09/24/09(Thu)18:31 No.5993263From the Journals of Inquisitor Vownus Kaede, 5.304.722.M41 I have stumbled upon a remarkable account that describes an individual of great interest. His name is Adept Castus Grendel. The reports I have gathered indicate that Adept Grendel is in the service of Inquisitor Vogen...a most unimaginative colleague. What grasped my attention is that there are several reports from Vogen that describe Adept Grendel’s survival against staggering odds. Beginning with some cult activity on Scintilla and ending with an explosive battle on the Hive World of Cantus against both daemons and aliens, this Grendel has prevailed where many others would not. I am no Thorian, but I know that Vogen is a follower of those teachings. Perhaps he is grooming this Adept, watching his progress and waiting to see the Emperor’s hand revealed in this Adept’s unlikely prowess. However, I have discovered that Vogen’s acolyte has drawn attention from other quarters as well, including Rykehuss... and my informants tell me that Rykehuss is convinced that the only explanation for the Adepts continued survival is that the acolyte is in league with the very forces he is sent to confront! Furthermore, he claims the conflicts surrounding this Adept were all engineered for the very purpose of deceiving the Inquisition and distracting the Ordos from far more important matters. Although this sort of short-sightedness is typical of Rykehuss, in this instance I feel some caution is warranted. I possess a pict-capture of Adept Grendel, sent to me by one of my agents. In the image, Grendel is accompanied by an Adepta Sororitas, but this Battle Sister does not match any known profile of the local Convent. This false Sister, then, may be guiding this Adept Grendel... or pulling the puppet strings herself. I have dispatched my own Throne Agents to investigate. I must know the truth, if only to frustrate the efforts of Rykehuss one last time! |
