Severus Oln
Severus Oln was a Psychic Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord.[3]
History
When he[3] began secretly trailing the[1] Warband of the Nurgle Sorcerer Septic Lexus,[2] Oln hastily gathered a force to deal with the Traitors. The Inquisitor Lord stalked them from world to world, until the Warband reached Tikgrix. Though the Inquisitor Lord originally thought he would be dealing with a routine Chaos Cult purging, he soon began sensing[1] a Great Unclean One[5] within his mind. It was trapped within a cube prison in a village on Tikgrix, which Lexus intended to break open, and Oln realized at once, that he was not prepared to face[1] the Greater Daemon.[6] Instead the Inquisitor Lord resolved to stop Lexus from freeing the Great Unclean One and then a cell of Inquisitors or Grey Knights would later deal with the Greater Daemon.[1]
The two sides then clashed in the village,[5] all while the Greater Daemon attacked their minds to dominate them. Unfortunately, many of Oln's forces fell under its sway and this greatly aided[6] Lexus in successfully freeing the Great Unclean One. The Inquisitor Lord was then killed in battle with the Sorcerer and the newly freed Daemon, who soon unleashed the forces of the Chaos God Nurgle upon the world. This led to the deaths of Oln's remaining retinue and the Great Unclean One[5] began to change Tikgrix into a Daemon World.[1]
