|Caption =Gideon Ravenor, shortly before the Thracian Atrocity{{Fn|10}}
In spite of his crippled body, Ravenor's intellect and dedication to his duties remained undiminished. From his confinement, he analyzed the reports received from Eisenhorn during the latter's years-long search for the rogue Inquisitor [[Quixos]], and identified a vital clue that directed Eisenhorn's strike team to Quixos's secret base on [[Farness Beta]], rather than his fortress headquarters on [[Maginor]].{{Fn|2e}}
=== Inquisitorial Career career ===
Ravenor was later promoted to full [[Inquisitor]], on Eisenhorn's recommendation, in 346.[[M41]].{{Fn|3b}}
* '''[[Zeph Mathuin]]''' — Silent ex-bounty hunter. Ill tempered and heavily armed. Because of an apparent natural affinity he was Ravenor's favourite vessel for waring. Mathuin favoured a multi-barrel rotator cannon. He was killed by a daemon during the events of Ravenor Returned.
* '''[[Wystan Frauka]]''' — An '[[Blank|Untouchable]]', a man with the latent ability to block out psychic activity. Big, chain-smoking and disliked by pretty much everyone (in part because of his psychic blankness. It was mentioned in Xenos that the field untouchables project also creates a sense of fear, revulsion and dread in others.). An interesting difference to the Eisenhorn novels is Frauka's so-called inhibitor, a device allowing him to shut down his natural anti-psi field. He is often found passing the time by reading pornographic data-slates or staring at the female members of the team.
* '''[[Zael Effernetti]] ''' — A boy, about 14 years old, addicted to [[Flect|flectsflect]] s when he first appears. In the wake of Ravenor's investigation to uncover the source of the flects, Zael gets taken along for being able to "hear" the telepathic communication between Ravenor and Nayl. He is a psychic "mirror," with no real psychic capabilities of his own. As well as his precognitive abilities, he is able to use the psychic powers of others in his vicinity but not for an extended period of time. He also shared Frauka's attraction to pornography. After Ravenor was apprehended as a Rogue, Zael was eventually handed over to the [[Grey Knights]] as a recruit. As with all Grey Knights, Zael's memories were erased and he became the individual named Hyperion.{{Fn|11a}} As a Grey Knight, Hyperion's distinctions include surviving the [[First War of Armageddon]], where he used his considerable abilities to shatter [[Angron]]'s [[Black Blade]],{{Fn|11b}} and being promoted to the rank of [[Prognosticar]].{{Fn|11c}}
* '''[[Maud Plyton]]''' — An ex-Magistrum marshal who during investigation of a suspected suicide stumbles across a secret central to the plans of a world wide conspiracy on the planet Eustis Majoris to recreate a powerful warp based language. She joins Ravenor after she and her family are targeted for assassination. She is noted to having cute facial features that clash with her no nonsense martial appearance.
* '''[[Cynia Preest]]''' — Captain of the Hinterlight, a rogue trade ship regularly employed by Ravenor. The Hinterlight is equipped with a custom-built stealth device partly comprised of alien technology, partly powered by Ravenor's own considerable psychic powers.
