A [[Puritan]], he condemns the use of [[Daemonhost]]s and Chaos artifacts even in order to fight it. Despite this, he himself maintains a library of arcane lore and specializes in rituals binding the daemonic. Cartavolnus believes himself pure from the heresies and corruption that has befallen his [[Radical]] counterparts, maintaining strict discipline that the use of his advanced agedark lore only be used for holy purposes. During the battle on [[Agrofar]] against a mutated [[Chaos Sorcerer]] of [[Nurgle]] known as [[Grolgafax]], Cartavolnus still strides lost an arm slaying the foul creature. It took years for the battlefield Inquisitor to fully free his limb from lingering rot and chaos taint. Like many Inquisitors, Cratavolnus maintains ties with others of his order. He is a Reclamator-Emeritus of the Dzijeni Conclave, which operates in search the [[Nachmund Sector]] as well as a Magister of the Khandar Brotherhood and a representative of the Vorkhan Defenders.
