The Flower and the Flame [NPC Thread]

[The_Vomacht]

Hey guys, this is the thread where I'll be putting a list of all the NPCs, together with a brief description. First up:

Inquisitor Globus Vaarak:Vaarak's long years of service to the Inquisition have cost him dearly. Severely wounded as an Interrogator while boarding a pirate ship, Vaarak's body is broken, scarred and bloated. Both his legs were amputated and he moves by means of a robust mechanical vehicle with mechanical legs and an inbuilt life-support system. His face is horribly burned and pockmarked, with tubes running from his nostrils and mouth to help him breathe. One arm was also lost and has been replaced with an obvious bionic limb. Vaarak is constantly surrounded by a group of hovering Familiars, modified skulls and otherwise, that orbit about him like tiny satellites about a grotesquely bloated star.

Vaarak is an Amalthian Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus. He sincerely believes that, rotted and corrupt as the Imperium is, it must remain in its current form to survive. To this end, he specializes in hunting internal threats to the Imperium: heretics, rebels and traitors. He generally uses subtle means, working through acolyte cells and seldom showing his hand until it is time to strike.

Recently, Vaarak backed Inquisitor Cortez during his much publicized trial. He has remained officially neutral in the purging of the Ordo Xenos in the Calixis sector. though privately he is deeply suspicious of those who would put so many of his fellow Inquisitors to death.
