'''Emil Darkhammer''' is a [[Puritan]] [[Monodominant]] [[Inquisitor]] of the [[Ordo Xenos]] and the arch-enemy of [[Radical]] Inquisitor [[Helynna Valeria]]. A strict [[Monodominant]], Darkhammer views all alien technology as an affront and threat to humanity.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
[[Image:EmilDarkhammer.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Emil Darkhammer{{Fn|2}}]]
In pursuance of his extreme creed of purity that goes with his [[Monodominant]] philosophy, Darkhammer has enacted [[Exterminatus]] on over thirty worlds. Sometimes this has been to end wars, corruption, or plague, but also sometimes to destroy a mere handful of insurgents or aliens or obliterate a single [[Warp]]-tainted artifact sought after by his Radical colleague, Valeria. His actions have polarized the Inquisition, with some viewing him as a beacon of righteousness while others see him as only slightly less destructive than the [[Daemon]]s of the Warp. Only on a few occasions has Darkhammer stayed his hand, most notably after the [[First War of Armageddon]]. There, he commuted an Exterminatus order to a program of mass-execution and mind-wipe, largely because he feared retaliation from the nearby [[Space Wolves]].{{Fn|2}}
