Edwin Savaul was an Interrogator of the Ordo Hereticus who served Inquisitor Abraham Vinculus.[1]

In 832.M41, Vinculus sent Savaul to put down a Chaos Culton the Forge World of Stygia XII, supported by Veteran Captain Dremin Vlorn of the Fourth Inquisitorial Storm Trooper Regiment and Sister Superior Helena Britaine of the Order of the Bloody Rose. The Inquisitor had discovered that the cultists had come into possession of four Chaos-tainted objects known as Necrolectifiers and were planning to use them to open a warp gate within the fortress they had occupied, dubbed Stormhelm by the Stygians.[1]

Savaul and his support attempted to breach Stormhelm several times, but failed. With time running out, unexpected assistance arrived on Stygia XII in the form of Castellan Marius Reinhart leading a task force of the Black Templars Chapter. Reinhart revealed that Stormhelm was in fact an abandoned Black Templars keep and agreed to help Savaul to penetrate it. Savaul had Vlorn and his Stormtroopers conduct an artillery barrage of the fortress as a distraction while he and the Adepta Sororitas accompanied Reinhart, entering the keep's catacombs via a hidden entrance.[1]

When they were inside, however, Reinhart wanted to prioritise his original mission over stopping the cult. Sister Helena was able to persuade him to divide his task force; while most of the Templars proceeded to the deeper vaults to inter Ezekial Yesod within a Dreadnought, Reinhart and Apollos would aid her and Savaul in defeating the cult. Savaul and the others succeeded in destroying the cult and sealing the warp gate. The interrogator was one of the few survivors of the battle.[1]
