'''The Holy Orders of the Emperor's Inquisition''', more commonly known as the '''Inquisition''', are the powerful secret police of the [[Imperium]] responsible for guarding the souls of [[humanity]]. The purpose of the Inquisition is to identify and destroy the myriad of potential threats to the Imperium and humanity. Such is the Inquisition's power that it answers only to the [[Emperor]].{{Fn|27}}
Founded in the aftermath of the [[Horus Heresy]], the organisation's members are agents known as [[Inquisitor]]s.{{Fn|6}}
