- Lord Inquisitor Barborosa, ''Lessons in Defending His Spiritual Realm'' | |||
A venerated Inquisitor of the Eternum conclave, Lord Inquisitor Barborosa inherited his mentor [[Lord Inquisitor Charlemagne's]] position upon his demise. A fervant puritan, Barborosa has worked tirelessly to thwart the plans of Nurgle and his daemons, an effort which has kept Eternum safe save a rare failure of his massive intelligence apparatus. A core defender of The [[Tideshifter]], the Lord Inquisitor and his strike force the Hammer of Judgement, can be running multiple operations to keep the sector functioning, frequently fighting the worst of the Rotbelchers and their daemons. Excelling at exorcism and banishing daemons, his skills would be needed more than ever with the coming of the Second Poxwar. | |||
A particular long lived Ordo Malleus and psychic Inquisitor, Barborasa has built a sizable retinue and personal army to assist his missions across Eternum. Inquisitor Barborasa's flagship is the grand cruiser ''Library of Judgment,'' though the Conclave contains several other ships of varying classes including cruisers, light cruisers, and escorts, with only the ''Library of Judgment'' and the other Lord Inquisitor flagships allowed to carry cyclonic torpedoes. These ships are capable of dealing with most standard enemies the conclave will face, but any serious engagement will be accompanied by requisitioned Imperial Navy forces from [[Battlefleet Eternum]]. Barborasa has worked closely with [[Justicar Tycho Ectar]] in recent years, himself feeling the psychic shockwave the Bubonic Rift emanates. | A particular long lived Ordo Malleus and psychic Inquisitor, Barborasa has built a sizable retinue and personal army to assist his missions across Eternum.

Dompert works closely in the Caligulas subsector, rooting out any plagues or cultist conspiracy that threatens the Aural gate and its supporting worlds. | ||
The newest member of the conclave, [[Lord Inquisitor Alisabeth Baccarin]] of the Ordo Xenos, was posthumously recommended by her conclave predecessor, Ordo Xenos Lord Inquisitor Pyotr Yakarov who was believed to be killed by xenos during an investigation into odd augar readings in Richmon. Though no body was found, the disappearance left a void in the council she filled according to his death-writ. Hailing from outside sector Eternum and making her career hunting xenos in Segmentum Ultima, she nonetheless was a welcome addition owing to the resurgence of the ork threat and increased Eldar activity, and suspicions that even more xenos activity was to come. A more moderate Inquisitor, Baccarin has used and still uses xeno weaponry and devices, leading to suspicion among some of the conclave. Still, her political connections outside of Eternum ensure she's left alone, and she is currently investigating Inquisitor Rico's reports of an impending tyranid invasion, while at the same time looking into odd activities on the world Riker. | The newest member of the conclave, [[Lord Inquisitor Alisabeth Baccarin]] of the Ordo Xenos, was posthumously recommended by her conclave predecessor, Ordo Xenos Lord Inquisitor Pyotr Yakarov who was believed to be killed by xenos during an investigation into odd augar readings in Richmon.

As befitting a regiment of an Inquisitor, the Judgement has an extensive armory and possesses some of the best crafted items in the sector and the Judgement is rarely seen without a fleet of Taurox Primes, Valkyries, or Vendettas. Each vehicle is marked with their respective cohort and squad's letter and number (ex. Alpha Cohort First Squad's Taurox has a A and 1 on it). The force is split into two sections, the strike force (which is deployed on missions, accompanies the Lord Inquisitor and his subordinates in the field, and is the more elite and experienced section), and the security detachment (who guard the Inquisitor's outposts, facilities and ships). New recruits (after training) are sent to the security detachment until the unit's commanders believe them ready for more intense combat. Although they're expected to see less combat in their role, they share the loadout of the strike force although special weapons are regulated to one per squad and there is a vastly different organization. Not all facilities are secret, and thus the security forces can expect to deal with the occasional jumped up greedy noble paid mercenaries and cultist raids, although more rarely heretic astartes or xenos may try to claim the facility's possessions or research for their own. The strike force as a whole, while effective, is nonetheless not a proper army and is designed for surgical strikes and missions or defense of Inquisitorial assets.
