A chapter in the service of The Emperor, the Mourning Sons are loyal Imperial Space Marines that are a dreaded enemy to all that is or is connected to Chaos. Also known to be very protective of civilians and share many similarities with the Salamanders, who in turn are on good terms with the Mourning Sons as much as the Adeptus Mechanicus.
The Chapter Itself[edit]
Despite being a 21st founding Chapter, the Mourning Sons were spared the ill fates that most Chapters of this founding experienced. While most suffered horrid mutations, bad luck, Inquisition approved campaigns of extermination or turned themselves to worship the Dark Gods of Chaos, the Mourning Sons found themselves among those who were lucky enough to simply gain a minor mutation.
This mutation is that of the Occulobe, and even then it’s unique to the Chapter, for it is from it that the Mourning Sons got their name. The Occulobe functions in a way that requires the marines to produce more moisture in order to make it function optimally. The drawback of it is that the marines are seen literally weeping in a constant manner, resulting in them to have a sorrowful look. Of course only a ignorant fool would think of them as whiny or mentally and emotionally unstable, for there is no evidence that the mutation causes this kind of drawbacks.
On the other hand, this mutation also makes the marine’s Occulobe work in a abnormal fashion,allowing the Mourning Sons to see their surroundings in a way not achievable by marines with normally functioning ones. The Scouts and fully fledged Battle Brothers can perfectly read the body language of any being they are looking at, while the more senior members can quickly adapt to any tactics used by the enemy the chapter is currently fighting. In the case of the Chaplains however, it is said that the mutation gives them the ability to look into the souls of living beings in order to determine their true nature. This is actually linked to their legendary figure by the name of Chaplain Jeremiah that was first to have this unique mutation to appear. With this, the marines are considered somewhat living lie detectors. The Librarians of theirs are even more potent, since with combining both the mutation and their powers, they are considered to be of irreplaceable use as interrogators.
The mutation however doesn’t work well with Dreadnoughts, since the brothers encased inside the sarcophagus are virtually blind and must always be accompanied by two Scouts that are their eyes.
Strangely, their creation is tied to the destruction of the planet of Innaculaba. The Chapter fought there ferociously in order to protect the planet from Chaos incursions that were ignited by Alpha Legionnaires HERESY!!! No such Chaos Legion exists.*BLAM*...Chaos Forces. The planet was devastated and the Chaos Marines disappeared. This left the Sons with a deep ire towards the Chaos Marines, causing them to hunt their arch-nemesis whenever they hear any rumour about a coming Chaos incursion.

The brothers soon discovered that this was incredibly useful when fighting the manipulatory forces of Tzeentch followers, leaving none of the schemers to mount a proper counter-tactic because of the adaptability the Mourning Sons gained thanks to their mutation.

Chapter Organization, known Alliances and Enemies/Hostile relationships[edit]
Organization[edit]
The Chapter is organized in a similar fashion as any other Codex Chapter, yet deviates in some specific points. Each of the companies, apart from functioning in the same or different fashion as other Codex based companies, also specialize in more specific tasks.
Furthermore,the Chaplains also act as Captains and Company Masters, and the current Chapter Master is also a member of the Chapter’s Sanctity. Despite this, the roles ofboth Chapter Master and Master of Sanctity are divided between two of the most senior members of the Sanctity.

Alliances[edit]
Salamanders
The two chapters fought alongside each other multiple times. Each time they would always put the safety of civilians as priority. Thanks to this, both Space Marine Chapters share a strong relationship.
Adeptus Mechanicus
The Mourning Sons, being a fleet based chapter with a large amount of ships, have strong relationships with the scions of Mars. Justified, since the fleet needs resupplying, and with the amount of ships the chapter has, often contacts with the Tech-Priests is required.
The Chapter maintains a large fleet thanks to their contacts with the Adeptus Mechanicus. Apart of having a variety of Astartes-grade military vessels, the Mourning Sons have among them fabrication vessels and ships designed to contain refugees from planets they evacuated.
Enemies and Hostile relationships[edit]
Chaos and the Alpha Legion*BLAM* HERESY!!! No such Chaos Legion exists!! How many times I'm going to have to execute people for spreading this!?
The Alpha Legion is believed to be responsible for Innaculaba's devastation and the Sons target them and other Chaos Forces. Thanks to their mutation and abilities, the marines are capable of identifying those in league with Chaos. Incredibly useful when fighting Tzeentchian followers.
Inquisition
The Mourning Sons, due to being of the 21st founding, are suspected by some in the Imperium. The Inquisition is one of those organizations.
Due to their origin, they are distrusted by them. Partially because of their mutation, and partially because of the Innaculaba incident. Not to mention that one of the previous Chapter Masters slew a Inquisitor, though it was proven by the Chapter that the aforementioned Inquisitor was in league with Chaos Forces that were responsible for a system-wide Chaos incursion.
