Gotterich Valon
Gotterich Valon, is a Thorian Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus, who was once the Cardinal of the Imperial world, San Sebastian. It was during his service as a Cardinal, that Valon worked with the Missionarus Galaxia to create several Schola Progeniums and in 965.M41, he began a five-year tour of these Scholas, in recognition for his sterling service to the Ecclesiarchy. His visit to the Schola Progenium abby on Luchesio nearly caused his end though, as it was being invaded by Orks at the time and the abby was destroyed, during a bomb raid by the Xenos. After the bombing, Valon was trapped in the rubble of the Schola abby, until he was rescued by the 12 year old girl Louisa Della Monica, who had miraculously been unhurt by the Orks' attack. This led Monica to be declared blessed by the Emperor and she became one of Valon's charges, along with several others, who became veterans of Luchesio's invasion.[1]
Valon then once again, began touring the Scholas he created and it was during the tour's final year, that he encountered Inquisitor Van Dremen on Sanagua Primar. The two would soon become friends and shortly afterwards, Valon relinquished his Ecclesiarchal duties in order to aid the Inquisitor in his investigations. Under Dremen's tutelage, Valon would eventually become the Inquisitor's Interrogator and in time, he became an Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus. Since joining the Ordo, he has fought in many conflicts, the most notable being the defense of Cadia, during the 13th Black Crusade. Valon was heavily wounded while defending the invaded Fortress World however and as a result, his body now needs to be artificially sustained by chem-inducers and bionics.[1]
