After the coup, Veritus gave Koorland potentially war-changing information: that the lost [[Primarch]] [[Vulkan]] had been rediscovered on the world of [[Caldera]]. When Vulkan was found by the Imperials, he seemed to know who Veritus was. His relation to the Primarch remains unknown.{{Fn|10}} He again displayed significant knowledge of the past when he alerted Koorland to the existence of the last bastion of the [[Sisters of Silence]] on [[Nadiries]], stating that he had been seeking them out for quite some time even before the war.{{Fn|11}}
Following the defeat of The Beast, Wienand and Veritus laid out their future of the Inquisition. It was agreed that the [[Ordo Xenos]] and [[Ordo Malleus]] would be created, with Wienand serving as the leader of the former and Veritus the latter. However during the meeting Veritus collapsed from poison administered by [[Drakan Vangorich]], and Wienand rushed him to the [[Inquisitorial Fortress]] of Terra for treatment. Vangorich had administered the poison days before by mixing in an unseen but otherwise harmless gas that only became lethal when it mixed with the life-support chemicals of Veritus' own [[Power ArmorArmour]].{{Fn|13}}
The dying Veritus was eventually able to awake and divulged his greatest secrets to Wienand. He revealed that he was the ancient [[Iterator]] '''Kyril Sindermann''', one of the four original founders of the Inquisition, and had seen [[Horus]] himself fall to [[Chaos]]. He gave Wienand the key to the [[Citadel of Titan]] and named her his successor as the link between the Inquisition and the [[Grey Knights|secret chapter of Space Marines]] on [[Titan]]. He also revealed that Vangorich had likely secretly given Wienand an antidote to save her from the same poison that had killed him, and that the mad Grand Master of Assassins harbored romantic feelings for her. Before dying he urged Wienand to work with Vangorich for a time to prevent the Imperium from devolving into civil war. Wienand mourned the passing of her rival and likely the oldest man in the Imperium.{{Fn|13}}
