{{InquisitionPortal}}The '''Revivificators''' are a branch and subfaction within the [[Inquisition]] of the [[Imperium]] and descend partly from the [[Thorian]]s' beliefs. Unlike other [[Resurrectionist]] cults, the Revivificators have few ties with the [[Ministorum]]. Their goal is the study of the transition of the soul to the [[Warp]] at the moment of death.{{Fn|1}}

== History ==Though their studies over of the soul are similar to the [[Casophilians]] and the [[Anomolian Beholders]], the Revivificators seek the study in finding a means through which death can be slowed or even halted and ultimately returned. This peculiar field means that such [[Inquisitor]]s that follow this philosophy tend to be found on the battlefield or in plague areas where they conduct investigations on those that are nearing death. In addition to such locales, they are also found to be common visitors of to tombs and mausoleums which leads to a certain amount of disrespect to the practices of the [[Ecclesiarchy]]. This has also led to a reputation in them being called '''"ghouls"''' and '''"ravens"''' due to the morbid nature of their practices.{{Fn|1}}

Revivificators are known to have learnt learned much from the capture of various [[Eldar]] over the centuries. This is because they find the aspect of the Eldar spirit to be a fascinating field of study and have conducted numerous experiments in replicating the practice of capturing a departing soul. However, all these attempts have been unsuccessful as Mankind's [[psychic ]] technology is far inferior to the psychic engineering properties of the Eldar [[Wraithbone]]. In addition to this, there are also those who follow this belief who have read the [[Inquisitor Lord]] [[Van Hinkel]]'s ''[[Treatise on the Soultheft Methods of Eldar Pirates]] '' which was written in the [[39th Millennium]]. The detailed text contains a report of the Inquisitor's findings of the interrogation of a captured [[Dark Eldar]] which also contained collated information from many other sources which were previously scattered in various libraries and datafiles that were present throughout the Inquisition's fortresses and stations. Among the least scrupulous of the Revivificators, there have been attempts at repeating the torturous practices of the Dark Eldars Eldar on heretics and other criminals , though they are not exclusive to such a treatment. There are few within the Inquisition who are aware of the grisly dungeons that are staffed by telepaths and which are wired to arcane machinery for the detection as well as the extraction of psychic energy.{{Fn|1}}

The ultimate goal of these Inquisitors is to study the [[Golden Throne]] itself and find a means of altering its working in order for the [[Emperor]]'s body to be restored. As such, they seek study not only the study of the passage of a soul into the [[Warp]] but also the means through which a corpse can be maintained in a state of readiness for a possible reinfusion re-infusion of the soul. Access to such knowledge and technologies often mean that the Revivificators live far longer than other Inquisitors with the oldest being Inquisitor Lord [[Verinath]] who was shot and killed whilst hale and hearty at the age of seven hundred and sixty -three.^{{Fn|1}}
