The Inquisitorial Rosette of the Imperial Inquisition.
Seibel was an Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus who was tasked with watching over the Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World of Graia after the attempted Ork and Chaos invasion orchestrated by the Chaos Sorcerer Nemeroth during the events of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. It was Seibel who requested that the Ultramarines Chapter send aid to Graia once a second Chaos incursion began on Graia that was initiated by the Heretic Astartes Sorcerer Lord Tumulus Samael.
Seibel is a primary non-player character in the 2023 retro first person shooter video game Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.
History[]
Several standard years after the events of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine on the vital Forge World of Graia, the Sternguard Veteran Malum Caedo and several of his brethren from the Ultramarines Chapter's Veteran 1st Company were sent by the Inquisition back to Graia on a mission of great importance.
Since the Ork and Chaos invasions of Graia that had been unleashed upon the Forge World by the machinations of the Chaos Sorcerer Nemeroth several standard years before, the Inquisition had kept Graia closely watched for the emergence of further threats. Inquisitor Seibel of the Ordo Malleus revealed that rogue Tech-priests of Graia had experimented with the remains of the late Inquisitor Drogan's unstable and unique Warp-based power source -- a small cylinder wreathed in potent blue energies -- and the experiments had resulted in the opening of a Warp rift that allowed the forces of Chaos to once more invade the Forge World. Malum Caedo and his Sternguard Veteran Squad were tasked with retrieving the power source with the aid of a Servo-skull that had once belonged to Drogan.
When the Ultramarines make planetfall, their Drop Pod was severely damaged during the descent and crash-landed on the planet's surface, leaving Malum Caedo as the sole survivor. As Caedo valiantly fought his way single-handedly through the Chaos forces, including Chaos Cultists, Heretic Astartes and Daemons, it was discovered that the Chaos incursion's leader, a Heretic Astartes Chaos Sorcerer named Tumulus Samael, sought the power source for his own nefarious plans to transform Graia into a Daemon World under his control. The sorcerer had already managed to learn the location of the power source fragment and Caedo raced to stop him.
When Caedo reached the Adeptus Mechanicus vault containing the power source, Samael appeared and gloated that he had already taken the power source. The sorcerer and his minions attacked the orbital void station above Graia and used the power source to enlarge the Warp rift that threatened to engulf Graia and the entire sector.
Malum fought his way through the void station before finally reaching Samael, and after a grueling fight, the Sternguard Veteran managed to slay the sorcerer. Inquisitor Seibel arrived at the void station soon after and retrieved the power source for the Inquisition. Without the power source, the Warp rift began to close, but Seibel warned that there were still many Chaos forces left active on Graia, and Malum Caedo prepared for the trials he had yet to face.
