Much of what follows is information that Astelan himself passed on to various interrogation captains of the Dark Angels after his first arrest as one of the fallen. Therefore, the facts and details of his assertions must be cautious. Help on how to cite can be found in the quotation rules.
Astelan Merir | Warhammer 40-k
A native of Terra, Merir Astelan was a chapter master of the Dark Angels Legion of Space Marines and is regarded as one of the most infamous of the Fallen Angels who treacherously treacherous the Emperor during the Horus heresy. Conquered back by the Dark Angels in the latter part of the 41 st century, he was held in secret at their portable cloister The Rock for a while before escaping.
While he was in prison, he disclosed particulars of the beginnings of the Dark Angels and what had occurred during the heresy that made many of his hearers very concerned about the story of their capitul. It reached its post as Dark Angel Officers after the First Legion was founded on Terra in the thirteenth millennium and before it was reunified with its primary, the Lion El'Jonson, on the Caliban Dead World.
Astelan' s name is now at the top of the Dark Angels Chaplain's private chart, the chart of the one hundred and thirty-six Space Marines who first pledged loyalty to Archtraitor Luther when he revolted against the Dark Angels' Primarch, Lion El'Jonson.
He is currently chased by the Dark Angels as one of the most sought-after members of the traps. He was a member of the Dark Angels Space Marine Legion before the Emperor's Armed Services discovered the location of Primarch El'Jonson. Astelan, a native of Terra, comes from the Siberian steppe.
The ancestors of Merir's descendants liberated the old birth place of mankind from the wicked grasp of the age of struggle. As he began to build a new kind of trans-human warriors, the Emperor took his first volunteer for the genetics tests needed to develop the Space Marines.
It is not surprising that when he perfect his technique for creating the Space Marines, many of Astelan's men were selected to become the first Astartes of the I Legion, and Astelan was among them. Before the Horus heresy began, during the Great Crusade, Astelan was promoted to the prestigious position of First Legion Commander and was based aboard the Dark Angels' flag ship, the Spear of Truth.
As the Emperor Lion El'Jonson explored the Caliban universe, the Space Marines of the I Legion partied. and the Emperor told them that the Dark Angels now had a new home environment. The Dark Angels were delighted by this good tidings, for they were now far from their dear Terra.
They accepted Caliban as their own, and when El'Jonson took control of the I Legion, which had been made from his own generation, the Terran-backed Space Marines of the Dark Angels thought it was right. He and his comrades-in-arms liked that new chapters of the Dark Angels were brought up by Caliban's men because it gave them a sense of identification and purpose, something that was valuable in these turbulent years.
In his capacity as Commander, Merir Astelan headed his own expedition fleet of less than eighteen spaceships, headed by the flag ship Spear of Truth, which conducted many imperial compliance missions. For five Terran years, it had been exploring largely unknown areas of outerspace, with no Legion retooling or replenishment for four years.
But Astelan knew in the last years up to the Byzanthis compliance drive, great progress in this project. Captain Belath, a Kalibanite-born Dark Angel called to his post by the primary himself, was sent to tail Merir Astelan, a native of Terrania, while observing the re-discovered Byzanthis universe.
Chieftain Belath and his navy met with that of Astelan, and Belath told the chief of the mission that the lion had ordered him to connect with Astelan and act as reinforcements for his navy. While Astelan had never previously known of Belath, he was unimpressed by the swift arrival of Calibanites Astartes in the 1st Legion.
However, he was astonished that his navy, which was apparently allocated to a relatively empty area, had been reinforced at all. Shortly thereafter, a Vox of the DX-619 system was discovered and Astelan deflected his vehicle for investigation. The Byzantines, relatively technically mature but not united under a common global regime, seemed a likely contender for non-violent compliance actions, at least for Astelan.
However, Belath, the commander of the Chapters, thought that the better choice was to conquer with a mighty army. A fierce discussion followed, in which Astelan advocated a philosophical belief that warming is bloodthirsty and expensive and should be prevented if possible, and that a conquered subjugated society would be vindictive and sluggish to reach the fraternity with the Empire, which could reach embrace embattled compliance diplomacy.
Belath, for his part, emphasized that the Legiones Astartes were made to wage war, not to engage in diplomatic activity, and that the Lion, who had made him a personal commander, had given him orders that emphasized the destruction and sanction ing of antagonists. Unfortunately, this recon, headed by Astelan himself, found that the city they were planning was a large army stronghold, so that the 1st Legion troops were spotted and assaulted before they could try peace-link.
Astelan denied Belath's plans to retaliate with orbiting and ordered his forces to retreat. However, after discovering that the Earth was ruled by a Committee of Nations, a demarche of all six of the planet's six main national states, Astelan was looking for a final desperate attempt to negotiate with the planet's governing bodies.
At first, the encounter went well under the leadership of Astelan, but the most serious came quickly when the Byzantine armed force of one of the national states discovered the ships of the Dark Angels in space, preparing for an unavoidable assault over the Byzantine nation's population.
Furious at the action of his opponent, Astelan had no other option than to join the fierce Belath and eventually ordered a complete planetquake. Subsequently, Astelan was upset at the use of force and cautioned Belath that his infamous acts would not go unpunished. 2. He was unimpressed by such empty menaces and replied that it would be Astelan who would be penalized, for he had already sent back an astropathetic account to Caliban in which he informed her of the "cowardly" action of the chapter commander against Byzanthis.
While it is not known that Belath's account was the immediate cause, Commander Astelan and many of his Terra-born branches were soon instructed by the Lion to revert to the home world of the Dark Angels of Caliban and join their garrison powers, along with many of his Terran-born dark angels.
According to Astelan, the lion had left him and his comrades-in-arms there in the lurch, while the Legion's Kaliban-born Astartes gained great fame in the Great Crusade. The Primarch felt that he had turned away from those who had come before him, who had received him as a prodigal dad and had taken his home world as their own.
While Astelan thought this was a serious fault, he and his Space Marines had taken an oath of allegiance and did not want to destroy them. that his primarch would see the fault he had made. The lion was asked by Astelan to rethink his choice, but they were all given back without answer.
One of the few Terrans to have served with the First Legion on Caliban, Astelan was sent back to minister in Aldurukh, the Dark Angels' main convent on Caliban, about fifteen Terran years after Luther and the remainder of the formation squad rejoined the Dark Angels' world after the Sarosh War.
After Jonson's rise to primary commander, Astelan' unexpected transfer from the front lines of the Great Crusade was as confusing for his colleagues on Caliban as their own fifteen years earlier, when he quickly became commander of an entire Legion section as he was.
Relocation to Caliban was regarded by the people there as a kind of exiles, and a sole veteran Terran Chaptermaster, sent there by the Great Crusade's service, was deemed confusing, especially since Astelan himself appeared to have been in Sarosh and had prevented the original relocation. While they suspected that Luther was conscious of the conditions of Astelan's rendition, when Astelan, like the remainder of them, had been banned from the Legion's expedition fleet, the Master of Caliban did not make this fact known.
However, Luther quickly made a great contribution to Astelan and immediately commissioned the Terran to head one of the reorganized chapters of practice and treat Astelan with the reverence and appreciation he showed his other Battle Brothers. Luther's charism and leading qualities quickly convinced Astelan, and soon no other member of the Legion was more faithful to the Master of Caliban.
Astelan, the Arch-Heretic chapter master, was a capable commandant and a vet and skilled knight. When Sar was made guardian of Caliban by Sar G. T. Luther, the lion's ancestor. It is said that he was honored by the Primarch for his belief and confidence in him to such an extent that he left him behind as guardian of the Legion's world.
However, the damaged Luther had become a sore thumb by what he regarded as his secondary occupation from the splendour of the Great Crusade, for a seal of zeal and envior had been sown in him since the emperor first came to Caliban and everything had forever been transformed for the monarch.
By the time the Emperor first came and the Dark Angels were handed over to El'Jonson for guidance, Luther had cried that he was too old to become a space navy. Luther was and could never be a real space navy. Few were listening to him, most of them the new Legion.
Almost fifty years later, in the 200nd year of the Great Crusade, a revolt erupted in Caliban, in which certain parts of the Indians rose up against it. At first Luther was not prepared to use his legion force to fight his own nation, but he was finally compelled to use Astarte's force to examine serious issues such as the disappearances of the whole staff and the emperor's army's defence of a chemical facility.
Astelan was one of the first to move forward, and Zahariel was happy to have the veterans on the campaign, although he was a little nosy about Astelan's war cries... "To Luther! "Zahariel and Astelan's troops finally faced and dismantled a group of locals who had been tarnished by chaos, and both consented to destroy the whole place after the event to preserve what they had found by emperor agencies other than Luther and the Dark Angels' Kaliban Forces.
Following this finding, the minds among the leaders of the Calibanite Legion, especially between the Terran librarian Israfael and Luther himself, were undermined. As Israfael became particularly sharp in his differences, Astelan was watched by Zahariel as he reached for his arms, which prompted the outraged, younger librarian to take action to maintain peacemaking between his siblings.
Luther Astelan immediately gave Caliban the direct leadership of the Planetary Defense Forces and ordered him to put the military outpost. Shortly thereafter, the Caliban policy got even worse when Northwild's arcology was attacked by a power of seemingly zombie-like forces from the deep of the world.
As Astelan was present at another gathering of Commanders-in-Chief, which was convened due to increasing tension, he witnessed - together with Zahariel, Israfael and Lord Cypher - that Luther manifested that he had abandoned his belief in Lion El'Jonson. As Israfael cracked the lines and Luther attacked, Astelan tried to subjugate the librarian with the piston of his gun, but was thrown by telekinetic force through the room.
Astelan survived the close combat in which Israfael was vanquished and critical-injured without further damage, and was then ordered by Luther to arrest all leading emperor agencies on the globe, as well as the commander of the Emperor's army and the Mechanicum troops located there. For a long time Astelan was reluctant to obey such an open, traitorous order, but finally declared his willingness to do so.
When Luther had concluded his ensuing full acquisition of Caliban, Astelan was approached by one of his troop leaders, Captain Melian, with concern about the directions in which things were going on the face of the earth, especially that new legionnaires were vowed to protect Caliban instead of vowing loyalty to the Emperor of Mankind.
Commenting on Luther's changes, Astelan said that the Caliban Dark Angels, a power to stay as a guard on a no-navy domain seemingly forgot by the remainder of the I Legion, were virtually immaterial to the advancement of the Great Crusade and could therefore have as much as possible of the pride to be the nucleus of Caliban's planetary defensive power.
But when he learned that Captain Melian was speaking for a group of military and veteran officer in his squad who were getting ready to take military measures against Luther to acknowledge their concern about his possible treason, Astelan consented to help them plan a lawful and unbloody course of attack on the planet's commanding officer.
Suggesting confiscating a second communication head and send notices to Terra and the Lion to demand the re-establishment of the initial Legion records and chain of command until the Lion could investigate the matter in person, while he just detained Luther under tight-assignment. But not without the cautious statement that Astelan would become the commanding officer of the armed forces according to the old Legion memo.
Independently of this, the plot was executed; most of the plotters would go to the tower as part of a "live ammo training", while most leaders of the rudiments, among them Astelan, would face and detain Luther. He was astonished by Astelan's appearance in the mission that wanted to take him, and also by what was to happen next.
When Astelan approached the Imperial Army commandant who occupied the lighthouse - Marquesa-Colonel Tylaine - she ordered her to continue with her previously arranged schedule. Then the Imperial Army and a Dark Angels troop under the leadership of Astelan's underling, Captain Galedan, abruptly assaulted the conspirator's group. When it became clear that Astelan had only teamed up with the plotters so that he could conquer their schemes from within, Luther followed Astelan by turning against the leaders and killing them all with him.
The conspiracy has mostly given up instead of fighting other Marines, and the little revolution was over before it could really begin. The number of rebellious detainees was so great that there was not enough room for them all in the prisons of Aldurukh. Luther was advised to just cut new ones into the rocks of the convent.
Astelan asked why Astelan let the plot come this far instead of revealing it to him immediately because he suspected that Astelan really wanted to bring down his power and would only have changed sides to be content with him. Finally, according to Luther, Astelan's aversion to Caliban and Calibanite ways is "known".
In Astelan' s reply, he thought the lion was a stain, that since the Legion was rediscovered everything had gone awry, and that he would rather worship a more dignified master, especially one whom he thought he had also wanted to free the Legion from the lion.
Luther was bold enough to say that he had something else in mind, and Luther decided to keep quiet. Luther's first act after the suppression of the insurrection against his authorities was to elevate Astelan's Lt Galedan to the position of chaptermaster. He confided to his former commandant that he was glad her former companion, the former Melian Pspirator, had lived and hinted that he would be useful to them when Astelan unavoidably tried to dismiss Luther as Master of the First Legion.
At least for the time being, Astelan objected that he had no such plan. Later on Astelan ordered a cleansing of the recently arriving Loyalists on Caliban under the leadership of Chapter Master Belath, pushing Luther further into treason and treason against the Lion and the Emperor. Remark: The following report is by Merir Astelan's witness, which he gave after his first arrest as one of the fallen angels under the service of the interrogation plan of the Dark Angels.
The Dark Angel Primarch was far away at that point and continued the Great Crusade when Astelan and his brethren received horrible tidings on Caliban - Horus, the greatest of the primarchs, the Imperial Warm-up Master, had become a traitor. The reports were fragmented and rare, but Astelan and his brethren were gradually putting together what had happened in the first few clashes.
On more than one occassion, the Dark Angels of Caliban had overheard that the Dark Angels of the Lion had turned against the Emperor or that the Lion El'Jonson had been slayed. We have been talking about the space wolves who fight a thousand sons and Astartes who kill Astartes across the entire width of the Gazeliac.
Luther -- a great self-styled human brave and human chief -- despaired of this alleged loneliness and the belief that the lion's envy had condemned him to rotting, had withdrawn from his turret in vain scolding and screaming, without Astelan's leadership and plans to transform the Dark Angels abandoned on Caliban into something meaningful.
For while the newer Calibanite Astartes, who were to stay on the planets, took the Primarch as their master, the majority of the armed services there - the Terran Astartes - felt forsaken by the Lion and were therefore of the opinion that their allegiance was solely to the Emperor. The only reason they heard Luther was out of courteous regard for his accomplishments to date.
When Luther had to move the Terran Astartes to his cause, his oratorio first struck on less sensitive listeners. It was Astelan's deeds that made the big deal happen. An elderly Old Legion vet when he rose up next to Luther and volunteered his assistance to the Master of Caliban, the Terran Astartes followed his leadership.
Later, Astelan asserted that he and his fellows wanted to abandon Caliban to combat the traitorous powers of Horus, but they could not be sure of anything but what was in their own souls. He was Luther who first talked about abandoning Caliban and joined the struggle to protect the Emperor.
Astelan and his Battle Brothers did not know what their primarch wanted from them - communications with the remainder of the I Legion had been interrupted in the confusion of the universe, and the lion's intention was veiled by centuries of photo-years and many contradictory rumors.
However, there were some Dark Angels on Caliban, Calibanite slaughter brethren who had grown up again, perhaps lacking some of the Old Legion's belief and eagerness to resist their departure to help the Emperor without the primary's permit. Later Astelan asserted that these "lionist" dissidents had initially assaulted by exposing their treasonable intention with the murders of their comrades.
Astelan, and the others who were faithful to the Emperor, had made every effort to go and embarked on the transport to take them into space, where the Dark Angel Legion battle barges and cruisers, which Caliban was allotted, were waiting for them. However, their strikes were short-lived, as Astelan and his Space Marines were in effect.
The Astelan and his Old Legion Space Marines felt they could not escape Caliban because they were scared of what might come of leaving their adopted home world in the hand of their traitorous former brothers. until they were sure Caliban was out of harm's way.
Astelan and his colleague Loyalist Astartes felt that the menace had been annihilated after three sunny wars. When Astelan and his men thought their enemy had been annihilated, they began to relax their vigilance as they prepared to be depart. They' had hid more thoroughly than Astelan and the Loyalist Dark Angels could have ever dreamed of, in the most hostile places on Caliban.
Astelan and his men did not respond quickly enough and when the planet's defense laser was activated, the dissidents were already in Astelan' navy in space and the loyalists on the top couldn't attack them for being afraid to hit their own warships. Storming them, they took over, and turned the ship's huge cannons and torps onto the remainder of the Loyalist Dark Angels navy in Caliban space.
It was a short-lived struggle, for the War of Terra outdid any ship in space, and soon Astelan's naval force was limited to smoldering, floating debris. The plasma reactors tracking inferno from the ship that was wrecked blew up in the Caliban woods, left crater miles away and sent dirt and rocks into the skies to darken the sundown.
The Libonist dissidents had not only abandoned Astelan and his soldiers on Caliban, they had also destroyed the entire world, which had now become their warren. By overthrowing Terra, Caliban had become a devastated, bleak place - the woods were dying and the life-giving energy of the Sun was wiped out by the cloud of filth and ashes hanging in the outlines.
Ancient Legion Space Marines and Astelan felt great humiliation and blame as the surrounding tree was burning and the starlight was taken from them. He had settled in Angelicasta, the Tower of Angels, the biggest fort on Kaliban and the biggest Dark Angels fortification.
He had personally taken control of the central defence and lasers from a commando center several hundred kilometres away. At first, when he heard a message that a new navy of spaceships had come into space, Astelan thought that the traitor vessels had come back - those who had evicted his Space Marines in the first fight against the Lionists.
Soon it became clear that the Primarch of the Dark Angels had come back. And Luther turned directly to Astelan for help. Because he feared the lion's anger at what had happened to the Kaliban, Luther did not know what to do. On his own proactive way, as deputy of Caliban's planetarian defense force, Astelan gave the fierce order with the codeword "Starfire" to open fire on the advancing Dark Angels' spaceships.
And Astelan felt that there was nothing else they could do. Commandant of the Chapters believed that El'Jonson would eradicate the Dark Angels left on Caliban because he assumed that the Libonist vessels had hit the Primarch first and that their distorted versions of the incidents had condemned all those who had stayed on Caliban.
for what had happened to his world. He was also afraid that her primarch was no longer faithful to the emperor. Ashlan and the Dark Angels based on Caliban had hardly ever known the deeds of their legion during the Horus heresy, and he did not ignore the thought that this was due to the fact that El'Jonson had taken Horus' side.
Master Astelan claims that he had the powers on Kaliban fire on their brothers because he wanted to kill Lion El'Jonson. Loyalties of the Terran part of the First Legion were primarily to the Emperor, and its primarch was a remote second in their affection. As Astelan felt it was his obligation to the Emperor to defend the Space Marines under his commands - Space Marines that the Emperor himself had selected and reared and who were now possibly under threat from their own primary ark, as had occurred to the Astartes of the Traitor Legions on Istvaan III, who had stayed faithful to the Master of Humanity.
Only later did Astelan realize that he was mistaken when he believed that Lion El'Jonson had been looking for a settlement with him and the Legion's Terran Astartes. He was Jonson's monk and pal Luther, whom the primarch wanted to destroy. To rescuer Luther, Steward of Caliban, who grew to resent El'Jonson.
Meanwhile, the artillery of the incoming Dark Angels navy beat the planets until the Caliban area began to break under the pressure of bombard. When the lion was fatally injured after their fight, Luther recognized his own error and collapsed next to the dead primary when Caliban sunk into a warp tower of an epic dimension.
The city of Kaliban broke and broke into innumerable pieces of stone and powder. Following the fall of Kaliban, Astelan and the other fallen angels were drawn through the warp and dispersed over warp. Re-awakening the 41 st millennium cosmos he spent two hundred Terran years at large with his (then unknown) followers in the Dark Angels Channel before finally becoming aware of them.
From warp 9,000 Terran years later in the 41 st millennium, Astelan found himself in a faraway land known as Scappe Delve, whose residents were obliged to stay in subterranean lodgings due to the dangerous natural conditions of the area. Astelan soon found out, however, that Trialartes clandestinely smuggled guns to unsavory organizations, and he escorted the contraband to the Port Imperial mercenaries' outpost.
There, he encountered two more Traps Angels, Methelas and Anovel, who had come a hundred years ago and became the commandants of the empty-zone. Astelan, a native of Kaliban, did not recognize them, but they knew him immediately and placed themselves under his commands. When the three fallen began their crusades by chasing and destroying the Brethren who used Port Imperial as a stopover, Astelan was told by the other two about the changes of the Dark Angels and their subdivision into individual sections during the second foundation.
Because of different visions for a "Greater Empire", Astelan finally abandoned the other two traps after the incidents on Scappe Delve. As the Holy Carthus was under attack by emperor ships they thought was a rogue vessel, it became clear that the two Calibanite dark angels had more faith in revenge on those they had sold out in Caliban than in defending the emperor's philosophy.
Recognizing this fact, Astelan abandoned it on the small universe of Tharsis. Astelan saw his opportunity to make a big impact and once again struggle for the emperor's ideal. Eight more years later, after a lot of bloody work, Astelan gave the imperial commander what he had promised: the win.
Recognizing that Dax wanted to bring the old aristocratic rulers back to power after the end of the conflict, Astelan's "holy gangs" of ruling armies carried out another uprising, killing the imperial commander and urging Astelan to take his place as the new planetary governor.
Ecclesiarchie chiefs gave Astelan an ultimate to recognize the emperor as Gott or to face a third uprising. Embarrassed by her narrow mindless doctrine and a downright refusal of the imperial truth, Astelan took her and all the other members of the Adeptus Terra on the surface, who felt the same about the Force, and stood up as the single authoritarian on Tharsis.
However, Astelan, not known during the last phase of his rebellion against the Emperor's commander of Tharsis, a single capsule of Emperor's lifetime got out of the stellar system and proclaimed a 9-1. The call was taken by a Dark Angels spaceship that passed by the section that brought back the surfer and heard the history of what had spread to Tharsis.
Then the Dark Angels sent questioning chaplain Boreas to study, who finally fought Tharsis's soldier until Astelan realized who had come to the planets he now reigned. When Astelan ordered to withdraw, he permitted the questioning chaplain and his Deathwing's entourage to his commando shelter, where he was immediately taken into their care as soon as he was ID'd as one of the fallen and brought to the Tower of Angels on the Rock for questioning.
Ashlan fought powerfully against their services and lived and explained much about the past of the Chapters and the Old Legion before heresy. Revealing that it was his order that burned Caliban's defense battery against the Lion El'Jonson navy when they came back, he disclosed that it was his call that Luther followed when the Dark Angels on Caliban were unsure that they were being guided in the right directions as they watched over the state.
At the beginning of the millennium, Astelan acknowledged that his intention was to slay the Dark Angel Primarch, the El'Jonson Limon, because he thought that his vows to the Emperor and the Terran Astartes carried by the Emperor under his commands were inconsistent with the motifs of the Limon and that he was faithful to the Emperor first and at a great distance; therefore the Limon had to be taken away as a menace to the Emperor's will.
Horrified by the fallen angel's admission that he sought the demise of the First Legion Primarch, Boreas despised Astelan's main claim that the destruction of the Great Crusade was the primary's guilt and that the Space Marine Legions were better off staying under the Emperor's unique and individual commands.
It reproached Astelan for being arrogant and jealous, aggravated by Luther's narcissistic orations. Astelan, however, persisted that he had never been in chaos and had always been faithful to the Emperor, and in turn claimed that the Dark Angels and their followers of the 41 st millennium were the real beings of shadows and eclipses, always concealing their motives from the remainder of the empire and revealing their associates in the name of their own obsession al search forredemia.
Eventually, he explained to his hearers how the lion had opened fire on Caliban with a mass bombardment in orbit, his way down to the Angels' Tower to fight a personal battle with Luther, and the obvious warp storm that had driven away Luther, Astelan, and the other martyrs. Because the fallen had rightly noticed that after the Sigillite Malcador's call of emergency, the Lion had come to Terra exceptionally slowly, to the point where the Dark Angels under his commands had never come in a timely manner to take part in the Battle of Terra.
Only Boreas' versions of the incidents in which the lion had been ambushed by the constant intrigues of Horus and the traitor legions and so easily prevented from entering the throne world were despised by Astelan. Laughing in darkness, Astelan unveiled that the lion - an incomparable stratagem that was never conquered in combat - did not come to Terra too belated.
Astelan was taken out of his interview room by Sapphon, the Grand Master of the Chaplains, and taken to a room next to the still alive Luther, the largest of the fallen angels, in the lowest category bombs of The Rock, the movable cloister of the Dark Angels. Some time in the latter part of the forty-fourth century, Astelan finally managed to escape his imprisonment on the rock and met his former companions among the fallen, Methelas and Anovel.
Together, these three fallen angels and the notorious typhus, the former First Captain of the Death Guard Legion, have plotted to adopt a devilish scheme to unify the three distinct machines that made up the so-called Tuchulcha machine, an age-old sensing machine and a possible unit of unidentified warfare, with their brothers' machines to open a doorway through history and history ten thousand years before.
That would allow the Fallen Angels' initial allies to reach the 41 st century. Astelan was planning to unite the fallen, the Death Guard and the new Dark Angels of Astartes into an inexorable Space Marine Legion known as the "Angel of Death" to invade the Gazebuld.
Cypher, the most infamous of the Fallen Angels, let himself be taken prisoner and cautioned the Dark Angels that the Tuchulcha was nestled in the guts of The Rock and that the story of the Dark Angels would change irreversibly if they permitted reunification with the other two motors.
Luckily, this great plan of Astelan and typhus was finally thwarted at the Battle of the Kaliban System thanks to the effort of the Supreme Grandmasters of the Dark Angels, Azrael and Cypher, who succeeded in winning Anonvel to their cause and getting him to turn on his former aides.
