Arrius Balk
Arrius Balk was a Radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor.[1]
He led expeditions to search out and collect Genestealer Broodlords for experimentation. However, the last one he collected alive, codenamed Specimen X, broke free of its restraints and over the course of a month it killed the crew of Balk's Inquisitorial Cruiser Confero. When the wreck of the Confero was discovered, a Deathwatch Kill-Team was sent to board it; but they found only the remains of the Cruiser's crew. As for Balk, no trace of him was ever found, though the Ordo Xenos learned that Specimen X managed to escape the Cruiser and began creating a Genestealer Cult on an Imperium world. The Kill-Team that boarded the Confero has now been charged with killing Specimen X and they have hunted down and destroyed every Genestealer Cult the Broodlord has created; though the creature itself has managed to escape their grasp and is now plaguing the war enveloped Antian Sector.[1]
