He would often fall into a trance-like state during which, according to him, he was receiving the words of the Emperor, although what he actually said were mumbling arguments with himself, and sometimes shouting out loud for no reason.

There were those under his command who would do his every command, including bombarding the [[Hive World]] of [[Calana VII]] without reason. He also ordered them to invade the farmlands of Boras Minor and enslave every female child under twelve years of age and melt the ice caps of [[Jhanna]] with the orbital defense cannons, drowning nearly four million people.
