Cypher was present at the final battle of the liberation of Amadis, rallying the overwhelmed defenders in the face of Chaos cultist artillery and human wave assaults.

More deadly than the most highly trained master saboteur, Cypher's appearance in even the most benign of situations has wreaked havoc that has changed the course of major wars. More than any other of the Fallen, Cypher has been a shadowy, cloaked assassin, leaving behind a trail of powerful victims, even though it is rarely Cypher who pulls the trigger. The Dark Angels go out of their way to assume these targets were chosen and slain by Cypher himself, but often the facts that led them to these conclusions are ambiguous. Certainly, destruction and death follow in Cypher's wake. Its as if an author was the MC, writing their way to victory. Herakkon should have had the ability to instigate an emergency recall of key Custodes or have been able to lean on further Imperial Institutions. Ancia at his side, Herakkon would not have gone down, and have been in full position to deny Cipher at the end (yet without dying, would not have had the insight to make the decision he did). Cypher is one of the Fallen Angels of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter, and one of the members of that Loyalist Chapter believed to have turned to Chaos during the Horus Heresy in the early 31 st Millennium.

Now, in the Dark Cells of Terra a power-spike floods the switch and all electrical systems in the Dark Cells fail, thus allowing Cypher to escape (Chapter 5). Did Cypher know about this flaw? Then they take their deliberate first shots at the forces of the Imperium, directly destroying AA emplacements. The depths of their commitment is demonstrated by a pilot deliberately self-destructing to destroy evidence. Never mind that if any fragment remains, there is going to be an institution on Terra that can sniff it out. but nothing happened. like I heard the words secret and truth so many times if I played a drinking game I would have had liver failure after the second hour. Some few have even suggested that Cypher will kneel before the Emperor, offering him the blessed blade and by this deed seeking final redemption for the Unforgiven. In the end, all that is known for certain is that the sheathed weapon is yet another mystery.Chaos Lord • Exalted Champion • Chaos Champion • Aspiring Champion • Sorcerer Lord • Daemon Prince • Daemon Prince of Nurgle • Daemon Prince of Tzeentch • Death Guard Lord Truly Forgotten (ca.M33) - The Apocrypha of Davio lists the following as Second Founding Chapters derived from the Dark Angels: Angels of Absolution, Angels of Redemption, and the Angels of Vengeance.
