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|9e}}.
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{{Fn|5a}}, the second time, on [[Iydris]], [[Sharrowkin]] gave him a matching scar and then killed him with two blades through his hearts{{Fn|5b}}. Lucius died on Iydris and awakened in [[Fabius Bile|Fabius]]'s apothecarion, amazed to be alive.{{Fn|55c}}
After the events on Iydris, Lucius set out alone in search for a worthy challenge. He crossed paths with [[Hathor Maat]] of the [[Thousand Sons]], who he despised for being so alike to a younger Lucius. Maat told Lucius of [[Sanakht]], a peerless swordsman of the Thousand Sons, and his tower on the [[Planet of Sorcerers]].
