→Inquisitor: Fixed typo
Surviving the Heresy, Sindermann went on to become one of the founders of the [[Inquisition]]. He took on a new identity: '''Lastan Neemagiun Veritus'''. For the next 1,500 years Sindermann was kept alive by arcane technologies and an ornate suit of [[Power Armour]].{{Cite this}}
By the time of the [[War of the Beast]] "Veritus" became known as a veteran [[Puritan]] who was apparently fanatically devoted to the [[Imperial Cult]]. He viewed the [[Inquisition]] as the supreme organ of power in the [[Imperium]]. To Veritus, the Inquisition was not a supervising agency but a an organ of direct rule over [[Humanity]]. Even the [[High Lords of Terra]] were to be directly subordinate to the Inquisition, and Veritus desired to rein them in and usher in Inquisitorial supremacy over the [[Adeptus Terra]]. His opportunity came when he called a Conclave against [[Inquisitorial Representative]] [[Wienand]], accusing her of handling [[The Beast]] ineffectively and becoming corrupted by the [[Senatorum Imperialis]].{{Fn|6a}}
The Conclave ultimately failed to oust Wienand from her position, forcing Veritus to take more direct means. He deployed his agents to attempt to assassinate the Inquisitor. Wienand was saved thanks to the efforts of [[Esad Wire]], but forced to fake her death and go into hiding.{{Fn|6b}} In the aftermath, Veritus was appointed the new Inquisitorial Representative and everybody expected him to clash with the most powerful High Lords [[Lansung]]. However despite publicly admonishing one another, [[Drakan Vangorich]] suspects the two are really in league.{{Fn|6c}} Following the fall of Lansung from grace after the appearance of an Ork [[Attack Moon]] over Terra, Veritus abandoned Lansung with the rest of the High Lords and continued his attempt to get rid of Wienand after quickly discovering her deception. He then made a move on Wienand's ally Vangorich, though the [[Grand Master of Assassins]] was able to have one of his own agents kill the sniper sent to dispatch him.{{Fn|7a}}
