|align=center|'''''One cannot consider the fate of a single man, nor ten, nor a hundred, nor a thousand. Billions will live or die by our actions here, and we have not the luxury to count the cost.'''''<br>- [[Inquisitor]] '''Kryptmann''' (presumably [[Kryptman]])
|align=center|[[Apocalypse]],<br> pg. 12
|align=center|'''''We are neither spies, soldiers, nor enforcers, yet we are all these at once. We are whatever the Imperium needs us to be. We alone know the horrors that await Mankind should the Imperium fall, so we alone are willing to do whatever it takes to prevent it. Whatever that makes us.'''''

|align=center|'''''They call me shameless gambler. They call me reckless menace. They call me murderer.'''''
<br> '''''Do they not understand what is at stake?'''''
<br> '''''What is the loss of a billion souls against extinction? What is the loss of a trillion, a quadrillion more yet? When doom is the alternative, we must be willing to pay any price. It is a simple question of logic, one that my former peers refuse to acknowledge. They do not realise that it is the Inquisitor’s sacrifice to lose their Humanity in order to save the species. There is no room in this galaxy for thoughts of compassion, mercy or kindness. Not for those of us with knowledge - that gift and curse both. Instead, there is nought but duty.'''''
<br> '''''Humanity will only survive by the actions of those hearts of ice and stone, and minds of sharpened steel.'''''
<br> '''''I am no gambler, menace or murderer. I am an assessor of the facts and a taker of action. Those who scorn me will see that I am right before all this is done.'''''
