Editing Barabas Dantioch (section)

===The Pharos===
Later, during the events of the Horus Heresy novels "Unremembered Empire" and "Pharos", Dantioch set up shop in the [[Imperium Secundus]]. He pledged his loyalty to [[Roboute Guilliman|Bobby McGuillicutty]]. He was assigned to get the ancient xenos (Necron) facility called the "Pharos" operational, to be used as the [[Astronomicon]] Mark 2, on the planet Sotha. Besides using it to help coordinate Secundas' communications and travel, he used it to great effect to rescue Lion El Jonson and Guilliman from a trap laid by Konrad Curze.

However, eventually the facility came under the Night Lords' attack. With the Night Lord's leader managing to reach the Pharos's control center and Dantioch. Taking Dantioch's bestie (Alexus Polux) hostage, the Night Lords claimed victory and ordered Dantioch to use the Pharos to their advantage. However, the Night Lords forgot one VERY important thing: Dantioch is an '''Iron Warrior'''. At first leading the Night Lords into a false sense of security by faking compliance, he decided to fall back on the Iron Warriors' tried-and-true method of "if we can't win, ''obliterate'' '''''everything'''''!". Before the Night Lords could react, Dantioch started pushing the interstellar beacon into maximum overdrive, in an attempt to kill the Night Lords, even if it meant his own death as well. Using the empathic powers of the facility to channel the cold, bitter, hatred and spite in his very blood, Dantioch ''WILLED'' it to kill them with every fiber of his being. This pulled the Night Lords into its gravity-well like portal, smashing most of them into a massive ball of meat and metal, then throwing said ball and the surviving few Night Lords back to their flagship. However, this also sent an ungodly amount of energy through the Pharos's control systems (which exploded) and Dantioch himself. After it was over Dantioch had just enough life left to enjoy his victory and to tell Polux his goodbyes before finally dying.

For his sacrifice, Dantioch was named a "'''''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM'''''" by Rowboat himself, who also gave Dantioch's remaining [[Silver Skulls|loyalist Iron Warriors]] sanctuary in Ultramar. A distraught Polux for his part did his late brother-in-arms one final honour, bearing Dantioch's funeral bier alone, as this was the second time he had lost a brother-figure dear to him (the first being the death of his biological brother Helias Polux). Dantioch's mask was placed near the top of the Pharos as a memorial to his service.
