Lord Inquisitor kind of a jerk

[ChompyRiley]

He's a grade-A jackass. Busts into my house, knocks out my servant, acts snide and accusatory, and generally acts like King ♥♥♥♥. Boy was lucky I didn't put a bolt in his skull and decapitate Heinrix. I'm no heretic, and anyone who can even remotely watch my actions will know that my sole concern is for my people and their welfare. It's a real shame there's no option later to just eject his little spy out into space.

[=DeadShot=]

And knowing Calcazar he was prety cool for Theodora using chaos and chaos artifacts and tolerating chaos cults on her world, in return to her being knee deep in his plans with the C'tan shard. And he probably wants to continue that relation. I find his actions polite enough for high nobility and their lack of empathy towards lower level in the social hierarchy humans.
So him incapacitating your servant is just a small flex and the fact most RT and nobles wouldn't give a damm about the fate of the servant.

Inquisitors do not have authority over rogue traders. Rogue traders are above inquisitors, again why? Because inquisitors have zero authority over rogue traders.

The Lord Inquisitor was extremely annoying I hope we can deal with him permenately.

His boss doesn't entirely seem to follow that rule, as he warns you he's willing to look the other way, but he will step in if he feels it's needed to protect the system.

that is kinda what things come down to in the end

rogue traders, inquisitors and some others have a very nebulous upper end to their authority, they're basically at the point where you stop thinking "chain of command" and start thinking "who has the most weight to throw around in any given situation", in this case a rogue trader with a warrant from the emperor himself and their dynasty recently pieced back together *technically* should pull ahead of an inquisitor whose resources are stretched far too thin and who can't even get what people do listen to him to work together

all that said that inquisitor has been in the game a lot longer than the player character, he's had time to figure out who to lean on and between heinrix and his spies in your dynasty (as well as his previous contact with theodora) he can pretty much make sure every encounter you have with him is to his advantage

while chain of command isn't as much of a concern for the upper levels of authority in the imperium there is absolutely an issue of the power you have to throw around not applying to the exact situation you're in, and in those cases the tried and true answer is "alright you have a very nice title and lots of money to throw around but in this room I have the bigger gun and the better defenses, so I'm in charge"

That is NOT the impression I got. Really weird take, but you do you I guess.

Consider what you learn in act 4 and act 5 about Theodora and her relasion with Calcazar, tech heretics like Tisiphone and Arch magos or outwrite heretics like Cubis Delphi and Kunrad or xenos like Tervintius and the drukhari kabal Marazhai was part of, no Calcazar knew and turned a blind eye as long Theodora helped him with the C'tan shard.
Theodora, Calcazar, Archmagos, Tishiphone , and Yrimeress(the drukhari archon and Marazhai sister), Tervintius were all partners to tame the C'tan shard and make it work for the good of the IOM and to help Yrimeress overthrow Asdrubel Vect.
Like the drukhari were steeling suns and bringing them to Calcazar at Calcazar orders.

Inquisitors also technically have zero authority over space marines, doesn't change the fact that they have ended several space marine chapters and regularly pronounce them as excommunicate traitoris and the like. Now they might not be able to do that alone, they do need backing (from whoever is necessary, be that the administratum or the high lords or whatever) but they still do it.

Basically, Inquisitors do whatever they feel like they have to and they do tend to get away with it more often then not.

Against small flies that is certainly the case, but for people with actual power, they very very rarely succeed or do something at all, and more often the Inquisitor or Lord Inquisitor got the Hammer then, sure, they can demand, they can request, they can declare someone a heretic, but without proof or political pull, there is not much they can do other then that, and it backfires hard on the Inquisitor in question.

As for the Game, you can absolutely manage to get the Ecclesiarchy, the Imperial Navy, the local Merchants, the Pirates and both the other RK Dynasties on your side, which leaves Calcazar pretty much stripped of any means to go against you, as his ships gets obliterated and he is branded a traitor. Simply a Game of Politics.

If you are found guilty of heresy, doesn't matter what trade writ have lol, your entire family will be striped of its possessions, every void ship gone, your palace? ya it's an inquisitorial fortress now, your family? dead or turned into servitors, at very least ya'll getting minds wiped.

That it is even a conversation going on, or that the inquisitor isnt just walking in and telling you what to do is only thing breaking lore or out of character for an inquisitor.

They're bullies, exactly that. To fear them is redundant, to hate them, heretical.
The Emperor Protects.

Even Inquisitors don't have infinite power. Up against significant enough targets, they need to weigh the cost in political power they'd need to expend to remove you - unless they ACTUALLY have proof that you're a heretic. And to prove a Rogue Trader a heretic takes a little more than an average citizen, because it's literally written into Imperial law and the Warrant of Trade that you are, legally, allowed to do a number of things that would get other people shot into the nearest sun.

Not meaning to necro this but I wanted to point out that the lore heavily implies that a fair number of Inquisitors were summarily executed by Guilliman for refusing to contribute to the Indomitus Crusade when ordered. Not requested, ordered. Because Guilliman knows, probably better than anyone, that the Imperium needs to have all cylinders firing as best as it can for survival. In his mind, everyone, especially Inquisitors, who doesn't play ball when he calls during the Great Muster, is working against the Imperium and is guilty of heresy/treason. As Lord Regent, he speaks with the authority of the Emperor himself. Believing the Inquisition is beyond the authority of even the Lord Regent is putting too much stock in how much power the Inquisition is actually entitled to.

Calcazar should try saying the crap he did to Captain-General Valoris. The Custodes would either shoot him without a second thought or, at the very least, laugh him right out of Terra with his tail between his legs. The Inquisition holds a lot of power but unlimited authority is a bit of a stretch. They can kill a Rogue Trader if they fall to heresy but Inquisitors cannot outright nullify or overrule a Warrant of Trade, much less imply as much (that would go against the Emperor's written will). It's purely an intimidation tactic, and, lamentably, one that the writers of the game make you take like a chump.

he wouldn't do it to another inquisitor, and he shouldn't do it to a RT either, not just for a chat anyway.

Inquisitors are among the only agents of the Imperium that can swing their ♥♥♥♥ around even on a Rogue Trader or Planetary Governor, they can swing their ♥♥♥♥ at the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Astartes chapters also. They are the space-NKVD, the space-FSB. Nobody but the Politburo back on Terra really has much say over their authority. Keep in mind he technically could just hijack your entire ship and fleet if he wanted, and talk ♥♥♥♥ about you being a heretic. Commisars are not feared--Inquisitors are. Hence why in Inquisitor Martyr it is YOU who is effectively captaining the Rogue Trader's ship and telling her when and where to go.

omfg you know I don't care what Our Spiritual Liege has to say though, idgaf even if they are making it canon, anything related to the ultramarines and Guilliman I kinda take as pure propagandistic bull ♥♥♥♥. This includes the stupidity of having just 300 space marines fight literally an entire planet worth of tyranids. Not even the Soviets, Nazis, or Maoists or Imperial Japanese would have used that level of pure bullshttery as Ward does.

That doesn't make him less of a smug, condescending jackass. There were an almost unfathomably vast number of better ways to go about asking for my help. Up until now I was perfectly happy to work with Heinrix and the Inquisition. But with the blackmail, the threats, and the implication that I'm somehow responsible for Theodora's actions of several decades past, I'm actually quite tempted to go full heresy, if I'm going to be treated like one.

Concern for my people, a desire to believe in the inherent goodness of humanity, and a certain level of desire to do the right thing are heretical? Piss off with that. Like I said, he's lucky I'm playing along (for the good of my people and protectorate), otherwise I'd be MORE than happy to put a bullet in his skull.

I wanted the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ booted off my ship the instant I could for this reason and I near NEVER leave a companion behind, the only other time was Kana Rua from Pillars because he was annoying af to me and I wanted him executed by firing squad. But even then I decided canonically it wouldnt make sense having my character order his execution so I left him at the castle.

Heinrix is, well put this way I have lore/headcanon reasons too I am literally a former criminal who just so happened to be the inheritor of a vast space empire through sheer luck and happenstance. So as a former crime lord, which is quite fun being btw regardless of having little story impact so farI really like my character tbqh I also use heretical brush with chaos for mydarkest hour backstory so it's like having the head of the FBI ride around with me while I'm dealing drugs. ♥♥♥♥ no I don't want you in my car dude idgaf what neat items you have. Considering I'm trafficking in cold relics, consider I am collecting heretical crap which just so much as POSSESSING one of these objects would get you and all your buddies killed in normal circumstance, having him on there is unnerving. It SHOULD be unnerving.

He is an Lord Inquisitor he can do quite literally whatever the ♥♥♥♥ he wants including order the exterminatus of a whole string of star systems. See what Inquisitor Kryptman did during discovery of the Tyranids, and even though he got called a heretic later for it, that should give you an idea of their level of power and why everyone is so afraid of them.

Technically, if the tyranids invaded your area of the Koronus expanse Heinrix could order you to exterminatus all your worlds, Kiava, Rykad, Footfall, he can literally have every planet virus bombed and if you so much as complained he could have you executed as easily as that snarky guy in the prologue ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about you and you granting him mercy.

Hence why in Inquisitor Martyr it is YOU who is effectively captaining the Rogue Trader's ship and telling her when and where to go.

The difference is that "Inquisitor - Martyr" takes place within Imperium Space. So long as RTs are inside of Imperial borders, they are subject to the laws therein. However, the Koronus Expanse is beyond the Imperium's galactic borders (hence the point at the bottom of the map saying "Back to Imperium space") so as per the rights granted by the Warrant of Trade, which stem from the Emperor himself, the Inquisition can't directly order RTs around because that means going directly against the Emperor's will. Calcazar simply takes advantage of the fact that you're a greenie.

The Astartes chapters are largely autonomous and they have butted heads with the Inquisition on more than one occasion because many chapters see Inquisitors as drunk on their own power (similar to Vandire but not nearly on the same scale or level of ambition). Hell, the Celestial Lions were almost completely destroyed simply because an Inquisitor got butthurt from them questioning his decision to nuke an entire planet after it was completely cleansed of the taint of Chaos. Millions murdered on a simple whim. Because the Celestial Lions openly criticized Apollyon's actions, he wanted them all dead for bruising his massive ego. So his agents fed them false information on Armageddon at Mannheim Gap to lure them into a trap. Technically, intentionally getting loyal Angels of the Emperor killed at the hands of xenos would absolutely be considered heresy for anyone else but since it was the Inquisition, they got off scot-free...although it damaged their relations with the Imperial Fists and other successor chapters (particularly the Black Templars).

Again, I remind you that many Inquisitors were implied to have been executed by Guilliman for refusing to contribute to the Indomitus Crusade during the Great Muster when ordered. Since Guilliman was already recognized as Lord Regent by the High Lords and even the Custodians, defying the Lord Regent - who speaks as the Emperor's direct representative - is equivalent to defying the Emperor himself. Inquisitors love to view themselves as having absolute immunity but that also speaks to their lust for power and also their overblown sense of importance. Apollyon's order to exterminate an entire planet was a needless loss of life and the Celestial Lions were actually right to criticize him. Unlike Guilliman, most Inquisitors refuse to see the bigger picture and just narrowly focus on rooting out their own differing versions of what actually constitutes as "heresy." Inquisitor doesn't like you for whatever reason? He can invent a charge and have you executed without proof.

Inquisitors even kill each other over political and personal differences under the guise of "exterminating heresy."

EDIT: Also, if the Inquisition bullies the Priesthood of Mars too much, as you imply they absolutely can do, the Adeptus Mechanicus can and will withdraw their support for the Imperium and let their equipment rot (if they don't secretly transform the Inquisitor into a servitor for tech-heresy, first). Inquisitorial Representative Arx is smart enough to know the Imperium can't afford to lose the Tech-Priests, not to mention Fabricator-General Raskian is practically the size of a small building (even Belisarius Cawl is somewhat terrified of Raskian).

You're overestimate their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ power. Inquisition is NOT sanctioned by Emperor so don't have authority to mess with institutions established by Himself, except of situations they'd caught them red-handed with heresy or betrayal. All such institutions known to refuse Inquisition requests from time to time.

But to battle heresy and xenos threatening your worlds also a PART of your duties - and that's exactly the job Lord-Inquisitor "offering" to you at first. So refusal is not an option.

The reason for the Inquisition's existence in the first place is to police the various corrupt and heretical institutions the Emperor created in his monumental incompetence. They literally went to war with an Astartes chapter on the feeblest of justifications. How's that for "don't have the authority to mess with institutions established by Himself"?

Of course, it's not like they don't have to tread carefully around institutions powerful or influential enough to resist them. That little incident with the Space Wolves didn't end especially well for them for instance. But a destitute, almost-dead Rogue Trader dynasty? That's a small fish, he wouldn't need much of a pretext to snuff you out at all.

I feel like people forget this way too much, the Emperor is not a god, he is a ruthless super powerful psycher and Stalin like possible psychopathidk why psychic nulls get called that, it seems being a null and a clinical psychopath is different things but he is, quite much like Josef Stalin, an colossally incompetent buffoon who creates as many problems as he solves. Part of the veil of power is creation of the illusion of competence, omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience, when fact is they are actually not that powerful or wise. Illuminati and CIA is two very good exmaples of this, to where they make their cover story *too* good to where people falsely attribute all kind of things to them and then nobody can understand how the smart powerful guy in the room is so much a massive ♥♥♥♥ up.

Some people just couldn't let go the fact he is not in fact playing five D chess, he's an ♥♥♥♥♥ working with limited knowledge. He does not know the future. Many things he did blew up in his face often directly the result of his own severity and psychopathy with failure to account for humans having human feelings and emotions and the magnitude of what those betrayals could result, not counting the other dumb things he did.

Bully, bully isn't even an understatement. He is an independent operative of the NKVD, he has fully authority to wield the entire authority of the Soviet intelligence apparatus on his own personal whim, checked only by other NKVD or KGB operatives.

And it's true. And how, like seriously how in tf you even wind up on here not knowing anything about 40k
This is just like, such an utterly obscure thing, Owlcat is more popular now but still it's a more niche genre for an older gen of more niche gamers in a slightly more niche studio that's made a rather niche game. Not a whole lot of us are ever going to actually want to read a whole book worth of 40k stuff in dialogue. I think most people don't actually know much about the setting honestly but that's usualyl a thing with like, Space Marine or Deathwing or something like that, DoW III or some ♥♥♥♥.

If you are playing this I'd assume you know a bit about lore already.

(I will agree with you that there are no good major powers within 40k, but there are some occasional individuals.)

The rare individual frequently only serves to highlight the futility and brutality of the setting, in a way that I find quite fitting this game clearly starts pushing you as the guy in power to either not being a chump or ending up burned to death
