'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an Inquisitor with a deep entrenched hatred for [[Psyker]]s. This hatred led him to denounce the precognitive abilities of the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Chief Librarian]] [[Tigurius]], as evidence of his forbidden pacts with the dark powers of the [[Warp]], and demanded an audience with [[Chapter Master]] [[Calgar]] to discuss the issue. Their meeting took place in the '''Temple of Corrections''' on [[Macragge]], where more than a hundred Ultramarines watched, as Orchaedes spat forth his anti-Psyker rhetoric. He only stopped his rant, which scorned the good name of Tigurius and the honour of the Ultramarines, when Calgar's voice cut through his tirade like a peal of thunder and [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Sicarius]] issued a challenge, in his role as the Chapter's [[Knight Champion]], under the laws of trial by combat.{{Fn|1}}
For his part, Orchaedes had a champion of his own, and from within his personal army of [[Acolyte]]s, emerged the battle-class [[Chrono-gladiator]] known as '''Naogotha'''. With a command from his master, Naogotha who launched itself at Sicarius. Though the Chrono-gladiator was heavily armoured and pumped full of [[combat drug]]s, Sicarius left his [[Talassarian Tempest Blade]] sheathed and used only his fists to pummel Naogotha. The Their battle finally ended hours later, when Naogotha's drugs ran out and the Chrono-gladiator fell dead. lasted for hours in a battle that lasted hours. With {{PAGENAME}}'s champion defeated , Sicarius told the Inquisitor to take his retinue and leave [[Ultramar]]. {{PAGENAME}} was undaunted by his defeat however and stood in front of the Captain shrilling as he shrilled his anti-Psyker beliefs and insulted both Tigurius and Sicarius. It was then that the Inquisitor made a nearly fatal mistake, as he reached into his belt and grabbed his archeotech pistol...{{Fn|1}}
In a blur, Sicarius lunged forward and swung the Tempest Bladeup, up in a savage arc that struck Orchaedes's hand off, while it still clutched the pistol. As the Inquisitor's hand hit the ground, Sicarius looked at the Inquisitor's retinue , as some went to {{PAGENAME}}'s aid while others grabbed their weapons. With a snarl, Sicarius the Captain ordered them to leave , as one hundred Ultramarines, raised their bolters to [[Bolter]]s at the retinue and Lord Calgar stood from his throne. Quaking with fear {{PAGENAME}}'s retinue quickly left the Temple of Corrections and left the enraged Inquisitor's cries for justice and vengeance against the Ultramarines go unanswered.{{Fn|1}}
