[[File:TyphonHuman.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Calas Typhon before the [[Horus Heresy]] ]]
During the [[Great Crusade]] Typhon often proved his ability to shrug off wounds and effects of hostile actions alike, becoming a legend amongst his warriors. On the planet of [[Rothric IX]] during the eponymic [[Tribeswar of Rothric IX]] he managed to withstand a hard blow to the side of his head and though this blow would have easily killed a lesser man, Typhon was merely driven into a cold rage, and taking up a short iron bar he killed every tribal warrior around him. In another episode Typhon saved a squad of [[Sisters of Silence]] on the planet of [[Madrighoul]] by throwing himself onto a malfunctioning [[Krak grenade]]. After less than a week in the [[Apothecarion]] he had already healed and discharged himself as fit for active duty.{{Fn|12a}}
During the [[Conquest of Galaspar]], Typhon, then a [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]], was caught in a landslide that killed all the warriors with him including [[First Captain]] [[Antavus Barrazin]]. As he climbed from the debris he encountered a [[Psyker]] scavenger that prophetically hinted at his future heresy. However while taken aback, Typhon refused to heed the message and continued to express a disgust towards sorcery.{{Fn|29}}
According to Typhon himself, he was secretly converted to worship of the [[Gods of Chaos]] during the [[Zaramund Campaign]], receiving revelation at the touch of the hand of an old woman.{{Fn|19d}} Typhon's allegiance to Chaos predated that of his own Primarch, or of [[Horus]] himself.{{Fn|2a}} With the help of his new gods, Typhon became [[First Captain]] of the Death Guard and commander of the battleship ''[[Terminus Est]]''.{{Fn|1}} Typhon was not particularly loyal to Mortarion, and always wished to travel the Galaxy and forge his own destiny in the name of the Ruinous Powers.{{Fn|1}}
