'''Cartensus''' was an [[Ordo Malleus]] [[Inquisitor]] who served for 300 years and was one of the Ordos' foremost experts on the banishment of [[Daemons]].{{Fn|1}}
His study on the nature and workings of [[Daemons]], kept Cartensus' personal safe house on [[Scartia Dorath]] filled with many [[Heretical]] items. The most dreadful artefact was the 9 tomes of the [[Aevum Crucia]], which contained the collected names of the [[Lord of Change]] known as the [[Prince of Silver Tears]]. Despite having such a profane collection, Cartensus had little in the way of defenses, as Scartia Dorath was ravaged by solar storms and radiation cascades. It was also located within a labyrinth of crystalline [[asteroid fieldsfield]]s, that only the Inquisitor and a few trusted companions knew the coordinates needed to reach the world. Among them was the [[Grey Knights]] [[Justicar]] [[Ulleceus Barron]], who Cartensus called upon for aid after the [[Thousand Sons]], somehow managed to reach Scartia Dorath. The Traitors had come to claim the Inquisitor's Heretical collection, but he had hidden the tomes of the Aevum Crucia across the surface of his world. After the Thousand Sons had killed his [[Acolytes]], their [[Sorcerers]] were able to tear the location of 7 of the tomes from his mind. Afterwards they left him for dead and began searching Scartia Dorath for the Aevum Crucia. Justicar Barron later arrived at Cartensus' home and the dying Inquisitor used his last worlds to warn the Grey Knight of what the Thousand Sons were searching for.{{Fn|1}}
