no edit summary
According to the Inquisitorial annals, Ravenor was formally commended for his banishment of the heretic "Thonius Slyte."{{Fn|3a}} Despite this, Ravenor was given a choice after the Inquisition's inquiry, retire from duty and refrain from the use of psionics, or hunt down Eisenhorn. He would choose the former.{{Fn|12}}
===Ravenor vs. Eisenhorn===
Later, he was tasked with hunting down his old mentor Eisenhorn, who was believed to have gone rogue.{{Fn|9}} He later reunited with Eisenhorn as the two happened to both be investigating the [[Cognitae]] and the mysterious [[King in Yellow]].{{Fn|13}} Ultimately, Eisenhorn broke [[Bequin]] out of Ravenor's custody in order to use her in the fight against the King in Yellow.{{Fn|14}}
 
Ravenor was able to reestablish contact with Bequin on the world of [[Sancour]], where they established a truce of sorts and shared with her the book of [[Lilean Chase]].{{Fn|15}} Ravenor and his team helped Bequin enter the [[City of Dust]], the supposed domain of the [[King in Yellow]] and was present when the name of the Yellow King was apparently revealed to be [[Constantin Valdor]].{{Fn|15a}}
==Abilities==
* '''[[Wystan Frauka]]''' — An '[[Blank|Untouchable]]', a man with the latent ability to block out psychic activity. Big, chain-smoking and disliked by pretty much everyone (in part because of his psychic blankness. It was mentioned in Xenos that the field untouchables project also creates a sense of fear, revulsion and dread in others.). An interesting difference to the Eisenhorn novels is Frauka's so-called inhibitor, a device allowing him to shut down his natural anti-psi field. He is often found passing the time by reading pornographic data-slates or staring at the female members of the team.
* '''[[Zael Effernetti]] ''' — A boy, about 14 years old, addicted to [[Flect|flects]] when he first appears. In the wake of Ravenor's investigation to uncover the source of the flects, Zael gets taken along for being able to "hear" the telepathic communication between Ravenor and Nayl. He is a psychic "mirror," with no real psychic capabilities of his own. As well as his precognitive abilities, he is able to use the psychic powers of others in his vicinity but not for an extended period of time. He also shared Frauka's attraction to pornography. After Ravenor was apprehended as a Rogue, Zael was eventually handed over to the [[Grey Knights]] as a recruit. As with all Grey Knights, Zael's memories were erased and he became the individual named Hyperion.{{Fn|11a}} As a Grey Knight, Hyperion's distinctions include surviving the [[First War of Armageddon]], where he used his considerable abilities to shatter [[Angron]]'s [[Black Blade]],{{Fn|11b}} and being promoted to the rank of [[Prognosticar]].{{Fn|11c}}
* '''[[Maud Plyton]]''' — An ex-Magistrum marshall marshal who during investigation of a suspected suicide stumbles across a secret central to the plans of a world wide conspiracy on the planet Eustis Majoris to recreate a powerful warp based language. She joins Ravenor after she and her family are targeted for assassination. She is noted to having cute facial features that clash with her no nonsense marshall appearance.
* '''[[Cynia Preest]]''' — Captain of the Hinterlight, a rogue trade ship regularly employed by Ravenor. The Hinterlight is equipped with a custom-built stealth device partly comprised of alien technology, partly powered by Ravenor's own considerable psychic powers.
* '''[[Sholto Unwerth]]''' — Captain of the Arethusa, a rogue trade ship that Ravenor employs after leaving the Hinterlight. Develops a controversial relationship with Patience Kys, as seen in Ravenor Rogue.
*[[Eldar]] Allies from multiple [[Craftworld]]s including [[Ulthwe]] and [[Alaitoc]].{{Fn|15b}}
