The [[Red Corsairs|Red Corsair]] [[Codicier]] '''Sartak''' is held prisoner by the [[White Scars|White Scar]] '''Arghun''' after being found unconscious upon a White Scar vessel after a Red Corsair raid. He claims that he wishes to repent from his raider ways, that he is a noble [[Astral Claws|Astral Claw]] and that he wants to kill [[Huron Blackheart]]. Sartak tells the White Scars that he would gladly tell them where the Red Corsairs are striking next but that he must find out from his friend aboard the [[Lufgt Lugft Huron|Blood Reaver's]] ship. Arghun and Sartak make their way into the [[Maelstrom]] and are picked up by Blackheart's fleet. Blackheart queries Arghun on his reasons for rebelling from the [[Imperium]], for which he says he shot a superior for retreating. In answer to this, Blackheart orders Sartak to execute Arghun to prove his loyalty to the Corsairs. After executing Arghun, Sartak goes to find his friend and contact '''Lothar''', whom he finds in a duel to the death with a rebel [[Khornate]] [[Ultramarine]]. Lotharis fatally wounded and Sartak only just manages to get the name of the planet out of him: '''Razzia'''. Sartak retreats to his quarters and reaches out into the warp, finding a White Scar [[astropath]] and telling him that Razzia is the planet that the Corsairs will target. Immediately after this, Blackheart and his chief [[psyker]] '''Garlon Souleater''' confront Sartak in his quarters telling him that they knew he and Lothar were traitors and that they used them to misdirect the White Scars to Razzia when their real target was '''Santiago'''. Sartak then battles Blackheart losing his hands in the process and being pyschicly knocked out. When he awakes he finds himself in pitch black darkness, his limbs restrained and tubes down his throat. His perception of time is distorted and he has no human contact. He surmises that he has perhaps been sealed into an escape pod and jettisoned into space or more horrifyingly into a dreadnought sarcophagus, never to be installed into a dreadnought, only to be left to rot for eternity. At this realisation Sartak loses his sanity without even the dignity to scream.
