[[Image:youngEisenhorn.jpg|left|thumb|Inquisitor Eisenhorn before the end of the Pontius affair]]Born in 198.[[M41]], on DeKere's World, Gregor Eisenhorn became a pupil of [[Inquisitor]] Hapshant at a young age. He studied alongside fellow trainee Titus Endor and was elevated to the rank of Inquisitor in 222.M41, aged 24. His first successful persecution was that of the [[heretic]] Lemete Syre.
Carving out a stable and competent career, Eisenhorn eventually found himself being drawn into events that would change the course of his life in the year 240.M41. During this year Eisenhorn succeeded in ending the menace of the mass-murderer Murdin Eyeclone, an investigation that is notable not only for bringing [[Godwyn Fischig]] and [[Alizebeth Bequin]] into his employ, but also for setting him on the route of both [[Pontius Glaw]] and the [[Necroteuch]].
Following leads from the Eyeclone investigation, Eisenhorn became tangled up with a heretical cabal on the world of [[Gudrun]], and in fact was briefly captured and tortured by one of their members, Gorgone Locke. The cabal was eventually broken by a full Inquisitorial purge led by Inquisitor [[Voke]]. Eisenhorn was able to recover a device known as the Pontius from the cabal, and it later transpired that this device held the encoded brain-engrams of the long-dead infamous [[heretic]] Pontius Glaw; one of the cabal's schemes had involved arranging his resurrection. Eisenhorn held Pontius Glaw captive and interrogated him regularly, before finally choosing to have the Pontius device incarcerated by [[Magos]] [[Bure]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. This decision would have a profound effect on Eisenhorn's future.
