Enforcer

Inquisitor's Special Security Enforcer Barbaretta and a Cyber-Mastiff.

Enforcers are members of the Adeptus Arbites who are recruited by the Inquisition to act as an independent agents when they are investigating a member of policing or governing organizations, such as Adeptus Arbites or even a Planetary Commander. Known as Enforcers of the Inquisition, or Wards or Protectors, they are some of the most faithful people in the Imperium. The Wards are brought in to enforce an Inquisitor's rulings, replacing local security forces or the Arbites, providing kill-teams and execution squads, and lending their firepower to purges and witch hunts.¹

Enforcers are most often armored in a similar way to the Arbites, carapace and flak armour. Officers often adorn their armor with extra plates for both protective and ornamental purposes. They mostly carry combat shotguns armed with executioner shells, and shock mauls. Some have laser sights and others Cyber-Mastiffs for getting to hard to reach places. They also sometime carry weapons to capture enemies rather than kill them, such as electro-net launchers and pulse charged bolas.¹
