Gallowglass

Edit

Innocence proves nothing.


Inquisitor Gallowglass is a young and struggling Inquisitor leaning towards the holy Ordos Xenos and Hereticus. Shortly after becoming Interrogator, Gallowglass is said to have suffered cruel tortures and rituals in the hands of heretics. Since this time he is known to wear a black glass mask crafted by the Brotherhood of Mars. Quite unique is also his gigantic physis; nearly being as huge as one of the Space Marines and often seen in his Powerarmor, Gallowglass strikes fear into the hearts of common folk and lesser peers.

Gallowglass is a very patient person, coldly calculating and soft spoken. Not much is known about his past but that he grew up in a warrior clan on the very planet, he named himself after. Since becoming Inquisitor he has built up a huge network of spies and counterspies like a grand chess game. The death of a human being seems to move him little, but a proven few of his closest acolytes have earned a close place to his heart.

Although every lead of corruption is being followed by the young Inquisitor, his foremost target are cultists, heretics and Chaos in all its ruinous forms. Gallowglass has been known more than once to cross borders into the fields of competences of the other Ordos. Whereas Inquisitors from Ordo Malleus seem to have no problem with this attitude, Inquisitors of Ordo Xenos do not take these transgressions lightly. In his peer Gallowglass is seen as an ambitious and enduring upstart.

The Enemy[]

Heresy[]

  • Temple of the Dark Patriarch: Mysterious cult with a temple in the underhive of Gunmetal City (Scintilla). Somehow involved in illegal drug trafficing at Sheol17.beta (The Hold).
  • The Logicians : Dangerous cult of hereteks and Archeotech seekers. Deep rooted, ruthless and very influental.

Xenos[]

  • Eldar: The dying folk is one of the more elder and advanced races of the known galaxy. The Inquisition knows of two eldar craftworld sightings in the Segmentum Obscurum and strongly suspects that the Eldar have a special connection to this part of the galaxy. It is also suspected that the Eldar have more than once mingled in the affairs of Men and in the machinations of the Inquisition especially. Some Inquisitors go even as far as to accuse certain factions in the Inquisition to have regular contact to this xenos race.
    • Elue'adril (Lady Calahir, The Lady of the White Tower)
  • Dark Eldar: The sinister and feared line sharing the same roots as the Eldar. As enigmatic as Eldar but a thousand times more capricious and untrustworthy this race is rightly distrusted and feared by other civilizations. Although on the first glance they look quite similar to their brethren, in truth they share little but their history in common.
    • Dracon Ynth'oras (Leader of the Coven of the Silent Cry)
  • Orc: A wild race born for war and dangerous in numbers. It can quickly grow from a minor barbaric nuissance into a highly technological advanced and spacefaring pest. An orc tribe somehow managed to settle on Sheol17.beta, also known as The Hold, and is now in battle with mutants and gangers on this planet.
  • Slaught: An advanced race which has mastered necromerging, the science of combining the living, the dead and the machine. After millennia of relentless persecution by the Eldar, it is now a dying race with only few isolated cabals left. Or so it seems.
    • Cult of the Tears of Hurun (Acreage)
    • Church of the Falling Stars (Acreage)

Malleus[]

  • Naram Sin
