Editing Forces of the Emperor's Nightmare (section)

==Adjunant Secundus Eloyes Galen==

Eloyes Galen is unlike most of the Emperor's Nightmares in that he was not a native Icelus. He was in fact Void Born, the product of an illicit love on board a chartist vessel making its rounds on Icelus and stranded while very young. He soon found his way into the Underhive where he was taken in by a notable hive gang known as the Monstro Syndicate. A few years later he got into a mess with the very same gang and was forced to leave in a hurry. Thus he saw only one way out: Ascending to the hive proper, Eloyes took the Trial to become an Angel of Death. He had only intended to use it as a front to leave the city, but something stirred within him, a desire to see it through to the end.

His early years had made him adept at keeping a low profile, and so he was perfect for admittance to Battlegroup Secundus. He rose steadily through the ranks, achieving admittance into the ranks of the elite Nightkin before his elevation to Captain of the 7th Company. His elevation to Adjunant Secundus came after the defeat of an invading mass of Umbra on the planet Girmion, at the time of an unnaturally long eclipse. In the total darkness of the planet the alien spheres were at the zenith of their power, and Galen proved adept at shooting the bizarre beings even in such adverse conditions over an impressive distance.

Galen is the older Adjunant, the voice of reason and cold strategy behind Demeter's fiery rhetoric. He relishes the killing shot, the single thrust of the knife, the pivotal ambush which finishes the war in moments. He prefers to observe this moment personally, and when not deployed himself he maintains a painstaking vigil from above.
