The Voice was/is [almost certainly] Cypher.
'999.M41 The Voice Silenced
Although Cypher seems to be supporting the 13th Black Crusade, this is perhaps only a
pretence. Certainly there have been uprisings in the Agripinaa Sector and even upon Piscina
IV, however this has had a polarising effect. It has done as much to rally the faithful as it has
stirred rebellion. Cypher has a minor conflict with Abaddon, and their alliance of convenience
is brought to an end. The Dark Angels trace the source of the comms-signals to a
broadcasting device in deep space. Although difficult to measure with precision, it is
estimated that its location amidst the dust-ridden clouds of debris would approximate where
their home world of Caliban once was. The beacon is swiftly and unceremoniously destroyed.'

'CYPHER
The mysterious leader of me Fallen. Cypher has been hunted by the Dark Angels ana their successor chapters for ten thousand years. Though it is not known whether Cypher was encountered directly during the war, unconfirmed reports suggest trial the chapter's Interrogator-Chaplains captured as many as eight Fallen during the battles around the Caliban system, more than have been captured in such a short period in many thousands of years. Further reports link Cypher to the mysterious Voice Of the Emperor, who, it is rumoured, was captured by the Dark Angels during the fighting, but whose cell was found empty upon the prison ships' return to the Tower of Angels'.
