Samus later possessed the headless corpse of [[Serghar Targost]] after [[Rama Karayan]] shot Targost through the head before he could invest [[Proximo Tarchon]] with a [[daemon]] in the bowels of the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''. He managed to kill [[Tubal Cayne]] before Tarchon destroyed Targost/Samus with his gladius.{{Fn|5}}
Samus' s next manifestation took place during the final phase of the [[Solar War]]. He first took on the persona of [[Euphrati Keeler]] in the dreams of the [[Remembrancer]] [[Mersadie Oliton]], urging her to go to [[Terra]] and meet [[Rogal Dorn]] to deliver urgent news about [[Horus]]'s plan. As Keeler escaped her captivity and journeyed to Terra, he took the form of the [[Navigator]] [[Nilus Yeshar]] and appeared exclusively to Oliton, aiding her throughout her journey. Finally after being rescued by [[Garviel Loken]], Oliton was brought aboard the ''[[Phalanx]]'' to meet with Dorn at the height of fighting in the [[Sol System]]. Samus' s plan was complete, and he manifested into the ''Phalanx'' directly through a [[Warp]]-eye implanted on Oliton years earlier by [[Maloghurst]]. Leading Daemonic hordes across Dorn's battlestation, Samus engaged the [[Primarch]] directly in combat. Though slain by Dorn, Samus was able to simply reincarnate himself into a new corpse and begin his rampage anew. He battled Loken once more, causing the [[Knight-Errant]] to go mad and revert to his "Cerberus" persona. In order to stop Samus, Oliton committed suicide in order to close the portal from which he had manifested. With her death, Samus vanished.{{Fn|7}}
He was later among the [[Greater Daemons]] summoned into [[Realspace]] by the [[Thousand Sons]], during the [[Battle for Terra]]{{Fn|8a}}. After the [[Lion's Gate Spaceport]] fell to the [[Traitor]]s, the Daemons were unleashed to destroy the [[Imperial Palace]]'s [[Colossi Gate]]{{Fn|8b}}. While they succeeded in tearing down the Gate's outer defenses, the Daemons were destroyed by the [[White Scars]]' [[Stormseers]] and the [[Adeptus Custodes]], before they could complete their task.{{Fn|8c}}
Samus was able to reform before the conclusion of the Siege, attacking [[Garviel Loken]] as the Knight-Errant explored the corrupted [[Vengeful Spirit]].{{Fn|11a}} Thanks to the efforts of [[Hellick Mauer]] coincidentally reading from a book of lore on Samus, Loken is able to somehow hear the words and use them to avoid turning back to face the Daemon and parry every one of his blows. After a protracted duel, Loken eventually destroys Samus' s physical form with his force sword.{{Fn|11b}}
A member of the [[Blood Pact]], who had renamed himself from Bezov to Samus after a "particularly noisy spirit" had taken up residence in Bezov's soul,{{Fn|10a}} was encountered and seemingly killed by [[Oan Mkoll]] on [[Balhaut]] in 780.[[M41]].{{Fn|10b}}
