→Horus Heresy
Nearly two solar months after the start of the battle, when the Death Guard discipline collapsed Morturg and his destroyer squad managed to kill the traitor Death Guard marshal [[Durak Rask]] and his entire command squad.{{Fn|1b}}
Later on, around 7 or 15 days after the Precentor's Palace had fallen, Crysos Morturg found himself seriously battered and injured and commanding 19 legionaries from his legion, all wounded as well with their last [[Apothecary]], Daeka, cut in half by a [[Medusa (Siege Tank)|Medusa]] shell in the attack that had driven them from their last holdfast. Joining them were [[Shabran Darr]] from the World Eaters with six of his brothers berserkers who called themselves 'Revengers' and [[Calleb Decima]] the magos from the [[Ordo Reductor]] with his [[Thallax CohortsCohort]]s, who had taken care of stacking away supplies.{{Fn|1c}}
Few in numbers and fueled and sustained by pure spite, the group of loyalists vowed to make an end of it while they were strong enough to do some damage still, an [[Oath of Moment]] to die and in dying make the traitors bleed. To Morturg's surprise, Decima agreed, arguing that "The Logic of war is to consume life and material. All things die, only death is eternal."{{Fn|1c}}
