Loken Murdered by Erebus
Place: Terra · Segmentum Solar
Atrocity Erebus stabs Loken in the back with the Anathame, (re)creating the daemon Samus.
After Horus’s death Garviel Loken insisted on remaining beside the body of the Warmaster. There Erebus struck him in the back with the Anathame and killed him — a deed whose echo in the immaterium (re)created the daemon Samus, “the One Who Walks Behind Us”. Thus the acausal loop of the daemon’s birth was closed.
