Changes

'''Julius Kaesoron''', the '''Favoured Son''' of [[Fulgrim]]{{Fn|4a}} was the [[First Captain]] of the [[Emperor's Children]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]].{{citethisfn|1a}}

Julius Kaesoron was born on [[Chemos]].{{Fn|1a}} An avid admirer of the arts, Kaesoron often read poetry (particularly cantos by the late [[Ignace Karkasy]], who had accompanied the [[63rd Expeditionary Fleet]]) and attended music recitals onboard the ''[[Pride of the Emperor]]'', the flagship of the Emperor's Children and the [[28th Expeditionary Fleet]].{{Cite thisfn|1b}}

During the [[Cleansing of Laeran|Cleansing]] of [[Laeran]], Kaesoron accompanied his Primarch [[Fulgrim]] during an attack on a Laer temple. Kaesoron - like many who entered the temple both during and after the battle - became enraptured by the sights and sounds that permeated the place, so much so that he continuously sought out ways to stimulate his senses both on and off the battlefield. With Fulgrim's possession by a Daemon of [[Slaanesh]], the Emperor's Children descended from a Legion that sought perfection to one that sought to satisfy their hedonistic pleasures - a stance that Kaesoron was more than willing to go with. Over time Kaesoron became obsessed with the works of [[Wikipedia: William Blake|Cornelius Blayke]], which facilitated his fall into excess.{{Fn|1a1c}}

Just before the Battle of [[Isstvan III]], Kaesoron accompanied Fulgrim to rendezvous with [[Ferrus Manus]], in an attempt to sway the [[Iron Hands]] Primarch to rally to [[Horus]]' banner. When Ferrus Manus refused and was attacked (but not killed) by Fulgrim, Kaesoron struck out against his Iron Hands counterpart, [[Gabriel Santar]], very nearly killing him with his lightning claws.{{Cite thisfn|1d}}

In the lull period between Isstvan III and the [[Drop Site Massacre]], Kaesoron and the Legion attended the opening of the ''Maraviglia'', a concert composed by [[remembrancer]] [[Bequa Kynska]] and based on the music heard in the Laer temple. The resultant symphony (which degenerated into an orgy of deviant sex and mindless killing) enthralled Kaesoron and his fellows, fuelling their desire for sensual stimulation, just before things came to a head at the Drop Site Massacre. {{fn|1e}} Screaming like a madman and leaping nimbly around the battlefield, Kaesoron once again confronted the Iron Hands' first captain. In a battle that left both men in agony (actually, in Kaesoron's case, a state of orgasmic ecstasy), Santar was killed...with Kaesoron thanking him. "That was exquisite" was the last thing Santar heard. During the battleduel, a stray explosion severely disfigured Kaesoron's face.{{Fn|1b1f}} After that, Kaesoron participated very little in the actual fighting on Isstvan V, instead defiling the corpses of the dead and taking bits of them as trophies to wear on his armor.{{Fn|11g}}

After the Drop Site Massacre, Kaesoron became known as the '''Favoured Son'''.{{Fn|4a}} Alongside [[Lucius the Eternal|Lucius]], [[Fabius Bile]], and [[Marius Vairosean]] he captured Fulgrim in hopes of exorcising the [[Daemon]] they believed inhabited his body.{{fn|2}}{{Fn|4b}} While on their way to [[Iydris]], Julius Kaesoron was treated by Bile and received bone and horn implants as well as new mechanical eyes in order to repair his face.{{Fn|4b}} During the [[Battle of Iydris]], Julius he commanded 3,000 warriorsbut led them into a frenzy of mutual killing when they their senses were overloaded by the smashing of [[Aeldari]] [[Spirit stone]]s.{{Fn|4c}} When xenos spirits and [[Ghost-Warriors|constructs]] attacked, he dragged [[Warsmith]] [[Kydomor Forrix]] to safety, and was the only Emperor's Children to survive the battle outside the xeno citadel.{{Fn|4d}}
