Following the salvation of Baal, Guilliman named Dante the Lord Regent of [[Imperium Nihilus]].{{Fn|9}} He used his new authority to organize an offensive to retake the [[Red Scar]] region from the tendrils of Leviathan known as the [[Angel's Halo]].{{Fn|10}} He has since undergone the [[Rubicon Primaris|operation]] to become a [[Primaris Space Marine]].{{Fn|14}}
====Arks of Omen==== During the [[Arks of Omen Campaign]]Dante led a force of [[Blood Angels]] to intercept an Ark that was targeting the [[agri world]]s of the [[Saganas Belt]]. Upon arrival they found the Ark, [[Night Terror]], drifting in the voide with wrecked heretic warships around it. After boarding it they found dead heretics, astartes and humans, who had been slain by bolter rounds and a large sword, they also found sulpherous residue, the remains of biomechanical infestation mixed with something that resembled wilted plant life. After searching for several days they couldn't find any more clues as to what happened, and Dante ordered samples to be analyzed.{{Fn|19}} Dante was the first high-ranking Imperial official to discover that [[Lion El'Jonson]] had returned after ten thousand years of absence after investigating reports of his return. Dante informed the Lion of recent developments in the Galaxy and that [[Roboute Guilliman]] lived.{{Fn|17}} Taking the Lion aboard his flagship ''[[Absolution's Ire]]'', Dante and [[Imperial Navy]] reinforcements made for the [[Somnium Stars]] to rescue the [[Dark Angels]] and [[Unforgiven]] from the clutches of [[Vashtorr]].{{Fn|16a}}
During the subsequent [[Battle of Idolatros]], Dante arrived to save [[Azrael]] and the Dark Angels aboard [[Wyrmwood]] just as they were about to be overrun by [[Angron]] and his [[World Eaters]]. Alongside his [[Sanguinary Guard]], [[Assault Squad]]s, and [[Redemptor Dreadnought]]s, Dante met the [[Daemon Primarch]] in battle but all were swept aside by the Daemon's fury. As the final blow was about to be struck on the injured Dante, The Lion appeared and intercepted the blow deal.{{Fn|16a}} Dante was subsequently recovered by Azrael and his warriors, and upon regaining his composure was able to coordinate the evacuation of Wyrmwood alongside the Unforgiven.{{Fn|16b}}
