'''Drogan''' was an [[Inquisitor]] of the [[Ordo Xenos]].{{Fn|1}}
Many years ago, Drogan was captured by [[Xenos]] and horribly tortured for years. This left a great hatred for aliens that made him resolve to find a way to destroy the alien threats facing the Imperium.{{Fn|2}} During a journey through the [[Warp]], Drogan let his [[psychic]] defenses down (a dangerous thing for a [[psyker]]) and a spark of Warp energy appeared before him. Upon a second trip, he was able to summon another spark and capture it in a containment device. With the blessing of his superiors in the Inquisition, Drogan began researching a means to use it against the enemies of the Imperium.{{Fn|1}}
Drogan arrived on the [[Forge World]] [[Graia]] and had his research in mind when he arrived. Drogan had enticed [[tech-priest]]s of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to allow him to conduct his research for the greater good of the Imperium. However, Drogan's experiment had drawn the attention and hire of the Ruinous Powers, and a [[daemon]] of [[Chaos]] was sent forth to retrieve the spark. The Daemon killed Drogan and took possession of his corpse, as evident by [[Servo-skull]]s found by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Titus (Captain)|Titus]] of the [[Ultramarines]]. What was left of Drogan was little more than a flesh puppet, a disguise for the daemon to wear on its grim quest. Before he died, Drogan sent a distress signal for assistance. Captain Titus was the first of the Adeptus Astartes to answer. "Drogan" tasked the Ultramarines on various tasks to help further his plan - to open a warp gate to Graia and allow [[The Chosen of Nemeroth]] to come and take over the planet and its valuable resources, notably a [[Warlord Titan]]. "Drogan" told the Ultramarines that the power source was indeed fueled by the warp, leading [[Leandros]], a member of the squad to state his grievances with the actions being taken by Captain Titus, due to Leandros's belief in the [[Codex Astartes]]. Titus reassured Leandros that the Codex was merely a guide and the plan continued. "Drogan" led Titus to load the power source into a launcher and fire the weapon, which would allegedly lead to a psychic scourge which would kill the [[Orks]] on Graia. Instead, when the weapon was fired at a spire of the [[Mechanicum]], which was the conductor for its power, it allowed the chaos invasion to begin by opening a massive [[warp storm]] over the planet. It was at that moment that the charade ended, as Lord Nemeroth stripped his servant of its disguise. Drogan's actions eventually led to Captain Titus stopping the Ork invasion, killing Lord Nemeroth and being taken for questioning by Inquisitor [[Thrax]].{{Fn|1}}

Though Titus was eventually deemed free of [[heresy]], his experiences with Drogan and Thrax would forever alter the [[Ultramarine]]'s opinions, and dealings with [[Inquisitor]]s.{{Fn|3}}
