Etiquette
Nobles are schooled in how to comport themselves in all manner of formal situations.
Effect: You gain a +10 bonus on Charm, Deceive and Scrutiny Tests when dealing with high authority and in formal situations.
Supremely Connected
Nobles have extensive connections and you know that dropping the “right” names into a conversation can open more doors than a fistful of Thrones. Effect: You begin play with the Peer (Nobility) talent. In addition, you also gain Peer (Academics, Adeptus Mechanicus, Administratum, Astropaths, Ecclesiarchy, Government, mercantile, Military or Underworld), selecting one category to reflect your family’s powerbase.
Vendetta
Every noble house has its sworn enemies and rivals who would do it and its members harm. Joining the Holy Ordos doesn’t stop this, it merely forces those who wish you harm to be a bit more cautious and subtle in exacting their vengeance. Effect: You have powerful enemies, perhaps in the shape of a rival noble house or some other powerful group. The details of these enemies are left to you and the GM to define,
working together to create a formidable threat. While they do not dog your steps at every turn, they are still out there, aiming to inconvenience, harm or kill you when you cross their path, You, of course, are free to return the favour when it’s expedient to do so.
Wealth
Those born into the nobility are also born in to wealth and enjoy the fruits of their family’s fortunes. Effect: You begin play with double the starting number of Thrones. You are also Noble for the purposes of determining monthly income
Sanctioned Psyker: Irradience: You have no hair on your body or head.
Ascended Traits
1. The Psyker’s gift
Many Inquisitors are also psychically gifted, their powerful wills and intimate knowledge of the warp lending themselves to the path of the psykers. You must already be a psyker to select this trait. You may select the Minor Psychic Power
Talent as an Elite Advance for 500xp, the Major Psychic Power Talent as an Elite Advance for 750xp, or the Ascended Psychic Power Talent as an Elite Advance for 1,000 xp. You
may also increase your current Psy Rating by +1 as an Elite Advance for 1,000 xp. The xp cost of the Ascended Psychic Power Talent may be reduced in the normal fashion (see page 125).
Starting Inquisitor Skill
Indomitable Will of the inquisition
To become an Inquisitor is to have strength of will beyond that of normal men, to be able to look into the face of man’s worst fears and carry on regardless. No one who carries the rosette does so without the will to back it up. Once per game session, the Inquisitor may automatically pass one Willpower test (this may also include skill tests based on Willpower and psychic powers). Should degrees of success be a factor, then the Inquisitor is considered to have rolled a 01 on this test.
This ability can be used before or after the character makes the Willpower Test, and can always be made regardless any other modifiers that apply to the Test
Acolyte Network:
The character maintains one or more cells of chosen acolytes
who perform missions for him, and can act as his proxies and
agents when he are not present. These acolytes are talented
servants who carry out dangerous missions and investigations
at the will of their Inquisitor, often on their own and with
little direct intervention from their master. The number of
acolyte cells an Inquisitor maintains beyond his personal
cadre varies as much as the nature of individual Inquisitors.
Some maintain vast networks of dozens of acolytes working
alone or in cells, others maintain only a single cell of carefully
chosen servants. The advantage of maintaining an acolyte
network is that an Inquisitor can address many tasks without
being personally present and can draw on a pool of loyal and
experienced operatives who are personally loyal to him.
The character may use his acolyte network in two ways: to carry
out specific missions, or as a resource of people to draw on.
Missions:To set an acolyte cell on a mission, the character
simply needs to set out the mission objective. The GM
then decides, in secret, if the mission succeeds and to what
extent; if he wishes to do this randomly, he should make a
test using the character’s influence modified as he sees fit for
the difficulty of the mission. As the Inquisitor is not acting
directly in the mission a –20 penalty is imposed on this test.
Personal Resource: The character may attempt to
requisition individuals of a particular expertise from amongst
the acolytes he maintains to accompany him in person. This
is done in exactly the same way as requisitioning personnel
using Influence, but no negative modifiers for the duration
of requisition apply, and the character can only requisition
individual acolytes. This means that he has to test for every
acolyte he wishes to requisition in this way
Member of the Tyrantine cabal
The character is a member of the Tyrantine Cabal and has
been branded with an electoo in the form of a star haloed
chalice which is the mark of the Spectarians. The character is
an acknowledged member of the Cabal whose chief concern
is the meaning of the Prophecy of Darkness and the Tyrant
Star. As such, he has access to the resources amassed by Lord
Inquisitor Zerbe in the Bastion Serpentis on the Scintillan
moon of Lachesis, which includes vast stores of knowledge,
cells, laboratories, dangerous objects, and weaponry. It is also
possible for him to call on the aide of other Spectarians and
even can try and mobilise the collective will of the Cabal to
a particular end. Much, however, depends on the character’s
status within the Tyrantine Cabal and the disposition of its other
disparate members. Much of the most precious information
and resources are hoarded by Zerbe’s inner circle and are both
unknown and unavailable to most members of the Cabal.
Effects:The character may gain access to the Bastion Serpentis
without the use of Influence. He may also re-roll failed Influence
tests when trying to influence other members of the Tyrantine
Cabal, or to requisition equipment or services from those
resources assembled by the Cabal for the use of its members.

History:
Born on Holy Terra itself into the Naraku family, one of the thirteen lesser Houses of the Gyptian bloc, Lillian was taken by the Sisters of Silence at the tender age of eight because of active Telepathic manifestations.
All she remembers before those times of pain and horror aboard the Black Ships is the hyper competitive environment of a Terran noble house, half fierce faith in the God-Emperor, half byzantine politics and power jockeying that make up the daily realities of the nobility on the Throneworld.
Though too young to comprehend much of what took place around her these early experiences were an accurate precursor for the life she would one day live in service to the Emperor in the Most Holy Ordos of the Inquisition.
At the age of fifteen, fully schooled and educated, she was attached to the sprawling staff of Inquisitor Sethiro Weyland in the distant Morpheus Sector.
Though far from the brightest or most talented of his many Acolytes Lillian possessed two traits that would eventually come to the attention of her distant Inquisitorial master.
The first was her ability and desire to pay attention to the most mundane details of the Inquisitor's work. The vast majority of the Inquisition's work is not fierce running battles on alien worlds but the steady and endless research, groundwork, and investigations that lead to the discovery of Heresy and, once discovered, the careful peeling back and persecution of the Heresy.
On Samater's World Lillian discovered the hidden bribery-accounts of the Birben-Surgeon and his Heretical Cult, a detail that even the Inquisitor's Senior Sages missed. The resulting persecution was brutal and during the purge Lillian was captured and tortured by vengeful Surgeons.
Rescued after three days and nights of torment the Inquisitor was shocked to discover she had stayed true to the Emperor and resisted spilling details of the Inquisition's operation by biting her own tongue off.
Thus was her second strength revealed; the intense desire to never give up or give in, even in the worst circumstances.
Twenty years later, after rising to the rank of Inquisitor herself at the feet of Weyland, she was transferred to the Calixis Sector to assist one of Weyland's allies in an investigation.
Over the course of thirty years Lillian became a respected presence in the Sector, with seven deadly conspiracies broken open at her hand. It was the eighth conspiracy however, that would almost spell her doom.
Believing that several of the more clever and dangerous Heretics she had persecuted all had some sort of tie to each other Lillian embarked on an investigation that would take almost sixty years to complete as she unraveled a massive web of conspiracy, wealth, power, and Heresy.
Most of her fellow Inquisitors thought she was just chasing ghosts, that the crimes and cults she persecuted where just unrelated bubbles of corruption, but Lillian knew better and after endless decades of chasing cornered the spider at the center of the web.
The spider turned out to be Delsuvian Toth, a Thousands Son's Sorcerer of immense power and linage, being a master of all Psychic Disciplines and a plotter without peer who once learned at the feet of Magnus the Red in the unknowably distant past.
Far from catching the spider though, she learned she had simply fallen into his trap, having earned the dubious distinction of finally irritating him enough with her investigations to earn her death.
On the hollowed out asteroid station of Menicil Ecilpses the Sorcerer and his minions ambushed the Inquisitor's Cadre and murdered them almost to the last man.
Only two of Lillian's Cadre escaped, dragging the burnt and broken body of their Inquisitor with them.
Though a follow up investigation was made the Inquisition could find no trace of the Sorcerer and couldn't even determine what, if anything, was the overall goal of the disparate conspiracies Lillian uncovered.
Though she had no knowledge of what the Sorcerer's overall goal was herself Lillian spent the long years of her convalescence pulling details together and examining them, convinced she was right.
Though she was unable to heal, now being little more than a burnt corpse in an armored life support coffin, Lillian has reentered the game, smashing open hidden threats and rebuilding her Cadre as she searches for the Sorcerer and seeks to stop whatever massive threat he surely represents to the Imperium.
