The shifting portals within the Blind Tesseract allowed Haarlock to visit the past but not change it. So he continued to watch his family's murder over and over with no ability to intervene. Eventually he would use the Blind Tesseract to find a place where he could learn the final means to achieve his desire: an audience with the fabled [[Dusk Hag]] who had eluded him in the past. Upon [[Dusk]], He paid an unknown price to this being of appalling power and forbidden knowledge for the answers he sought. The Dusk Hag revealed that the answer to his desires lay in [[Komus]], the Tyrant Star.{{Fn|3}}
Only that baleful wanderer had the power to end his desires she said, and to it he must go, though in doing so he would be utterly destroyed. Haarlock laughed at her. Had he not already sacrificed all? Was he not Haarlock Kinslayer, master of deamons[[daemon]]s, enslaver of the alien, the night traveller? Did not the death of a hundred worlds already blacken his soul? And so Haarlock returned to the Blind Tesseract and configured his monolithic device to plot a course to where no man had dared before, opened the doorway to darkness, and stepped though.{{Fn|3}}
Mysteriously, shortly before completing his ritual, he vanished.{{Fn|1}}It is rumoured that Haarlock might return from the heart of Komus, or wherever he may have ended up. The door in the Blind Tesseract that he entered and could return from can only be opened from one side. It is said Haarlock could return while Komus hangs above Dusk. If he does return it could spell the doom of billions in the Calixis Sector.
