First appearing during the insurrection of the Magma Cordelian, the loyalist Guardsmen of the Iridian 334th Regiment had pushed their way into the rebellious Planetary Governor's palace after.

Into the fray were summoned the Cleaved, who massacred the Iridian guardsmen and secured the planet for the traitors.[2]
In 891.M39, the Cleaved appeared out of a newly materialized Space Hulk. Battling the Dark Angels, the loyalist Astartes emerged victorious when their Assault Squads, emerging behind a trio of Dreadnoughts, got close enough to set Cyclonic charges to the space hulks engine room.[3]
