Every "graduate" of the Cognitae was both highly intelligent and extremely dangerous{{Fn|1a}}. These included [[Zygmunt Molotch]], [[Jader Trice]], and [[Gall Ballack]].
According to [[Criol Fowst]], the Cognitae, or some version of it, had existed within the [[Imperium]] for millennia, as far back as before the [[Great Crusade]]. It also spawned several offshoots and imitators, some of which tried to recruit Fowst. He found some ideals in common with them, but ultimately rejected them in favor of his "true" calling, as a [[Brotherhood of the Knife|cultist ]] in service to the [[Word Bearers]]{{Fn|2}}.
