Changes

Horus eventually saw fit to have Loken eliminated during the betrayal at [[Isstvan III]], placing him at the front of the doomed invasion force alongside his friend and fellow marginalized Mournival member Torgaddon. When the [[virus bomb]] strike failed to kill all of the loyalist forces on the surface, the entirety of the [[traitor legions]] were eventually deployed to wipe out the survivors, who had fortified the Precentor's Palace under Loken's, Torgaddon's, and [[Saul Tarvitz]]'s command. Given command of the loyalist Astartes of the XVI Legion, Loken declared that they were once again the Luna Wolves.{{Fn|3}} Loken fought to the last as a loyal servant of the [[Emperor]] and refused to give any quarter to those who had betrayed the Emperor in favour of Horus. After witnessing the death of [[Tarik Torgaddon]] at the hands of [[Horus Aximand]] he was wounded on Isstvan III by his old comrade [[Abaddon|Ezekyle Abaddon]], and was believed to have perished in the final orbital bombardment of the planet, along with the last surviving loyalists{{Fn|3}}. Loken and Torgaddon's deaths (supposed in the case of former) marked the removal of one of the final obstacles to Horus' great ambitions.{{Cite Marker End}}
