Bastian Verveuk
Bastian Verveuk was a young, idealistic Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, who was also a Puritan to a fault and was formerly Inquisitor Leonid Osma's Interrogator. He had only been an Inquisitor for seven months, when he was sent to the Imperial world Durer, to take part in Inquisitor Eisenhorn's hunt for the Heretic Fayde Thuring. While there, Verveuk was overawed by his proximity to the older Inquisitor and continually tried to impress Eisenhorn with rather sycophantic behaviour. When Eisenhorn's agents finally discovered Thuring's location, Verveuk joined them to confront the Heretic, though not altogether with the older Inquisitor's approval. However by the time they found Thuring, the Heretic had gained control of the hidden Chaos Titan Cruor Vult and proceeded to kill several of Eisenhorn's agents and allies. In desperation, Eisenhorn summoned forth his powerful Daemonhost Cherubael, which managed to destroy the Cruor Vult, but the Daemon's host body was destroyed in its battle with the Chaos Titan. This freed Cherubael and in order to regain control of the Daemon, Eisenhorn was forced to use Verveuk's body as a vessel to contain it. Though Cherubael was successfully bound within Verveuk's body, the process killed the young Inquisitor.[1][2]
