Xavier Mendoza

Xavier Mendoza is possibly one of the most notorious Inquisitors in the history of the Imperium. A fanatical man, he quashed Chaos wherever he found it. Immediately following the Horus Heresy he became convinced that all Space Marines were servants of Chaos and began an all-out Holy War against the remaining loyal Adeptus Astartes. Mendoza's action came to a head when he boarded a cruiser of the newly formed Black Templars chapter. He accused the crew of harbouring Daemons and declared them heretics. After a swift trial, fifty Space Marines were burnt at the stake. Xavier Mendoza was later found dead, probably assassinated
