Czevak was born in mid [[M41]]. He became a [[High Inquisitor]] of the [[Ordo Xenos]].{{Fn|1b}}
At some point before 805.[[M41]], Czevak had few contacts left among the [[Ordo Xenos]]. Nonetheless, he was contacted by [[Radical]] [[Inquisitor]] [[Maturin Ralei]], who asked for information about the history of the [[Eldar]]. Czevak's contacts in the Ordo spoke highly of Ralei's willingness to delve deeply into this kind of knowledge, and so Czevak replied. He gave Ralei a translation made by Czevak's [[xenolinguitor]] of the relevant stanzas from a sacred text of the [[Iyanden]] [[Craftworld]], but told Ralei not to contact him again. In 805.[[M41]] itself, while investigating Ralei after his death, Inquisitor [[Brehm Sasham]] found this correspondance, and wrote to his superiors "do not be shocked by the identity of its author: an inquisitor more renowned for his Radicalism even than Ralei. Czevak. Ha! To what other crackpot would the master of this Bestiary turn, seeking answers?"{{Fn|2}}
High Inquisitor Czevak was a frail 400 year old man confined within a cryogenic suspension suit to keep his body from failing him.{{Fn|1a}} He was also a prominent [[Thorian]] member of the [[Ordo Xenos]], particularly interested in the study of the [[Eldar]].{{CiteThis}} He was respected enough by the Eldar to spend time as a guest amongst the [[Iyanden]] [[Craftworld]] where he was even invited to attend ''The Dance without End'' by a passing group of [[Harlequins]].{{Fn|1c}}
