→The Coup
*Co-[[Inquisitorial Representative]] [[Veritus]] was secretly poisoned by Vangorich days before. The poison was administrated in gas that mixed with Veritus' own life support chemicals to create a lethal mix. Veritus was originally only to be coerced into working for him much like [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Mesring]], but Vangorich did not administer an antidote after becoming committed to his coup. The other Inquisitorial Representative, [[Wienand]], was secretly given an antidote by Vangorich to protect her from the same poison. With his dying breath Veritus urged Wienand to cooperate with Vangorich to avoid civil war and gave her the keys to the [[Citadel of Titan]]. There, Wienand met with [[Janus]] before returning to Terra to act as Vangorich's aid.
*[[Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica]] [[Abdulias Anwar]] and [[Master of the Astronomican]] [[Volquan Sark]] were both eliminated by the same [[Culexus Assassin]]
*[[Paternoval Envoy]] [[Helad Gibran]] and his wife were both killed by his ambitious cousin [[Dovrian Ofar]]. The hit was approved by the [[Paternova]], who was disappointed with Gibran's performance during the war. In the aftermath, Ofar became the new Paternoval Envoy.
*[[Speaker for the Chartist Captains]] [[Juskina Tull]], still guilty over the failed [[Proletarian Crusade]], was goaded into committing suicide by her aid [[Anastay]], in truth an agent of Vangorich.
*[[Lord Commander Militant]] of the [[Imperial Guard]] [[Abel Verreault]] and [[Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Navy]] were killed by each others weapons by [[Master of the Administratum]] [[Tobris Ekharth]]. This Ekharth revealed that he was not the "real" Master of the Administratum but in fact an impostor, likely a [[Callidus Assassin]]. It is unknown what happened to the real Tobris Ekharth.
