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 ina constant manner, resulting in them to have a sorrowful look.  Of course only a ignorant fool would think ofthem as whiny or mentally and emotionally unstable, for there is no evidence that the mutation causes this kind of drawbacks.

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

Despite being a 21st founding Chapter, the Mourning Sons were spared the ill fates that most Chapters of this founding experienced. Strangely, their creation is tied to the destruction of the planet of Innaculaba. 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 ina constant manner, resulting in them to have a sorrowful look. Of course only a ignorant fool would think ofthem 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.

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.
