	These unfortunates, tortured by the incessant wakefulness, start to feel their sanity ~~frey~~.

Unfortunately, even Space Marines cannot endure without rest forever, and sooner or later the Sleepless will lose their grip on reality, attacking even their own chapter in misguided fury.		These unfortunates, tortured by the incessant wakefulness, start to feel their sanity fray.

Unfortunately, even Space Marines cannot endure without rest forever, and sooner or later the Sleepless will lose their grip on reality, attacking even their own chapter in misguided fury.

	Looking after and restraining the Sleepless is the province of the Apothecarion, who maintain a vast hold within the chapter keep where these maniacs are kept. Most Nightmares who realize the symptoms immediately turn themselves in, while others hold out in desperate hope for rest. Once Sleeplessness has been confirmed funerary rites are held for the Nightmare, their dreamcatcher ceremonially cut, and their name stricken from chapter records.

	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 ~~ellicit~~ 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.

Isidore Demeter is the Dawn embodied, the shining embodiment of the fury of his chapter. It is he who holds the vaunted position of Adjunant Primus, commanding the loyalty of the 2nd through 5th companies which can only be matched by their devotion to their slumbering Chapter Master.

	Demeter hailed from Hive Secundus, growing up amidst the scream of star engines and the roaring of VTOL turbines which he grew to love. When he was inducted into Battlegroup Primus he was found to be a talented Assault Marine, his fury unmatched by his fellows. This was not always a good thing, he paid for his hubris on many occasions but always managed to escape the jaws of death. In time most of it was beaten out of him, replaced by a keen instinct for when and where best to apply this fury. It was this which led to him becoming Captain of the 2nd company.

	Since then Thureos has been the Chapter's hunter, arriving on battlefields after years of stalking, to destroy the enemies of man...including the Nightmares themselves. Such is Thureos' reputation that many Nightmares will open fire on him as opposed to their original enemy. This does not help however, as Thureos' centuries of sleeplessness have turned him into a freakishly fast engine of destruction, able to move within his stolen Terminator armour with the grace of a gymnast and send his chainfist sawing through men and tanks before they can raise a hand to defend themselves. This is the epitome of the Nightmare's curse, and it is the life goal of one Chief Apothecary Eidelan to bring the former hero of the Chapter back to where he belongs.

			==August Dreamwalkers in Iron==

			The August Dreamwalkers in Iron occupy a special place within the Librarium and indeed within the Chapter. Like all dreadnoughts August Dreamwalkers in Iron consist of truly heroic marines, in this case librarians, who have been placed within an adamantine sarcophagus so that they may continue their service to the Nightmares.

			The August Dreamwalkers are truly ancient beings, most of which were entombed near the beginning of the Chapter's History, and are woken up only in truly dire circumstances. Without the intervention of the Techmarines the Dreamwalkers in Iron are known to sleep for centuries undisturbed, though on occasion they have been known to rouse themselves and join an auspicious battle.

			To fight a Dreamwalker in Iron is to fight a metal behemoth who controls the roiling powers of the warp itself. These psychic dreadnoughts have been known to throw tides of lightning from their elaborately engraved sarcophagi, swathe their advancing comrades in inky blackness and infuse their enemies' senses with their darkest fears. Many an enemy of man has found themselves crushed beneath the iron fists of these ancient guardians of the chapter.

	Valter Fervesco has his mechadendrites in almost every part of the Emperor's Nightmares.

He manipulates The Wake by carefully tracking their sleep patterns, bringing up motions in council only when he knows those who would oppose his ideas are asleep, and their second-in-commands, who favor Valter a great deal more, are substituting for them.

			==Thureos==

			Thureos. The very mention of that name alone will bring out a whole host of reactions within the Emperor's Nightmares.Thureos was once a captain, one of the most gifted and able men ever to pass through the doors of Betten-Burgen. A formidable fighter and leader, it was soon acertained the Nightmares had a man of remarkable talent on their hands. Thureos was responsible for a host of victories, often triumphing over odds even a Space Marine would baulk at. His companionship was treasured amongst the chapter and it was common knowledge he was next in line for Adjunanthood.

			But this was not to be. Soon Thureos found himself remaining awake for longer and longer, unable to find the rest he so craved. Thureos denied his affliction for the longest of times, claiming that sleep was nearly upon him, he could feel it reaching out to him, it would be only a few hours, days, now. Eventually he could deny his curse no longer, and a day of mourning was held in Battern-burgen as the beloved Captain surrendered himself to the Apothecarion.

			At first the newly-Sleepless Thureos was unobstructive and humble, striking up friendships with his fellows who had not yet slipped into unreason. His firm friendship with the young Apothecary Eidelan was noted as particularly strong.

			However, the curse of Thureos' geneseed could not be denied for long. Soon the former Captain had become a manic, paranoid loner, under constant restraint for his protection and that of his Chapter. The only man who could even elicit a response other than silent, hateful glares was Eidelan, who saw it as his personal duty to keep Thureos under control.

			Then it happened. Thureos managed to escape from the Apothecarion's clutches for a final time and escaped. To the Chapter's horror the Sleepless took something with him upon his departure: The 46th suit of Tactical Dreadnought Armour.

			A desperate planet-wide manhunt was quickly arranged but Thureos had already escaped upon the Lucidity, who was bringing reinforcements to a world ravaged by the green menace. The new Thureos made his mark here, tearing the Warboss and his entourage of mega armoured nobz to bloody shreds before turning on the cheering NIghtmares. When the bulk of the Nightmare forces arrived they were greeted by a charnel scene, ork and marine body alike piled into a bizarre frame within of which splinters of purple and yellow ceramite were carefully placed into the Owlglass symbol.

			Since then Thureos has been the Chapter's hunter, arriving on battlefields after years of stalking, to destroy the enemies of man...including the Nightmares themselves. Such is Thureos' reputation that many Nightmares will open fire on him as opposed to their original enemy. This does not help however, as Thureos' centuries of sleeplessness have turned him into a freakishly fast engine of destruction, able to move within his stolen Terminator armour with the grace of a gymnast and send his chainfist sawing through men and tanks before they can raise a hand to defend themselves. This is the epitome of the Nightmare's curse, and it is the life goal of one Chief Apothecary Eidelan to bring the former hero of the Chapter back to where he belongs.

	The signature weapon of the Nightkin is the Sniper Rifle, often fitted with complex scopes and rangefinders to augment the already obsessive marksmanship of each marine. Darkfire rounds are standard issue for the Nightkin, and even poisonous Hellfire rounds are seen chambered within the weaponry of Secundus' finest. Secundus occasionally deploy with long-bladed combat knives, usually for indoor infiltration or similar close-contact assignments. In addition the Nightkin can requisition the required tools for their task, from missile launchers to crackling power weapons. These weapons are given gladly by the armoury, such is the reputation of these black-swathed assassins.

			Nightkin practise a bizarre habit of removing the pauldrons of their power armour, the reduced weight and added flexibility their removal grants a boon to them. They are also sheathed in camo-cloaks to further tip the balance in their favour. Often the last thing the enemy sees is the cape whooshing into their vision before feeling the kiss of a combat knife in the gullet.

	Battlegroup Secundus Operatives are given even more grinding training, honing their talents of stealth and marksmanship until they can remain undetected even in power armour. If a situation cannot be handled efficiently through sheer force of arms, if the enemies of Man are dug in too deep, or fanatically inspired by some mad demagogue, The Dusk is brought in. Like all of the Nightmare the Secundus Operatives are able to employ a variety of weaponry to accomplish their task, but their signature weapon is a black-swathed sniper rifle. Punishing fusilades of these scoped weapons come from unexpected angles, cutting down their targets before they were aware they were under attack.

			==Secundus Nightkin==

			Looking at the power armoured bulk of a Space Marine it would seem impossible for such a behemoth to become a master of stealth, and yet the Nightkin stand in stark testiment to the competence of the famed Battlegroup Secundus. Nightkin are the most gifted and ruthless of the Dusk, a hard core of infiltrators and assassins at the heart of the violet companies. Each Nightkin must have proved themselves in situations without count to have an unshakeable calm in the middle of battle, able to stalk their foes without pause and to deliver the killing blow in the most fitting manner before extracting unscathed.

			Nightkin are seen as the executioners of the chapter, the marines dispatched when something absolutely has to die. It is obvious that a captain is worried about a situation if he requests for a Nightkin deployment. Nightkin are also a popular choice for accompanyment by Secundus captains, many of whom will have been a Nightkin at some point.
