===Horus Heresy===
====Choosing a Side====
Despite the fact that [[Horus]] felt that Khan was the most likely to join him over all remaining loyalist Primarchs, Jaghatai in fact never intended to switch allegiances and stayed true to his father. However he did receive conflicting [[Astropath]]ic messages as to what had transpired in the [[Isstvan System]], and decided to initially hold back his forces under he could determine the true nature of things. When [[Rogal Dorn]] sent a plea for all remaining loyal Astartes forces to make their way to [[Terra]], Khan followed, reluctantly leaving the nearby [[Space Wolves]] to fend for themselves against the [[Alpha Legion]] while also ignoring calls by Horus to attack his brother [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]]. The Khan most of all sought answers for what could have led to this bloodshed before he would take any side in the conflict.{{Fn|4x}} However for a time the White Scars became [[Chondax Campaign|bogged down]] against [[Orks]] and [[Warp Storm]]s in the [[Chondax System]] as part of an elaborate trap by the Alpha Legion. Jaghatai eventually managed to break the Alpha Legion blockade and made his way to the source of all of these troubles to investigate it for himself: [[Prospero]].{{Fn|4x}}

By all mortal standards, the Khan was dead. Nonetheless, Malcador used his psychic powers to try and heal the Primarch. He thought he had succeeded, before noticing that it was the Emperor Himself who had done it. Khan would live, though it would take a long time for him to awake.{{Fn|16}} Sometime later after the Siege had concluded in a loyalist victory, [[Ilya Ravallion]] visited the still-recovering Jaghatai to bid him farewell. By this point Jaghatai had since awoken but was still in bad physical shape and had great difficulty speaking and remembering things.{{Fn|18}}
