Hezika Carmillus

Hezika Carmillus is an Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, and acting Inquisitor of the Chamber to Watch Fortress Erioch. Though known for her violent and martial nature, the Inquisitor is also subtle and cunning.

She is depicted as tall and blade-thin, wearing exoskeletal enhanced armour at all times, and keeps a court of diverse and deadly warriors, collected from dozens of worlds, at her beck and call. Her voice is silken honey at one moment and unyielding steel the next as she desires.

History
Inquisitor Hezika Carmillus of the Ordo Xenos has served the Holy Ordos for over three centuries. In that time, she has led pogroms that have scoured xenos infestations from a dozen worlds, condemned and executed Lord Commanders and Admirals, broken influential and traitorous Rogue Traders, and denounced Radicalism amongst her own kind.

Carmillus will not, under any circumstances, allow herself to be perceived as anything other than what she is: a warrior savant in the service of the God-Emperor of Mankind.

She is undaunted by the super-human killers of the Deathwatch, whose company her duty now bids her keep, and she will brook no challenges to her authority, in particular by other Inquisitors, although she is ever-conscious of its limitations.

Carmillus has been the Inquisitor of the Chamber and mistress of the Tower of Brass for sixteen years and has executed her sworn tasks with precise dedication and utter ruthlessness. While possessing a warlike temperament, she is also highly intelligent and subtle.

These traits make her an ideal emissary to the domain of the Deathwatch and well equipped to deal with its Adeptus Astartes masters.

She has voiced the opinion in the Chamber that, although she is in favour of the Achilus Crusade, a contingency plan should be drawn up to destroy the Jericho-Maw Warp Gate should the crusade suffer catastrophic failure. She believes that the Warp Gate possesses a vast threat if it is no longer under the Imperium's direct control. Much of her other motivations, however, remain a tightly-held secret.
