Dark Heresy: Under A Vast Grey Sky Characters


Greetings!

For the last few weeks we've been playing in a Dark Heresy game called Under A Vast Grey Sky.  In this game, the players have been charged by the Ordo Hereticus to root out the taint of heresy on the planet Lucruzu Prime, deep in the Vae Salubrious subsector of Mardannon.  Here they have run across several issues, and the investigation hasn't gone according to plan at all - mostly because there hasn't been one.

I've been trying to compile some data on the characters, but they are quite - elusive.  I present here a short primer on a few of the agents of the Inquisition present on Lucruzu, from the point of the view of the Ordo Hereticus, going clockwise in the photo-log above. This represents Inquisitor Mandera's main operative cell.


  • Able - One of the 'Sons of Vittium' hive gang, this youthful acolyte was given to Mandera as part of a tithe from the gang itself.  Assigned to Lucruzu mission with the rest of the hive gangers.
  • Kull - Not much is known about where this feral warrior originated, but he has been one of Comptroller Bosch's bodyguards for several years.  Assigned to Lucruzu Prime to provide added muscle to the unit.
  • Khan - An acolyte drawn from the holds of the Abyssinia, an ancient Chartist vessel, this adept bears Inquisitor Mandera's rosette.  He has been involved in the Inquisitor's machinations for some time, without knowledge of such.  Activated to act as liaison to Imperial institutions planetside.
  • Lizzie -  Originally from Attono Vittium, this plucky hive scum somehow managed to stow away aboard the Abyssinia after the Inquisitor gathered his agents from there.  She was sentenced to death by the ship's security ratings, but Comptroller Bosch noted that she had enough wit to get aboard the ship in the first place.  Lizzie was made to swear allegiance to the ordo, and sent planetside with the others to test her value.
  • Shi-319 - A death cult assassin long sworn to the service of the Emperor, this mysterious figure is absolutely unfathomable.  Even the gender is unknown.
  • Murkul - The tech priest of the group has also only been recently activated to direct Inquisitorial service, and was aboard the Abyssinia for the last part of it's long trade route.  Since arriving planetside, he has spent a great deal of time securing weapons from the manufactorums in Domagoshch.
  • Caine - Another hive ganger from Attono Vittium, this older warrior served in the Xenos Wars on that world against the vile Eldar.  Activated along with other elements from Attono Vittium, this acolyte was added to the unit for his extensive military training.
  • Metalus - A hardened Arbitrator, Metalus is a highly devoted servant of the Emperor.  Inquisitor Mandera noticed the Metalus' faith during a policing action, and seconded him to his retinue as he returned to the Abyssinia. Activated on Lucruzu Prime to add knowledge and influence with various Imperial institutions planetside.  

Feel free to comment on your characters to add details I may have left out that you want recorded for posterity!

Tomorrow is Krampus Day!  Make sure to tell your little ones the old tales, just in case they get the idea there's no downside to being bad!
