The Traitor Legions, along with the restored but still numerically inferior Sons of Horus, then became embroiled in a series of internecine wars triggered by the [[Emperor's Children]] legion, culminating in the destruction of the Sons of Horus' fortress. To the disgust of the Sons of Horus, the Warmaster's corpse was taken by the Emperor's Children and several clones were created by their self-styled 'Primogenitor', [[Fabius Bile]].{{Fn|1}}
At this point Abaddon, Captain of the 1st Company (himself rumoured to be a clone of Horus), took the position of Warmaster and leader of his legion, while at the same time absorbing talented individuals from other Traitor Legions into the unit. Under him, the Sons rejected Horus's name and painted their armour black. Abaddon led this new "Black Legion" in a lightning raid, destroying the corpse and the clones of the Warmaster. The Legion fled onboard their remaining space vessel into further exile. They have raided the [[Eye of Terror]] and the Imperium ever since.{{Fn|1}}
