Invited by the Master of Assassins whose secret identity was Malcador The Sigillite who oversaw the council of Assassins. Īfter Horus declared his rebellion, Valdor then oversaw the mission and deployment of the first ever execution team. Valdor then assigned Tauromachian with the task of investigating Pherom Sichar, Lord of Hy Brasil, for evidence of treason. When Tauromachian asked how this could happen, Valdor, speaking as someone who knew the Warmaster, rejected theories that it was pride or resentment, instead voicing his belief that something had driven Horus and his closest advisers mad. When Amon Tauromachian returned from his extended Blood Game, Valdor informed his fellow Custodian of how Horus Lupercal had declared rebellion against the Emperor. The other states that Bjorn's arm was cut off by a Skjald of the Space Wolves, Kasper Hawser. Valdor sliced Bjorn's arm off to prevent the corruption from overrunning his body. According to one account, he was also responsible for saving Bjorn when his arm was corrupted by the sorcerous powers of a Thousand Sons psyker. The Captain-General slew every one of these deadly warriors, receiving only a single wound in the process. Valdor eventually faced over thirty of the elite Khenetai 'Blademasters', warriors who could predict an enemies' attacks through psychic precognition. He and his forces were responsible for killing at least three of the greatest psykers of the Thousand Sons and routing a force much more numerous than their own, however little else is known after this. Valdor, with a contingent of elite Custodian Guard, fought alongside Russ and the Space Wolves on Prospero.

Just prior to the open outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Valdor was charged by the Emperor to accompany Leman Russ of the Space Wolves in bringing Magnus the Red to account for breaking promises made during the Council of Nikaea at which the Emperor strictly forbade the use of sorcery and psychic powers. By the 41st Millennium a book which apparently had his whole name written down took up an entire volume. Prior to the Horus Heresy, Valdor had earned 1932 names.

Valdor instead wished to raise armies of mortals to be led by his Custodians. Valdor couldn't understand why the Arch-Enemy had decided to spare them, and believed that if they were alive then they would be corrupted. Later Valdor expressed his surprise when Malcador stated that the Primarchs were still alive and that the Emperor was attempting to find them. Surprisingly, Valdor spared Kandawire and let her leave the Palace to retire in peace. During the battle the rebels were crushed and Valdor slew Ushotan, an act he took no gratification in as he had admired the General. Valdor urged the conspirators to surrender, but when they refused he deployed the proto- Legiones Astartes in their first battle. However the conspirators still struck in the Palace Coup, during which Valdor was confronted by Kandawire, as well as Ushotan and his surviving Thunder Warriors. He had become suspicious of Grand Provost Marshal Uwoma Kandawire, dispatching Samonas to unravel her conspiracy before it could begin. īy the end of the Unification Wars Valdor had emerged as part of the ruling 'triumvirate' of Terra alongside the Emperor and Malcador. During the Battle of Maulland Sen Valdor witnessed the savagery of the Thunder Warriors and became worried over their future. A handful of years later, he assassinated Koja Zu, the Minister of the Anuatan Steppes, and claimed her son, Ra Endymion, for the Legio Custodes. He served during the Unification Wars at the Battle of Maulland Sen. While commonly accepted as the first Custodes Valdor does not recall if he was truly the first Custodian, or simply the first successfully produced one. Valdor himself knows very little of his past before becoming the Emperor's servant. According to Amar Astarte, his original parents were killed by the Emperor, who moved entire armies across continents to locate and retrieve him.
