Andros was the Captain of the Ultramarines Chapter's First Company, when he took part in his Primarch Roboute Guilliman's hunt for his traitorous brother Fulgrim, after the Horus Heresy.[1a]

However, their hunt ended in disaster, when their strike force was ambushed by Fulgrim's Emperor's Children fleet above Thessala and the Ultramarines and their Successor Chapters began to be slaughtered. Aboard the Gauntlet of Power, Guilliman desperately ordered a teleportation strike upon Fulgrim's flagship, the Pride of the Emperor, but despite Andros and Captain Aeonid Thiel pleading with Guilliman to escape from the ambush aboard the Gauntlet, their Primarch insisted he would lead the attack. With Guilliman's decision made, the Ultramarines joined strike teams from their Successor Chapters in teleporting aboard the Pride of the Emperor, but while their Successors worked to disable Fulgrim's flagship, Guiliman led his strike team to confront his Brother.[1a] However, when they neared Fulgrim's location within the Heliopolis, Guilliman asked his sons to wait outside while he fought his Brother. Once again, both Andros and Thiel tried to reason with their Primarch, but Guilliman's decision was final and the two Captains agreed to wait with the strike team unless the Primarch needed them.[1b] This decision would prove to be a fatal mistake, as Guilliman was no match for his corrupted Brother and when he called for Andros and the strike team to aid him, Fulgrim unleashed the waiting Emperor's Children upon them. In the fierce fight that followed, the two Primarchs dueled once more as their sons fought around them, until Fulgrim viciously cut Guilliman's throat. As his Primarch collapsed to the ground, an outraged Andros ordered the Ultramarines to fight Fulgrim, while he ran to Guilliman's side and then told the Gauntlet of Power to teleport the strike team from the Pride of the Emperor. Seconds after he gave the order though, Andros was killed by a sonic blast from a Noise Marine; but thanks to his actions, Guilliman and what remained of their strike team were teleported to safety.[1c]
