Vitatum Crusade

"They may forget why we're here, what we fought, even who we are. But they will not forget what we did."

- Sir Jacob before stepping off the Crusade '''

The Vitatum Crusade was an undertaking by Sir Jacob and numerous allies to rescue Celestina Neverone and break the back of the Forces of Chaos, paving the way for Roboute Guilliman's Indomitus Crusade.

Originally wanting to go it alone, Sir Jacob did not hide that he intended it to be a suicide mission. Pained by the loss of his wife, and plagued by increased aggression by the House Devine, Sir Jacob fell into a very dark place indeed. However, as a testament to Sir Jacob's character, numerous loyalist forces rose up and volunteered to fight by his side. What started as a suicide mission turned into a quest for revenge for the Invasion of Raisa.

Furthermore, aided by the Eldar Mystic, Essarrad, Sir Jacob began to study the rituals of the Ruinous Powers, and discovered an Eldritch Truth; that Death was reversible. Souls who leave the maternum are cast into the warp before dissipating into energy. Sir Jacob had a narrow window to save Cellestina before she was lost, or worse, returned as a consort of Chaos. But to do this required the use of the powers of Chaos. And there is only one way to secure such power, by going into the Warp and taking the fight to the Gods of Chaos themselves.

- Sir Jacob comes face to face with fear itself

The Shadow of Horus encountered by Sir Jacob on the Crusade is terrifying anomaly of the Warp. Whether or not it is actually Horus or merely an illusion of Chaos is still unknown. Appearing as a black silhouette of the Warmaster Horus Lupercal, The Shadow lacks true material form, but possesses an advanced level of sentience. It is able to converse with Sir Jacob and even impede him with psychic energy.
