Noise Marines - Notable Noise Marines: Marius Vairosean - Marius Vairosean was once the Third Captain of the Emperor's Children Legion during the latter days of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy in the late 30th and early 31st Millennium. He was present during many of the most infamous campaigns of the Heresy, including the Istvaan III Atrocity and the Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V. Marius' own quest for perfection would lead him and his entire Legion along the foul path of Chaotic corruption. Due to the influence of Slaanesh and the hideous ministrations of the Apothecary Fabius Bile, Vairosean was soon consumed by the corruption of Slaanesh and became one of the very first Noise Marines in service to the Prince of Pleasure. He eventually became the leader of the Kakophoni, the Noise Marines unit that formed within the Traitor Emperor's Children Legion after their fall to Chaos. During the joint expedition undertaken by both the Emperor's Children and the Iron WarriorsLegion into the Eye of Terror to seek out the forbidden xenos weapon known as the Angel Exterminatus, Vairosean was killed by the Drop Site Massacre survivor Ignatius Numen, an Iron Hands Morlock.Emmesh-Aiye - A powerful Noise Marine and warlord of the Emperor's Children, Emmesh-Aiye was not a veteran of the Long War, or a member of the original Legiones Astartes. He could no longer recall his origin. Nevertheless, he was a notorious raider and degenerate architect of perversity and excess. He continuously subjected himself to both nerve toxins and high-pitched noises in order to elicit some kind of stimulation from his heightened senses. Emmesh-Aiye kept a retinue of mutilated and terrified slaves, which he had personally broken and turned into fanatical bodyguards. Like many of his fellow Emperor's Children, he continuously modified and mutilated his appearance. Sometime in the 41st Millenniu, Emmesh-Aiye was one of many Chaos Lords invited by the Warsmith Chengrel of the Iron Warriors to bid upon a rare collection of Eldar Spirit Stones, by recounting to him a tale of destruction. After listening to the various tales, Chengrel flew into a rage when he found out that none of his guests were members of the original Legions. This resulted in a free-for-all, and the Chaos Lords all began to fight amongst themselves. After he slayed the Chaos Lord Hodir, a Night Lords warrior, for possession of the stone, Emmesh-Aiye faced Khrove, a Chaos Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons. The sorcerer was able to use his powerful arcane abilities, and turned the ground that Emmesh-Aiye and his slave-warriors stood upon, into a bottomless pit of quicksand-like metal liquid. Emmesh-Aiye and his retinue sunk into the hole and died.Rapturous Voice - There are stories of notorious champions of the Emperor's Children who continue to cause havoc within the Screaming Vortex, the great Warp Storm that separates the Calixis Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus from the Koronus Expanse. The reviled Rapturous Voice, a Noise Marine whose inconceivable melodies issue from a massive vox inset between grotesquely distended jaws and ornate pipes that envelop his extravagant armour, has become especially infamous in recent centuries. His discordant harmonies inspire ecstasy, terror, pain and a host of other intense and conflicting emotions, and are unbearably disturbing, yet strangely enthralling, to all who hear them. This intoxicating quality ensnares unwitting listeners, who become his willing slaves and excitedly engage in their erratic master's depraved whims so they may delight in his hypnotic croons. The influence of the Voice has insidiously spread throughout the Vortex, and many powerful Noise Marines and formidable warlords have heeded his dulcet notes and pledged their heretical souls to his every desire. In combat, these units fight in a euphoric daze, oblivious to the horrors of battle and their own safety as their master's heady music urges them ever onwards towards rapturous annihilation.Volupus - Volupus is a notorious son of Chemos who opts for the use of close weapons exclusively, enjoying the buzz of the Chainsword and its shrill scream as it grates upon bone or armour. Volupus went off to form his own warband -- the Flickering Blades. These warriors stride into combat wielding lithe swords that sing a song of death with every swing. From out of their twisted armour stretches numerous writhing tongues, each mutant maw licking its lips in lewd anticipation of the blood-splattering of close combat.
