Talon Encarmidus
"Terror. Those of us given the onerous and dire responsability of an Inquisitor in the service of the God-Emperor of Manking flatter ourselves that we understand terror.
We face it daily, both in the nightmarish enemies we must confront and in the weight of knowledge that hangs heavy on our hearts. We use it to our own just ends, shaping it in the minds of other as a potter might shape clay. But in our familiarity with terror we can lose sight of its universal thruth; that it is perhaps above all the greatest constant in human experience, perhaps in the experience of all that lives. Savages, warlike and murderous things stalk the stars of our uncaring cosmos, and Mankind is one of them. We are terror incarnate to the alien and the mutant, and the greatest fears of our enemies are reserved for that great and pure distillation of human wrath, the Space Marines. How great then is the tragedy and dread when we must turn them on our own ?"
- Inquisitor Talon Encarmidus[1]
Talon Encarmidus is an Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus.[1]
In 033.M41, he sent to the Conclave of Khorazin accurate documentations of the Badab War. It contains lore about the Chapters involved, their natures, actions, technical specifications of their wargear and arts of battle. It details the latter, darker stages of the conflicts which came after the secession had been suppressed.[1]
