Sorry for butting in, but I felt like I should have noted some things. My bad happen off nitpicking the canon again. First of all Patt precisely what kind of Storm Trooper is Frost? I know he's not a proper IST because they are not, nor were they ever part of the Imperial Guard, as they are recruited directly from the Schola Progenium into the service of the Inquisition. Furthermore if he was a Tempestus Scion that was recruited into the service of Heinrich then he would not have been part of a regiment. So I can only assume that he is a Grenadier, a form of Elite Soldier that is trained among the Regiments, but is not officially recognized by the Imperium. Also FYI if he was either of the former two options (IST or Tempestus Scion) He would not have a family, and he most certainly would not be compassionate. Yes I know Guardsmen are people too, but IST and Scions are raised in the Schola Progenium, which teaches them that the Emperor is their only family and to put service to him above all else. They live only for their work. You can think of the Schola Progenium as being a brainwashing machine that takes orphans and turns them into efficient, pitiless servants of the Imperium.

Regarding what ZIXIS said about the IMperium and knowledge of Chaos, the upper echelons of the Ecclesiarchy knows a little about the basics of Chaos. Also anyone that professed to worship a god besides the Emperor would be labeled a heretic and punished, even if the Priests didn't understand the force associated with the name. Having said all of that ZIXIS is right to tell you to edit it, as the rank and file Priests would not know about Chaos. For that matter I am more surprised that Heinrich would simply kill them outright, not because of some moral reason, but because where there's one Chaos cultist there are inevitably more, and most Inquisitors would prefer to torture the name of the cultists' associates out of them before executing them.
