promising to see to it that Dorn granted them amnesty for their crimes. As the two former brothers talked, [[Erebus]] emerged behind Loken and stabbed him in the back much to Abaddon's horror. Erebus explained that [[Daemon]]s are created through moments of great betrayal and spite much like this, and that Loken's death would create an echo in the [[Warp]] that first spawned Samus. Thus, the cycle of events that had first led to the Heresy was closed.{{Fn|16f}}

Loken's ultimate fate is unknown, but in a In conversation with [[Epimetheus]], one of the original [[Grey Knights Grand Master|Grand Masters]] of the [[Grey Knights]], during the [[Pandorax Campaign]], Abaddon questions the Grey Knight's lineage. Abaddon quickly dismisses several possibilities, stating he knows he's "not the [[Ultramarine]] [[Tylos Rubio|Rubio]]," nor any of the other 'traitors' from the [[Traitor Legions]] — e.g., [[Nathaniel Garro]] of the [[Death Guard]] or [[Macer Varren]] of the [[World Eaters]].{{Fn|8}}
