===Horus Heresy===
{{Spoiler|source=The Reflection Crack'd (Novella)}}
{{Spoiler|source=Angel Exterminatus (Novel)}}In the aftermath of the [[Drop Site Massacre]], Eidolon proved unable to deal with the ever-changing tempers of his Primarch as well as other senior members of the Legion did; his under-estimation of Fulgrim's newly highly capricious nature led to a terminal misstep when he chose to ask ''why'' Fulgrim proposed a plan of action, and wasn't able to verbally react quickly enough to soothe Fulgrim's resultant rage; indeed, what words he did manage to say in his defence inadvertently provoked his master further. In a blistering fury brought on by the belief that Eidolon was mocking him and planning to betray him, Fulgrim swiftly drew the [[anathame]] and slew his once-favourite Lord Commander. Eidolon's severed head was then passed over the victory wine of the legion's inner circle, the blood dripping from it being allowed to mix with the alcohol.{{Fn|3}} However with the approval of [[Fulgrim]] himself{{Fn|4a}}, [[Fabius]] managed to reattach Eidolon's severed head to his body and revive him{{Fn|4b}}. He later accompanied Fulgrim to [[Iydris]], leading the ritual that saw his Primarch ascend to [[Daemonhood]].{{Fn|44c}}

After Iydris, the Emperor's Children scattered into disparate warbands as their Primarch became more concerned with the matters of the [[Warp]]. Eidolon managed to take command of a third of the Legion, which began to hunt the [[White Scars]]. During the hunt, Eidolon killed White Scars [[Keshig]] Captain [[Qin Xa]] but still proved unable to corner the loyalists at the [[Battle of the Kalium Gate]]. He later allied with [[Mortarion]] and a sizable contingent of [[Death Guard]] where they nearly destroyed the Scars in the [[Battle of Catallus]]. However the Scars again escaped, and this time Mortarion ordered Eidolon to track down [[Calas Typhon]] and bring the [[First Captain]] back to his fold.{{Fn|6}}
