'''Pontius Glaw''' was a member of [[House Glaw]], one of the noble Houses of [[Gudrun]]. As the seventh son of the noble lord, Pontius was essentially left to his own devices, becoming corpulent with excess. Eventually, in 019.M41, Pontius became corrupted by [[Slaanesh]] and due to a torc given to him by a slave he owned named [[Aaa]].<sup>1</sup> After his corruption he led a cabal of like-minded men to wreak havoc - gaining him the attention of the Inquisition. Inquisitor [[Absolom Angevin]] and his band hunted the heretic down and executed him, with the aid of his own family (seeking to publicly distance themselves from their heretic kinsman).
Two centuries later, Inquisitors [[Gregor Eisenhorn]] and [[Commodus Voke]] (the latter having been a member of Angevin's retinue when Pontius was killed) began an investigation of House Glaw based on connections to the Glaw family from heretics they had killed. Eisenhorn, in particular, had heard of something called "the Pontius" in his hunt for the heretic [[Murdin Eyclone]] on [[Hubris]]. Upon his investigation of House Glaw, Eisenhorn discovered that "the Pontius" was a crystal that contained the essence of Pontius Glaw and that his family had been trying to resurrect him. Upon destroying House Glaw - which had in fact been completely corrupted - Eisenhorn took Pontius' crystal into his possession and hid it away with an old friend, [[Magos]] [[Bure]], on [[Cinchare]].
