In the betrayal of Isstvan III Lucius found himself betrayed by the Legion he loved, and found himself fighting alongside Saul Tarvitz with the loyalist marines of the Emperor's Children. As it became apparent that it was Tarvitz who was the hero of the hour for the loyalists, Lucius grew jealous and betrayed his one time friend to the traitor legions as his hunger for glory overcame his already dwindled sense of honour. He did this by attacking a group of thirty loyal marines who were assigned to him. He however did not do this alone. While fighting his own men, Captain [[Solomon Demeter]] arrived at Lucius's position. Lucius cried out for help and thus duped Captain Demeter to think the marines Lucius was fighting were traitors. Unfortunately Demeter realized this after the last of the thirty marines were killed. Lucius and Demeter, who had a mutual dislike toward each other, became locked in combat during which Lucius killed the already wounded Demeter.{{Cite this}}
After his betrayal of the loyalists, his combat skills were recognized and he quickly became the leader of [[Fulgrim]]'s bodyguard of [[Assault Marine]]s, gaining the rank of [[Lord Commander]]. He later was troubled by dreams {{Fn|9a}}that made him convinced that Fulgrim was possessed by some entity, {{Fn|9b}} and led other top-ranking members of the Legion including [[Fabius Bile]] and [[Marius Vairosean]] in the capture of the Primarch{{Fn|9c}}. After ineffective torture and an attempted exorcism{{Fn|9d}}, Lucius came to understand that while Fulgrim had been possessed he had gotten rid of the Daemon himself.{{Fn|99e}}.
Lucius followed his primarch on his quest for the "[[Angel Exterminatus]]." Lucius twice crossed swords with [[Nykona Sharrowkyn]] of the [[Raven Guard]]; the first time Lucius came away with a scar on one cheek, the second time, on [[Iydris]], [[Sharrowkin]] gave him a matching scar and then killed him with two blades through his hearts. Lucius died on Iydris and awakened in [[Fabius Bile|Fabius]]'s apothecarion, amazed to be alive.{{Fn|5}}
