Besides, if that death actually happens and is set before Warhawk would be absurd for his demise not having any emotional consequence in neither Keeler nor Loken, as they don't even mention it in Warhawk. But we already get that with Malcador's fate after Fury of Magnus, not mentioned at all in Mortis nor Warhawk. Though disappointed by Garro's point of view, Mortarion still hoped to turn Garro to the Traitors' cause. He appointed the battle-captain as his equerry, taking him to an important conclave aboard the Warmaster's flagship, the Vengeful Spirit, to discuss the upcoming campaign in the Isstvan System. The primarch still hoped to sway Garro's loyalty towards the Warmaster's cause -- a cause now his own.

From out of the shadows of the Silent War, a hero emerges. Clad all in grey, an errant warrior of the Legiones Astartes kneels before the Regent of Terra, and accepts a solemn new duty - Battle-Captain Garro, once commander of the Eisenstein, now Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite. While in the Sol System, Garro also infiltrated the Imperial Fists' mobile fortress-monastery Phalanx in an attempt to recruits the Codicier Yored Massak, who had been sealed in a vault with the other Librarians of the Imperial Fists in accord with the Decrees of Nikaea. The remaining eight Knights-Errant were then taken through a Webway portal in the Imperial Palace to the fortress-monastery that had been prepared for them on Titan, the moon of Saturn, to begin their new mission. As the epic battle for Terra rages and the future of mankind hangs in the balance, former Knight Errant Nathaniel Garro fights among the ashes and fire of the embattled Imperial Palace as the shadow of Horus Lupercal's triumph looms. From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite's Agentia Primus, Garro's path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. The Legion's Apothecaries had not declared him fully healed and therefore Garro was deemed unfit for battlefield operations. His command also remained on limited duty until their commander was fit to reenter combat.

As his primary weapon, Garro carried a power sword called Libertas fashioned in the style of a broadsword with a heavy monosteel blade. An old Terran weapon, elements of it existed before the birth of its wielder and even predated Old Night. [3] The Emperor had foreseen that the end of the Horus Heresy would cost Him greatly, so much so that He would no longer be able to take an active hand in Mankind's survival. Aware of Keeler's central role in the growing cult of Emperor-worship, the Warmaster hoped her death would unleash mass religious hysteria, further damaging Terra's stability as the Traitor forces closed on the Sol System.

Horus Lupercal has drunk deep of the power granted by his dark patrons to become Horus Ascended. The next release in the Horus Heresy Character Series is the Primarch of the Sons of Horus, the Emperor’s traitorous Warmaster, at the peak of his powers. It bore some resemblance to the newer Sword-class craft, but only inasmuch as most Imperial starships shared a similar design philosophy. Garro knew that they would not be making much history on this day. As one might expect, Nathaniel Garro is the protagonist. We follow his final hours alongside Euphrati Keeler, the living saint, another mainstay of the Horus Heresy series. As the cover artwork suggests, the main attraction of the book is Garro's showdown with his gene father, the fallen Primarch of the Death Guard Legion, Mortarion. Every word of this encounter is superbly written, a delight to read. The Traitor operatives infiltrated Keeler's group of the faithful, but when they moved to kill the Living Saint, Garro intervened, cutting Haln in half with his great sword Libertas and then killing Kell before he could unleash the Daemon-possessed weapon Horus had given to him to carry out his task.

The wound meant that Garro could not be declared fit for combat duty, and he was instead posted to the Death Guard frigate Eisenstein alongside Commander Ignatius Grulgor. It came to pass that Garro was in command when Saul Tarvitz made his desperate attempt to reach the surface of Isstvan III and warn the legions there of Horus' betrayal. Garro aided his honour-brother in reaching the surface and so learned of the beginning of the Horus Heresy. [1f] They had been at the forefront of the first Word Bearers assault and it had been their burden to witness the deaths of too many of their battle-brothers at the hands of the Traitors and their daemonic allies. They were now a company in name only. Yet He also knew that the threat of Chaos would not see defeat with Horus, but would continue to haunt Humanity. The very nature of the Horus Heresy had proven that the Space Marines were not immune to corruption as the Emperor had once hoped. So the Emperor set His hand to plans that would win a wider victory from the ashes of a most personal defeat.
