INQUISITORS OF NOTE IN THE IPSOS SECTOR
As per your request my Lord, I have acquired a list of information on some of the more prominent Inquisitors in the Ipsos sector. I hope this serves your purposes well.
LADY ELIZABETHA GREY
As an infant, Elizabetha Grey was much like any other child. She was born into a noble family on the planet Castilla, a civilised world in the Gloriana system. It was the invasion on Castilla by the Ork Waagh Kazrik that was to lead to her life taking a very different path from that of a mere planetary noble.
The Orks struck from nowhere. Castilla, being the first planet in the path of the Waagh, was overrun in a matter of weeks. When the Orks broke into the Grey families manor they must have found the young Elizabetha and her family cowering, terrified in the cellars. I say must have, my Lord, because it what then transpired is not known. When the Storm Troopers of the Samarobrivan Grenadiers regiment cleared the building they found the child Elizabetha shivering and alone in the middle of the cellar room. Pasted about the walls and ceiling were the remains of quite a large number of Orks. The location of her family was unknown but it is speculated that they were killed in the same manner as the Orks. Being simple soldiers, the Storm Troopers took the child back to the Schola Progenium on Samarobriva, unaware of the cause of the incident. Lady Elizabetha was six years of age at this point.
At the Schola, Elizabetha showed no signs of unusual powers. She was trained for entry into the Adepta Sororitas and took to her studies well. It seemed she would make a fine Battle Sister, and I am certain she would have had it not been for a visit to the Schola from Inquisitor Carolus (now deceased, see file --FILE RESTRICTED--). Being a powerful psyker himself, he recognised psychic potential in Elizabetha. As a result, he inducted Elizabetha into his service so that he might train her to use her powers effectively. And so it was that, at the age of fourteen, Elizabetha entered into training under an Inquisitor.
Despite Elizabetha's potential for great psychic ability, she very rarely used her powers. It is most likely that she fears them, having deep rooted psychological trauma from the incident in her families manor. Elizabetha stayed on with Inquisitor Carolus for some time, until, at the age of thirty four, she was made an Inquisitor proper. From this point on her career went from strength to strength and she gained renown as a wise and intelligent Inquisitor. Working in and around the Ipsos sector she successfully prevented numerous insurrections and eradicated countless Chaos cults. At the age of ninety six she was nominated and elevated to the rank of Inquisitor Lord.
Lady Elizabetha Grey works extensively with the Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Ebon Chalice, located on Gehenna. She is a member of no Ordo, but has close ties with the Ordo Hereticus. It is thought that her fondness for working with the Ecclesiarchy is due to her time in training at the Schola Progenium. She has also been known to work with inducted Imperial Guard regiments and has an exceptionally good relationship with the Knights of Marconia chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. She aligns herself to no faction within the Inquisition, preferring to focus her attentions on her duty to safeguard the Imperium against its enemies.
Lady Grey has trained several Inquisitors, notably one Nathaniel Luteran with whom she maintains close contact with and has worked with on several occasions. She has been known to also work with Lord Inquisitor Marcus Calvinus. She harbours deep hostility for Inquisitor Guido Abraxis, whom she sees as rash and dangerous.
During her recent involvement with the Eldar she appears to have developed an intense dislike for the race. It is said that she pursues them with vigour even now. Whether her purposes are discovery or revenge is, as of yet, unclear.
LORD INQUISITOR MARCUS CALVINUS
I could find little or no records of Lord Marcus Calvinus' activities before his recent arrival in the Ipsos sector. His arrival was tied in with the affair of the False Prophet Boden (xref: --FILE RESTRICTED--) and was thought to be at the request of Lady Elizabetha Grey. His actions in that campaign proved him to be a warrior of quite some skill. He is of the Ordo Malleus and is a staunch Thorian. It is thought that his Thorian tendencies are what have kept him in the sector and, as far as my sources can tell, he has been investigating the Adepta Sororitas in this sector, researching the Living Saint that has been rumoured to have been seen in various recent campaigns.
Lord Calvinus most often makes use of the Grey Knights when he goes to battle, preferring to make a surgical strike at the heart of the enemies forces. He is often seen to be working with other Inquisitors of the Thorian factions, most notably a young Inquisitor by the name of Andrei Tredan, who has been known to have been working in the Ipsos sector for his entire career. He feels a deep enmity for Inquisitor Guido Abraxis and the two have come to physical violence on several occasions.
INQUISITOR GUIDO ABRAXIS
Inquistor Abraxis is a fervent Monodominant. A member of the Ordo Hereticus, he fights to cleanse the Ipsos sector of the mutant, the psyker and the xeno. His methods are considered extreme by most and dangerous by some. He has declared exterminatus on two seperate planets and frequently leads purges of worlds in the Ipsos sector.
Raised on the hive world Babylon in the Dantus system, Abraxis was recruited as an explicator by the Amalathian Inquisitor Turpin. One of his first acts after being made a full Inquisitor was to launch an investigation into his old master. Sadly, the results will never been known as Inquisitor Turpin took his own life before the investigation could be completed.
Along with the Adepta Sororitas, Abraxis takes great pleasure in using penitents in his methods, and often recruits rabble mobs from the various Redemptionist cults on the planets in the Ipsos sector. For this reason, perhaps, he works mainly in the Dantus system. He works with no other Inquisitors referring to them as 'weak' and 'hypocritical.'
That is all I could find master, but I hope it is enough to be going on. I will task my sources to find any more information available. I am, my Lord, your faithful servant.
Lady Elizabetha, one of my agents intercepted this transmission. I thought it of the utmost importance to bring it to your attention. - R
Her arm twitched again, the pain in her side was lessening with the care of the chirurgeons but had still not faded fully.
That shrieking Eldar harridan had almost ended her that day, only the actions of her loyal retainers bought the time needed for an emergency evacuation teleport, what had one of the “Phoenix Lords” as those foul witch scum called them been doing on that world anyway, had the Aliakor meant that much to them that they had called on one of their great legends?
These months had not been wasted however, tracking information gleaned from all aspects of the Inquisition had allowed her to gather authorisation for a crusade against the Eldar, and now she had finally found a target.
The craftworlds were far too great an obstacle, entire fleets could crash against then and achieve nothing, nut now she had received word of a world, not too far from the Eye of Terror that the craftworld of Ulthwe were using as base for some kind of operation, in Imperial space no less! It would be an ideal target to lead her troops to and take a bloody toll on those who dared deny her the Aliakor and nearly brought her end.
Her troops had found a staging post for Eldar operations on world, a small fortress the Eldar had named “Telas Morn” in their foul tongue, that is where the hammer of the Emperor would fall first…
