'''The Holy Orders of the Emperor's Inquisition''', more commonly known as the '''Inquisition''', are the powerful secret police of the [[Imperium]] responsible for guarding the souls of [[humanity]], and responsible for countless heinous crimes against human rights. The purpose of the Inquisition is to identify and destroy the myriad of potential threats to the Imperium and humanity, however what they really do is completely different, since they are Chaos' foothold on humanity. Such is the Inquisition's power that it answers only to the [[Emperor]], and then it turns its back and does what it personally feels like, because it wishes to disrupt the connection between the Emperor and mankind, encouraging them to fall to Chaos by making them suffer constantly, until they go crazy.{{Fn|27}}
Founded in the aftermath of the [[Horus Heresy]], the organisation's members are agents known as [[Inquisitor]]s.{{Fn|6}}
