Actually Heretic, that mutation is an innate flaw involving the genetic spliceing of Fenrisian material into the Marines and the departed souls of the fallen "tamed" wolves that follow the wolf priests about. Tis not warp energy, but overprotective Fenrisian entities that cause the mutation. In the end, I think of one specific detail that might put a "slightly" new spin on this. Just because this fellow might be a follower of the Emperor, doesn't mean he was loyal to the Imperium itself. After all, everyone knows what happens to true believers in what the Emperor wanted "nowadays".
