'''Solomon Lok''' was the [[Ordo Xenos]] [[Inquisitor]] charged with investigating the sudden loss of contact from a research facility on [[Beta Anphelion IV]] in 850.[[M41]].
Meanwhile the Cadians at one of the lab complexes were attacked and overwhelmed, with them Biologis Arthon. At the command complex the Elysians were attacked from below by [[Ravener]]s and a [[Trygon]] (it should be noticed that this was the first time a Trygon was encountered in recorded history) and a force of Elysians and Cadians were attacked by Harridans. The Red Scorpion terminators attempted to return to the command complex but floating spore sacks caused them to crash-land. The rest of the [[chapter]]'s forces, in defiance of Lok's orders, set out to rescue the terminators. They arrived to the clash and roars of battle; the terminators were surrounded. The releif column made a sucessful rescue and returned to base. They arrived in time to aid the garrison who had again come under attack. After the fight, the Red Scorpions received orders to evacuate themselves, and only themselves. The transport requisitioned for the mission refused all of Lok's requests, stranding Lok and the small force of survivors on the moon as the Tyranids closed in. In the last battle, Lok succeeded in taking down an [[Hierophant]] Bio-titan, only to see two more stride out of the ammonia fog.
Solomon Lok was an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, veteran, notably, of the Chincare Hrud Infestation. His retinue consisted of Autosavant Wassily, who kept a log of the Anphelion incident to the end, [[Astropath ]] Zarneck, who transmitted the log to Lord Varius, Lok's superior, a servo skull, and Major Durra, [[Detachment D-99]]. He died betrayed by his superiors and his faith.
