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 Ekosa emerged into a basement with his squadron under the command of Captain Tybalt Marr. Garviel Loken's Kill-Team lay in wait and Ekosa was the first to be killed by the Loyalists. Seconds later the Cthonae Reaver Squad, pride of the 18th Company, was rendered extinct and Marr was the last to fall.[1]
