Hyronimus Drake
Hyronimus Drake was an Inquisitor of the Imperium during the time of the Macharian Crusade.[1a]
Accompanying Lord Solar Macharius during the latter part of the Crusade, Drake saw one of his primary missions as monitoring Macharius himself for any signs of corruption.[1a] During the conflict on Karsk IV, he aided Macharius in defeating a monstrous Lord of Change by using his expertise to close a Warp portal.[2] He continued to accompany Macharius on the Crusade, aiding him in the struggle for control of the Fist of Demetrius on Demetrius and Procrastes.[3]
During the war on Loki against the traitorous general Richter, Drake, alongside Logan Grimnar, slew the heretic.[1b] However, he may have been also feeding the traitors intelligence in order to deliberately stall the war effort as part of his unknown ends.[1c]
Drake may or may not have been involved in the death of Macharius himself, as an Officio Assassinorum agent dubbed Anna, masquerading as a Inquisitorial Storm Trooper in Drake's command, killed the famed general. However, the truth was buried shortly thereafter, as Drake was silenced by the same assassin.[1c]
