Inquisitor Valeria has always believed that the work of the Inquisition should be guided by the spirit and the intent of lore: to use the weapons of the enemy against the enemy. For Valeria there are no lines that cannot be crossed and anything is permitted in the defense of the [[Imperium]]. In pursuit of this goal, Valeria has become a collector of arcane and lost technological knowledge. She has spent many decades exploring the ruins of many far-flung worlds and met with the [[Eldar]], [[Hrud]], [[Uluméathic|Ulumeathi]], and [[Draxian]]s to expand humanity's store of knowledge. The recovery of the [[Dimensional Forge]] has been the crowning glory of Valeria's life's work. Able to create a [[null zone]] light years in diameter, where [[Daemons]] cannot enter, the Forge was lost in an event known as [[The Howling]]. Tracking it to the [[Hive World]] of [[Cavlock]], which was under Daemonic attack, Valeria would be tracked by the [[Puritan]] Inquisitor [[Emil Darkhammer]]. Issuing an [[Exterminatus]] order, Darkhammer saw to it that whatever Valeria was trying to uncover would be reduced to cinders.{{Fn|1}}
So began a vendetta between Valeria and Darkhammer. Having declared Darkhammer ''[[Excommunicate Traitoris]]'', she has pursued him across all of [[Segmentum Obscurus]], seeking revenge under the pretext of justice. However no other Inquisitor has intervened in their feud, fearing it could escalate into a wider clash within the Inquisition.{{Fn|1}}
==Raid on Solemnace==
In 793.[[M41]], Inquisitor Valeria would raid the [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]] of [[Solemnace]], seeking answers as to why the world was spared from [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]. Valeria's party was wiped out by the planets' defenders, led by [[Trazyn the Infinite]], and she was forced to retreat with her surviving forces{{Fn|2}}. During her encounter with the [[Necron Lord]] though, Valeria had been infected with [[Mindshackle Scarabs]]; as Trazyn hoped to later make use of the Inquisitor. However the [[Ordo Hereticus]] [[Inquisitor]] [[Greyfax]], later discovered Valeria had been infected by the Necron Lord and killed the compromised Ordo Xenos Inquisitor.{{Fn|23}}
