Editing Life Bringers (section)

==Captain Ewen Jolyon==

Called Captain Jolly by his men, and the Mind-Breaker of Delgado by the Imperium, Ewen Jolyon is a disturbing creature who delights in his twisted psychological experimentation. His round cheeks and nose, along with a weak chin, give the impression of a melting man. He was a dedicated psychological researcher under Edentis Pneuren, along with others who would come to become the Apothecarion of the Life Bringers, during their time as the Brothers of Death. Ewen's soft nature left him ill-suited to combat, unlike his superior who distinguished himself as a battlefield apothecary, and outright avoided the areas of heavy fighting that the Brothers of Death tended to find themselves in. When Johannes Vrach was found, Jolyon breathed a sigh of relief as the legion grew calmer and more medically focused.

Edentis Pneuren was given approval to create the office of the Apothecarion alongside those of the Genetory and the Biochemical Arms offices, and Jolyon received his own subdivision for psychiatric research. The primarch himself commended the strides that Jolyon made on hypno-conditioning and mental fortifications. The services provided by the office to the marines of the 12th legion led to an increase in overall effectiveness and morale. It's successes were so profound that even some other legions adopted various practices from the Life Bringers, though detractors and conservatives questioned too much toying with the minds of marines. Jolyon had friends throughout his legion, his lack of battlefield accolades swept under the rug in the new order. He even earned the friendship of Wilmut Sachs, the pair often enjoying long discussions about whether nature or nurture governed the nature of man more profoundly. In time, Jolyon attracted attention from the Emperor's own eye.

The Emperor took it upon himself to follow up to the concerns of some of his sons and audit the structure of the Life Bringers' Genetory and Apothecarion, ensuring that the offices were not prying too deeply into his own work. While the master of mankind praised certain aspects of the offices, such as the impeccable gene-stock and the highly advanced cures and treatments they had developed, he harshly criticized the experiments of some Genetors and Apothecaries. Jolyon's office was one of the first in the firing line, as bizarre and somewhat dangerous experiments on altering the minds of marines came to light. Harsh sanctions were placed on the office of psychiatric research, along with the genetory as a whole. Jolyon soon found himself out of favor with Pneuren and some of the more old-styled of his legion, but Johannes Vrach himself interceded on his behalf and Jolyon was permitted to continue his research in secret.

As Wilmut Sachs influence spread, Jolyon threw in his lot with the traitors, and he was allowed an even greater degree of freedom in his experimentation than ever before. As the influence of the new movement spread throughout the legion, overly vocal dissenters would be invited to speak with Captain Jolly. Their voices were heard only rarely after, and their jingoistic affirmations for the new order were enough to silence those who still dared to speak. Jolyon has since put his art to work on many, his mass experiment on the planet Gunaya led to the suicide of an entire civilized world and the incident at Delgado is sealed under tightest imperial records. 

Captain Jolly has undergone the Plague Marine process of the Life Bringers completely, his bloated and distended stomach is larger than most and threatens to burst with each horrific laugh from its owner. The twisted captain gleefully runs throughout the battlefield, testing out new sonic controllers and mind eraser gasses, turning the most potent foe into a dribbling catatonic child or a deranged madman who is no longer capable of distinguishing friend from foe. Delgado rarely leads armies on his own, preferring to rule through controlling another warlord. One of his more ambitious endeavors has seen him revealed as controlling a large force of Imperial Guard through the mind controlled Commissar Janero.
