===The Heresy===

At the outset of the Heresy, the Eyes were scattered across the Galaxy.  Shakya Vardhana and his Disciples arrived on the moon '''Malluma''', where they had been dispatched at the orders of the Warmaster Hektor Cincinnatus.  Contrary to the intelligence provided to them, the Eyes of the Emperor encountered no [[Orks (Hektor Heresy)|Orks]] on Malluma.  They faced a far more dangerous foe, as the treacherous Warmaster had sent them into a deadly trap - a daemon world, ruled by the ''Shadow in Time'', a powerful child of Tzeentch.  The daemon separated Shakya Vardhana from his bodyguard and attempted to win him as the chosen of the Changer of Ways, but the Primarch remained true to the Emperor.  In the fight that ensued, the sacrifice of many Space Marines banished the Shadow in Time.  Although the Vardhana and the Disciples suffered greatly on Malluma, they emerged resolute and certain that their hour had arrived.  The fleet regrouped and made haste towards the Segmentum Solar.

Behind the Vardhana's back, the Council of Nine and their descendants in the ''Acharya'' had led the centre of the Nineteenth into alliance with the traitor "War Council" of Hektor Cincinnatus.  The Expeditionary Fleets were redirected to begin operations in the Galactic North, seizing critical resources for the rebellion.  If the ordinary ''Satria'' and ''Wesias'' Battle Brothers were confused by these orders, they were long accustomed to following the dictates of the ''Acharya''.  Only '''Phirun Soun''', former Chief Librarian of the Legion and the missing Master of the Council was aware of the true threat.  He sensed the Mark of Chaos on the most debased of Hektor's allies and did not hesitate to act.  Phirun seized the Warp Runner ''Devotion of Illobian'' and fled towards the Galactic South, trusting in fate to bear him safe to the Vardhana.  Despite the convulsions of the Warp triggered by the onslaught of the Ruinous Powers, ''Devotion of Illobian'' sailed swift and sure.  Soun's vessel broke Warp in the outer reaches of the Tramezzino system, far in the south of the Segmentum Solar.  To the horror of the ship's company, warships broadcasting Nineteenth Legion identification codes were present.  The only man on ''Devotion of Illobian'' to greet the news calmly was Phirun Soun, for he already knew what the ship's technicians would soon discover - the ships were led by ''Virtue of Patience'' under the command of Shakya Vardhana.

Using the intelligence delivered to him by Phirun Soun, the Primarch led a battle for the soul of the Legion.  The Loyalist Eyes shadowed the movements of their brothers still obedient to the Council of Nine, bringing the truth to the ordinary Battle Brothers and gradually breaking the control of the ''Acharya'' caste.  This effort was entwined with a series of strikes on Traitor supply depots in the Segmentum Solar, a key contribution to the defence of Sol in the early stages of the Hektor Heresy.
