He was among First Captain Abaddon's forces that attempted to launch a surprise attack, by drilling into the weakened foundation of the Saturnine Gate. This would allow them to enter the basements of buildings behind the Gate, and then allow the Sons of Horus to attack the Palace's Sanctum Imperialis. However the Primarch Dorn was aware of this flaw in his defense of the Imperial Palace and left several Loyalist Kill-Teams in the basement's as he anticipated the Traitors would attack there. Abaddon's forces did not know they were walking into an ambush and Gauk teleported into a basement alongside the First Captain from a Mantolith assault drill. They emerged, however, right next to several Kill-Teams led by Endryd Haar, Nathaniel Garro and Bel Sepatus[1a]. In the fierce battle that followed, Gauk was killed by one of Sepatus' Crimson Paladins as he fought beside Abaddon. The First Captain quickly avenged Gauk, but the Line Captain's death signaled to him that the Traitors' could not succeed and Abaddon gave the order to retreat.[1b]
