Suffering Marshal
Suffering Marshals are officers employed by the Adeptus Arbites for the purpose of tracking down and apprehending fugitives.
Suffering Marshals are chosen for both their patience and their absolute dedication to the Lex Imperialis. Free from the traditional bureaucracy and oversight of the Arbites, Suffering Marshals are often stationed on frontier worlds and employ a great deal of personal discretion in their duties. As a result Precinct Marshals of the Court will only nominate the most promising, incorruptible, and legally devoted candidates. They are often trusted representatives of the Adeptus Terra on primitive far-away worlds and they use their local connections to cultivate a network of informants and resources. When they are charged with hunting down a fugitive, Suffering Marshals are pitiless and relentless. For this reason they are sometimes used by Inquisitors who are attempting to track down their own quarry.[1]
