A Garviel Loken A Space Marine A Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus/Black Legion (XVI Legion) A Captain, Tenth Company Garviel Loken was a major character in the opening stages of the Horus Heresy. He was captain of the tenth company of the Luna Wolves Space Marines. He joined the Mournival, Horus' select group of his closest advisers. Horus commented that Loken was "a precise and accurate thinker," and he is portrayed as having one of the most analytical and perceptive minds of the Legion. He anticipated the betrayal and strife that ultimately results in a way none of the other Sons of Horus ever do. In Horus Rising he is described by other Luna Wolves as "straight up and down," referring to his strong principles and lack of humour. At the beginning of False Gods, there is some mention of Loken's ample ability to tell a story, but little is made of this gift later in the series.

Loken developed close relationships with civilian members of the 63rd Expedition Fleet of the Great Crusade. He thought of Kyril Sindermann as his mentor and was the first to take on a remembrancer as his personal documentarist. He was plagued with guilt following the massacre on the embarkation deck and his sympathies toward non-Astartes drives a wedge in his relationship with Abaddon, Aximand, and Horus himself. During the events on the planet Istvaan III detailed in Galaxy In Flames, Loken, Torgaddon, and Tarvitz took command of the loyalists. Their traitor Mournival brothers, Ezekyle Abaddon and Little Horus Aximand, landed on Istvaan to kill Loken and Torgaddon. In the following fight, Torgaddon was killed, but the building in which Loken was fighting Abaddon was crushed by the Dies Irae, an Imperator-class Titan. Loken was badly wounded, but despite his injuries, he survived and was later retrieved from Istvaan III by Captain Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard, who was in service of Malcador the Sigillite.

A Mir Amindaza A Space Marine A Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus/Black Legion (XVI Legion) A Battle-Brother, Tithonus Assault Squad, Fifth Company Mir Amindaza appears in Age of Darkness fighting alongside Captain Aximand as part of the Sons of Horus contingent on the planet Dwell. He is killed by Captain Bion Henricos of the Iron Hands.
A Gravius A Space Marine A Salamanders (XVIII Legion) A Battle-Brother (rank unknown) Gravius is briefly mentioned in Age of Darkness as being with Captain Heka'tan on Isstvan V. Whether he perishes there or escapes is unknown.
