When the [[Emperor]] was [[Horus|mortally wounded]] in the [[Siege of Terra]], this created a [[psychic]] apparition of Manus which briefly appeared before the [[Iron Hands]] on [[Medusa]]. According to the [[Iron Council]]'s logs, their [[Primarch]] warned them that a calamity would come to befall [[Mankind]]. When it occurred, though, Manus promised he would return to lead the Iron Hands against it and the apparition then disappeared.{{Fn|22}}
Since the Heresy, rumors have persisted that Ferrus did not truly die upon Isstvan and may have been spirited away to [[Horus HeresyMars]], where his body was restored.{{Fn|1a}} [[Clan Kaargul]] maintains that Ferrus Manus will return one day when the Imperium needs him once more. To this end they maintain an eternal vigil over the Karaashi Heights of Medusa, awaiting his return. The other Clans do not have the heart to impede the Kaargul in this, for as long as they maintain their vigil hope remains.{{Fn|16}}
