So if I've got this right, so far we have a Psyker, a Tech-Priest, and Assassin, and a retired Imperial Guard Commissar. Is that correct?

@Khulod Try going to the character library and setting the filter for Fate Core.

(Pending Xohgr's approval):
My character was a Primaris Psyker linked to the Imperial Guard who fought an enormous war on a daemon-infested planet. During the conflict my character was horrendously injured, but he was saved by the Magos (Xohgr's character) through invasive cybernetic reconstruction so he might be used in the final conflict. All was in vain and the planet was lost. The Inquisition pulled out the assets worth saving (including the Magos and Primaris Psyker) before unleasing Exterminatus to cover up the Imperium's failing. In order to keep the secret, our two characters remained with the Inquisition.

Shall we say Inquisitor Killain was the one that saved you? Perhaps despite the urgings of other Inquisitors?
Jul 27, 2022 7:12 pm
Maybe Killain was the only Inquisitor at the engagement. Other Inquisitors may later have bickered at how he handled the situation, sure.
Jul 27, 2022 7:16 pm
Then I'd like to change the reason for Exterminatus to Killain deciding the world was beyond saving. Whether or not he was right can be the subject of debate.

Just throwing ideas: I believe Xohgr wants to play a Magos Ordinatus. If there was an Ordinatus weapon on the surface and abandoned to destruction, Killain definitely would have received flak from the Adeptus Mechanicus. Xohgr's character may also be ostracized as a result.
Jul 27, 2022 7:25 pm
That sounds fun. Btw, Killain will not be accompanying you on the missions he sends you on. He sends you all somewhere when he needs a problem tended to but can't give it his full attention.
Jul 27, 2022 7:29 pm
Of course. Just throwing out ideas how our characters might have been recruited and the aftermath it might cause for our individuals characters. Xohgr has to like this too of course. I'll wait for him to weigh in.

My thought for the commissar was that during a xenos invasion of his settled planet he becomes a prominent leader in the local militia, helping to defend it with the inquisitors help. They could also have crossed paths during his active service if that works better?

How does this backstory sound to you, DM?
[ +- ] Antonius Orastant: Feared Spymaster of the Unknowable Double-Helix
Inquisitor Killain had heard of the exploits and actions of this incognito agent of the Logis Strategos, who doubles as an agent of the Officio Medicae. He heard that this person was working on a plague on a pandemic scale on this particular planet, and he discovered some strange political factions in the local governments on that planet channeling Chaos into their planet in order to exert control over the populace, and in so doing, their power plays affected the tithes sent back to the Imperium.
This fabled agent, somehow, managed to weaponize the plague, and used "strategic placement" of the virus to bring the populace against the magistrates of the local government to the whims of the populace. Though there is no paper trail other than the redacted espionage reports in the Adeptus Administratum, this agent was somehow not only able to bring the local government under tighter control, but he was able to do that in a way that, in the micro level, it seemed as though it was a natural occurrence, rather than an orchestrated series of events.
There were about 500 different Officio Medicae agents on that particular planetary system at that time, helping curb the pandemic, Killain was not able to ascertain who that agent was, until days after receiving his inquisition assignment, an unaddressed message came to him from an agent of the Officio Medicae, an Antonius Orastant of the Order of the Unknowable Double-Helix, asking if he could be assigned under this inquisitor's squad for strategic use.

I am drained from work. My brain is fried. Sorry for leaving you all hanging. As was said, I am leaning toward Magos Dominus. I will try to be more involved after I recover.
