→Actae
Upon meeting Actae, Grammaticus became horrified by her presence, saying she was an object of [[Chaos]], and pleaded with Ollanius to refuse her help. For her part however, Actae stated she was neither a pawn of the Emperor or Horus. Ollanius agreed to the aid of the woman and Pech (now going by "[[Alpharius]]") in reaching the Emperor.{{Fn|4}} Together, the group acquired an [[Arvus Lighter]] and flew to the Imperial Palace across Terra's ravaged landscape.{{Fn|5a}} However as they crossed the frontline, they were engaged by traitor forces near the [[Inner Palace]]. During the fight that followed, Actae displayed great psychic abilities by telekinetically crushing a traitor fighter aircraft{{Fn|5b}}. In the end however, their aircraft was shot down. Actae and the others were guided by "Alpharius" into hidden passages with the intent to reach the [[Sanctum Imperialis]].{{Fn|5c}}
Within the depths of the [[Imperial Dungeon]], Pech was able to reveal his plight and pled with John Grammaticus for help, who eventually was able to immobilize him and turn on Actae by pointing a pistol at her head. However thanks to the pleading of Oll Persson and the psychic confirmation of [[Katt]] that she did not intend to help Horus, John spared Actae and they continued to the throneroom.{{Fn|6c}} Within the Thromeroomthrone room, the group came before [[Vulkan]] , and Actae speculated that Horus was the "[[Dark King (Entity)|Dark King]]" who intended to ascend to a fifth [[Chaos God]].{{Fn|6d}}
As the group continued on their quest to reach the Emperor, they found themselves on a wall of the [[Imperial Palace]] and attempted to find a new plan.{{Fn|7a}} It was then that they were confronted by [[Erebus]], who had been hunting the group since [[Calth]]. In the subsequent battle [[Katt]], [[Zybes]], [[Graft]], and [[Krank]] were all slain by the [[Dark Apostle]], forcing Actae to let out a huge blast of psychic power which caused the wall they were standing on to collapse.{{Fn|7b}} Actae was burined underneath the rubble, continually dying and reviving due to her perpetual nature but still being able to psychically guide Ollanius and John Grammaticus in their quest and warn them of the approaching [[Dark King (Entity)|Dark King]].{{Fn|7c}} Actae herself was saved from the rubble when [[Rogal Dorn]] appeared, having escaped from the Warp-madness that had trapped him aboard the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''.{{Fn|7d}}
