Editing Spores of Madness (section)

=== Captain Boil Beard ===
'Captain' Boil Beard is the Chaos Champion and leader of the Spores of Madness. He has lead the Piratical Warband for nearly two Millenia, ever since shortly after their escape from the Imperial Inquisition. Originally Veteran Sergeant Florent Yierik, he was one of the 8 or so Veteran Sergeants who survived the flight from their fortress monastery. Originally, the renegade Sergeants worked together in a sort of council following the death of the First company captain in the escape. Together they decided the nearest area of the galaxy where they could hide was within the confines of the Ghoul Stars. 

About a decade into their voyage, Florent began to feel the ever present fear of his own mortality, confronting the fact that like the rest of his chapter he may soon face death. These thoughts haunted the veteran for a long stretch throughtout the Ghoul Stars, until a voice gave him a way out. It may be Florrent had latent psyker abilities awakened by the proximity of the supernatural xenos within the Ghoul Stars, or perhaps he was just lucky, either way he heard a kind and fatherly voice in his dreams telling him the true secret to everlasting life, everlasting stagnancy. Florent took these lessons to heart, and followed the directions of his new, and mysterious patron.

It revealed to him that one of the ships captured from the inquisiton in their flight carried a very rare and unique payload, virus bombs. With his own squad as his first followers, Florent secretly moved over half the payload onto the Company's Battle Barge, and spreading his new teachings to others in the company, even a few of the other sergeants. In the end, the new faithful and those who would not heed him were gathered together, ostensibly to celebrate their survival as a company. At this gathering, with all in attendance, Florent unleashed the virus bombs.

It was found that those that had resisted him, and held to their own beleiefs, were killed by the voracious plauge within the bombs as it rotted through their armor and flesh, destroying them utterly. But, Florent and his faithful, a full two thirds of the company, did not die. Instead, the symptoms of the plauge did not kill them, but only strengthened them. As the smoke cleared, Florent took for himself a new name, and christened his new warband 'The Spores of Madness', and the rest is history. 

He raided and pillaged and plauged the Ghoul stars and other nearby sectors, becoming a major threat to the Death Spectres and their mission. 

Recently, Captain Boil Beard has gone through a drastic few changes in his faith. After the false and incomplete information and augurys that lead to the Cywren incident, he lost faith in his Sorcerer's abilities to predict future events. He became obsessed with divination, future telling, any way to gain an informational edge. And so it was that when he came across the Belle Dame he believed Papa Nurgle had sent him an answer. Trusting in her womb far more than his sorcerer's, Captain Boil Beard has a strange and some would say... unhealthy infatuation with the Belle Dame. Thoug he still revels with his mates and plunders with his crew it has become a normal occurence to find him in the Belle Dame's chamber speaking with her, praying before her, and sometimes simply staring into her ever changing womb, watching the currents and edies within. He believes that one day, some year soon, the Belle Dame will give birth, birth to the one true son of Nurgle. It is his belief that Papa Nurgle has deemed him worthy to protect and raise his son, a prospect that excites the Captain to no end. Though unlike several other Spores he has never seen the child, he claims it is a test of his devotion to the Belle Dame and Papa Nurgle.
