Inquisitor Iosef Dimitrov and his warband
Inquisitor Iosef Dimitrov
Dimitrov is an Istvaanian (see pg 9 of rulebook),
basically that means he pits everyone against everyone
else, trying to create some sort of survival of the
fittest thing. He visits otherwise peaceful planets
and "strengthens" them by starting radical cults which
he then sends against the local authorities,
townspeople, etc. He is a member of the Ordo Malleus,
but has a deep disdain for all things Chaos. He
refuses to carry any sort of demonic weaponry and
carries psyk-out grenades to vanquish beasts of the
warp. He views those who worship or are possessed by
Chaos as tools for his disposal, but he refuses to let
himself be tainted. He is a master of poisons and has
a subtle way with words that can drive the mindless
masses insane with bloodthirsty frenzy (a skill he
employs quite a lot). He often travels and creates
cults under the name "Dark Redeemer." Quite often he
will take viciously zealous or very talented cultists
under his wing and keep them in his warband until they
outlive their usefulness.
Shapht Morane - Thug-for-hire
Shapht is a ruthless, violent hired gun who is well
known in the slums of Thorellis Prime. In actuality,
he is the orphaned son of a wealthy trading family
that was wiped out by a fanatic uprising started by
(ominous music) the Inquisitor that he now works for.
He carries his family heirloom revolver, a modified
stubber, and a stolen automatic shotgun. While he is
not yet aware that Dimitrov was behind his family's
death, he sells his formidable combat ablities to the
highest bidder to finance his quest for revenge.
Mephizion - Daemonhost
Mephizion was a citizen named Joden Harrst until the
Black Flame cult, under the direction of Father
Pallas, bound a Tzeenchian daemon price into poor
Joden's body. Dimitrov views Mephizion as less than an
animal, a hideous abomination on the galaxy that can,
however, be put to good use. Mephizion uses his
powers of Pyromancy and Telepathy to control the minds
of his foes and then set them ablaze. Dimitrov and
his associates are protected from Mephizion's powers
by sigils and wards inscribed by Pallas.
Bayushi & Omushi - Cultist assassins
They have pointy poisoned things all over them. They
are twins. They are mute. They kill very quickly.
They are cultists. They look like swimsuit models
covered in plastic.
Brother Mortes - Cultist fanatic guy
Mortes is a follower of the Black Flame cult and a
disciple of Father Pallas. He carries a chainsword
and a flamer to dice & broil any who oppose his
somewhat morbid views on life. He really is only a
minor character in the campaign, but i felt that i
really needed a cultist.
Father Pallas - Cultist Psyker
Pallas was leader of the Black Flame cult on Thorellis
Prime until Dimitrov arrived and assumed command.
Pallas bowed to Dimitrov's superior skill and
equipment, but is a very wise man and well-versed in
the demonic. He would jump at the chance to put a
knife between Dimitrov's ribs and is biding his time
until the Inquisitor's grip on the cult begins to
wane. He is the teacher of Mortes and the creator of
the Daemonhost Mephizion.
Incidentally, Dimitrov's enemies OUTSIDE his warband
are mainly the warband of rival Ordo Malleus
Inquisitor Gravidius and his band of merry men
(including an Arcoflagellant named Smock).
