Eventually, Remus Ventanus would die. He was buried in an elaborate [[Tomb of Ventanus|tomb]] (suspected to have been designed by Guilliman) in the [[Cavernas Draconi]] in Calth,{{Fn|2b}} buried with the Shard of Erebus.{{Fn|2c}} In the following ten thousand years, the Tomb's location was lost. [[Uriel Ventris]], the future Captain of the Ultramarines 4th Company, would eventually rediscover the tomb as a child, but told no one of his discovery, for to boast of it would have been to lessen the accomplishment. This knowledge would eventually be passed to [[the Newborn]], a [[Warp]]spawned clone of Ventris in the service of [[Warsmith]] [[Honsou]] of the [[Iron Warriors]].{{Fn|2b}}
During the [[Bloodborn]]'s [[Invasion of Ultramar]], M'Kar commanded Honsou to destroy the Tomb of Ventanus and his wargear.{{fn|2d}} Finding the tomb had suffered only minimal damage since then, Honsou investigated Ventanus's sarcophagus and discovered the Shard of Erebus, and realized that M'kar was afraid of it.{{Fn|2b}} Ventris's Ultramarines and Honsou's Iron Warriors would have a reckoning in the tomb, and Ventris discovered that Honsou had destroyed Ventanus's remains. But while Space Marines hold that "Only in death does duty end", both loyalist and traitor Marine alike discovered that even death had not stopped Ventanus, as his ghost and what spirit appeared to be among the [[Legion of the Damned]] soon arrived , and turned the tide against the Iron Warriors. The specter When Ventanus took to the fight, his armour was starting to blacken to match the Legion of the Damned, although still with faint but recognizable symbols of his legion as well as his emerald-green cloak of Ventanus himself office and wielding a golden bolter. He would save Ventris from Honsou, then press the Shard of Erebus into Ventris's hand, and told him M'Kar's [[true name]]: Maloq Kartho. Upon accepting both the Shard and the knowledge, Ventris felt a potent sense discharged from specter, and when Ventris next looked, Remus Ventanus and the Legion of the Damned had disappeared, his duty finally completed.{{Fn|2f}} Using the knowledge, Ventris was able to save [[Chapter Master]] [[Marneus Augustus Calgar]] from being killed by M'Kar, and tossed the Shard to his Chapter Master, allowing Calgar to finish what Ventanus had started ten thousand years ago and finally kill Maloq Kartho in a [[True Death]].{{Fn|2a}}
