During the [[The Shattering|battle of Lugganath]], Oleander revealed his true agenda and urged Fabius Bile to reject his current path and instead take up command of a renewed Emperor's Children [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]. Disgusted by Oleander's collaboration with the Harlequins, Fabius refused and left the Apothecary aboard dying Lugganath.{{Fn|1a1b}}
Oleander was taken by Veilwalker and delivered to the [[Dark Eldar]] [[Haemonculi]] [[Hexachires]]. Obscenely tortured over centuries, the Haemonculi treated his pet with a mixture of admiration and hatred as the former Apothecary took pleasure from much of the pain.{{Fn|2a}} During the [[Battle of Belial IV]] Oleander briefly allied with Bile to attack his master, being badly damaged in the process. As he lay dying he was executed by Veilwalker, who stated his tale had come to an end.{{Fn|2b}}
