Hephaestos Grudd
"The Despoiler comes forth once again, and he cannot be stopped by force of arms alone. It is his will that the stars be stained red with the blood of all who oppose him. An infinite horde of fiends, mutants and cacodaemons obey his command to devour Cadia alive. But he will not stop there.
If our faith in the Emperor and our force of arm prove strong, the forces of Chaos can be driven back into hell. If we are found wanting, humanity will fall."[2]
Hephaestos Grudd is an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord that served on Gudrun.[1a]
He carried a Daemonhammer into battle and is most notable for the banishment of a Greater Daemon.[1a] Grudd also convinced the Inquisitor Silas Hand to leave the Ordo Hereticus and become a member of the Ordo Malleus.[1b]
