→History
After the formation of the [[Great Rift]], Cartavolnus saw combating its expansion and corruption as his holy duty. To that end he has deployed to the [[Vigilus]] warzone in an effort to topple [[Blackstone]] constructs magnifying the Warp known as [[Noctilith Crown]]s. At [[Nemendghast]], the Inquisitor infiltrated the surface and uncovered the Noctilith Crown erected by a [[Black Legion]] [[Master of Possession]]. Realizing these foes were beyond his means to destroy, he contacted the [[Ultramarines]] and requested aid.{{Fn|2}} At Hive Mortwald, Cartavolnus only narrowly escaped from the [[Black Legion]] [[Sorcerer]] [[Xagramothis]] due to the intervention of [[Saint Celestine]].{{Fn|3c}}
During the [[Sangua Terran War|invasion of Sangua Terra]] as part of the greater [[Nachmund Rift War]], Cartavolnus helped take part in the defenses , but eventually came to see the effort as futile. He now secretly seeks to close the entire Nachmund Rift in order to protect the [[Imperium Sanctus]].{{Fn|3b}}
Cartavolnus maintains the [[Black Iconoclasts]] as his personal fighting force. These are elite hand-picked specialists recruited from a variety of backgrounds , including the [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Mechanicum]].{{Fn|2}}
