Dusk continued to accompany his master even as out of desperation, the Emperor began to drink from the Warp and transform into an entity dubbed the [[Dark King (Entity)|Dark King]]. This proto-god swelled with power to an extent that His very presence killed all Custodians around him save Dusk, who apparently had survived due to Malcador's earlier blessing.{{Fn|2a}} However Dusk was still a near-totally charred corpse, and acted as little more than a mouthpiece for the Emperor during His conversation with [[Ollanius Persson]]. After being convinced by Persson to abandon the power of the Dark King, the Emperor let out a blast of power that managed to heal Caecaltus.{{Fn|2b}}
Dusk, alongside [[Leetu]], [[Garviel Loken]], and the Emperor Himself ultimately faced Horus within [[Lupercal's Court]] aboard the ''Vengeful Spirit''. After Horus grievously wounded the Emperor Dusk briefly stood between the traitorous Warmaster and his King. Defying Horus, Dusk was contempotusly hit with a blast of dark energy emitted from the Warmaster's great eye upon his breastplate. Much to Horus' shock Dusk survived, apparently due to the sigil Malcador had left upon him. Frustrated, Horus was able to gleam all 610 names Dusk had collected and used it to gain absolute power of the Custodian. Horus quickly recited all the names then let out a second blast that obliterated Dusk utterly.{{Fn|3}}
