=== Role in the First Tyrannic War ===
{{Main|Behemoth }}
Upon coming across the recently ruined [[Dead World]] of [[Tyran]], Kyrptman uncovered a protected data-codex and learnt about the unknown, cataclysmic alien race which had destroyed the world. After the planet Tyran, he gave the new alien threat the designation "Tyranids".{{Fn|4}}
He went on to warn [[Marneus Calgar]], [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Ultramarines]], of the oncoming [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. This allowed the Ultramarines to prepare for the conflict and to summon support from [[Battlefleet Tempestus]], allowing them to defeat the Hive Fleet.{{Fn|3}}
===Role in the Third Tyrannic War===
===Galactic Cordon===
After one of the two tendrils of [[Leviathan]] was destroyed on [[Tarsis Ultra]], contact was reestablished with the worlds between the two tendrils of Leviathan, which previously had been smothered by the [[Shadow in the Warp]]. This made Kryptman aware of the fall of numerous worlds within this region, each one swelling the ranks of the [[hive fleet]]. With a grim determination, Kryptman began exterminating worlds in Leviathan's path, creating a galactic cordon. Any world within this cordon would undergo [[Exterminatus]] as soon as the [[Tyranids]] invaded, the [[virus bombs]] destroying all life on the planet. This would cause the Hive Fleet to expend large amounts of resources to invade a planet, resources that would then be lost with the planet's destruction. Billions died, in the largest act of genocide the Imperium has faced since the [[Horus Heresy]]. As a result, Kryptman was declared a traitor, a fool and a radical, and a [[Carta Extremis]] was issued for him, stripping Kryptman of his title and condemning him to death, should he be apprehended. However, these harsh measures slowed Leviathan's advance to a crawl.{{Fn|3}}
