Rykehuss
Rykehuss is a notorious monodominant Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, most known for stopping the rampage of the traitorous Inquisitor Erya Nephthys by killing her a third and final time.[1]
Rykeuss is a Witch Hunter of the Ordo and specializes in the finding and capture of Psykers. His most common method of dealing with Psykers is to set up a Court of Odeals in a city of choice, at which point pious citizens bring accused neighbors and family to be tried. This often results in bloody purges as he seeks out to kill all the "sinners". Innocents are invariably killed in this spectacles, but the Inquisitor considers them acceptable losses. This has led Rykehuss to develop a reputation as a hero and butcher simultaneously.[2]
As a member of the Tyrantine Cabal, he routinely opposes Inquisitor Vownus Kaede, an other witch hunter that persists saving Psykers from him and his pogroms. The fact that Rykehuss is totally deprived of any known psychic power, despises them, while Kaede is an Alpha Plus psyker himself, does not help in their tumultuous coexistence.
In battle he wears ornate customised armour given to him by the Adeptus Mechanicus as gratitude for his unraveling of a Witch Cult on a Forge World.[2]
