'''{{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''' 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. Their battle finally ended hours later, when Naogotha's drugs ran out and the Chrono-gladiator fell dead. 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 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}}
