The merest hint of the Inquisition's displeasure can be the catalyst for a High Lord being removed by those they represent. Seniority is in itself no true test of authority, but most Inquisitors will default to the wisdom of another that is older and more experienced. They will spend a portion of their time seeking out suitable candidates, perhaps from amongst the ranks of other Imperial organisations. This, some would later claim, was the lesson the Emperor meant Corax to learn, and one that would temper his nature against the numerous challenges few but the Primarchs of the Legiones Astartes can fully comprehend.

Aliens crowd close, subverting and destroying whole worlds. Labs that will allow them to pull over doppelgangers from another universe to combat the Regime. Christopher J. It is not unusual for several Inquisitor Lords Terran to share the role of Inquisitorial Representative at the same time.
