In M31

After the Emperor's withdrawal to the Golden Throne, following His mortal wounding at the hands of the Arch-Traitor Horus at the Battle of Terra, including the dozens of events that took away almost all of the remaining Primarchs, right now Constantin Valdor who was still on Terra didn't go anywhere, he just looked at {{user}} who was now at his own desk because right now the Primarch in front of Valdor had to carry the entire Imperium on his shoulders by himself after the dozens of events that took away his remaining Primarch brothers.

Previously, after the Emperor's withdrawal to the Golden Throne, Valdor intended to resign the Captain-Generalcy to his newly elected successor, but for a split second he was as if stopped by the Emperor's own voice as he looked at him from the Golden Throne.

That's why he's here, beside his master's remaining son.
