→Inquisitorial Career
One of the longest hunts of Ravenor's Inquisitorial career was for the [[heretic]] [[Zygmunt Molotch]], a "graduate" of the [[Cognitae]] [[cult]] active in the [[Helican subsector]]. Ravenor tracked Molotch to an archaeological site where he had found ancient carvings that allowed him to build on his growing lexicon of [[Enuncia]]. Ravenor called in an air strike, and believed Molotch perished.{{Fn|5a}}
Several years later, during 401-404.[[M41]], Ravenor and his team were smuggled onto [[Eustis Majoris]] to investigate the illegal trade in [[flect]]s, an addictive new drug becoming very popular among the under-hivers. This investigation led Ravenor and his team off-world as stowaways on a flect-trafficking ship, where they were almost killed when the team of civilian aides from the [[sector]] [[governor]]'s office accompanying them turned out to be [[psyker]] assassins. They survived only by a slim margin, and returned to Eustis Majoris several months later.{{Fn|5x}} Since Ravenor suspected that the sector governor himself was involved in the flect trade, and possibly much worse, he and his team had to move in secret, without the weight of the [[Inquisition]] behind them.{{Fn|6}}
After escaping several assassination attempts, Ravenor and his team finally confronted the sector governor, recognizing him as none other than Molotch - disfigured for life, but very much alive. Using the resources of the sector, and the illegal goods smuggled in from the [[Mergent Worlds]], Molotch had slowly been reconstructing his Enuncia lexicon from scratch. He was close to completing a ritual that would allow him to heal his body and possibly ascend to [[daemonhood]], before Ravenor stopped him.{{Fn|6}}
