History
In the course of the Valhallan 597th's campaign on Simia Orichalcae, Commissar Ciaphas Cain suspected that the Adeptus Mechanicus had deliberately located a promethium refinery over the site of a Necron Tomb, in the hopes of investigating its technology.[1]
Amberley Vail of the Ordo Xenos, editing Cain's memoirs, noted that subsequent investigation had failed to discover concrete evidence of the conspiracy, but Inquisitor Kuryakin would welcome any pertinent information.[1] This suggests that Kuryakin's particular purview or interest was investigating aberrations or threats from the Mechanicus.
In 999.M41, Kuryakin and his entourage were also dispatched to Perlia, on a tip from Vail, to help combat the heretic influence stirred up in the wake of Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade, but by the time he arrived, the Chaos forces had already been dispatched.[2]
Trivia
Ilya Kuryakin is a character in the TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E., a Russian spy.
