  You know there has to be <i>at least</i> one time that an inquisitorial chain of authority has gotten twisted into a loop. It makes me imagine a situation where, like 50 years after submitting some kind of request for authorization, some poor inquisitor gets it put on his desk and it&apos;s his own requisition.

  The imperial inquisition: what you get if the Gestapo, the Spanish Inquisition, the KGB, had a baby that was then given unrestricted access to a nuclear arsenal.

  The Emperor&apos;s most holy Inquisition has never failed or ever made any mistakes. If they ever had, surely there would be records of it somewhere? As such a thing does not exist you best return to your duties, citizen. -Guardsman tasked with overseeing a group of 5th generation indentured servants from Karthargo.

  In my mind, Ordo Sicarius was created to keep the Imperium-crushing ego of Cato Sicarius in check.

  The Inquisition, the best double edged sword in the Imperium&apos;s arsenal.

  That&apos;s one thing I love about the eisenhorn trilogy. The change he undergoes is so subtle and gradual that you don&apos;t even realize it.

  In the classic 40K (pre Girlyman returns) there was one organization with the higher power than the Inquisition, that&apos;s the Adeptus Custodes. His Most Holy Custodians have the Magisterium Lex Ultima and can command every institution of the Imperium to do their bidding, even the Inquisition was lower than them. Nowadays Rowboat has the highest authority in the Imperium.

  There are a handful of groups that the Inquisition cannot compel. The Adeptus Astronomica, for instance - the group that staffs the Astronomican on Holy Terra - is entirely within their rights to tell the Inquisition to pound sand if they don&apos;t feel like allowing an Inquisitor in to have a look. Given that without the Astronomican in good working order, interstellar travel would pretty much come to an end, no one really wants to push that organization very far.

  The tech the Inquisition has is OP and hilarious. It must have been an ork mek secretly under an inquisitors payroll that decided to make a device to teleport someone about to be shot, instead of you know... just stopping the bullet lol
