In 259 CE, Vultur traveled to Lugdunum to meet with his old friend Lucius, who was secretly an Assassin. Lucius' son Aquilus arrived during Vultur's visit, with the Ankh concealed on his person. The next day, Aquilus left and Vultur interrogated Lucius, asking him about the artifact. In the process, he killed Lucius and fatally wounded his servant Weke, who chased after Vultur, but managed to retrieve the Ankh.
