Tancred's Cadre

by DM B  

Tancred has greater resources than the average Inquisitor - he has, after all, been active in Calixis Sector for quite some time now. He has contacts and informants scattered across Calixis - even beyond its borders according to some rumors – and heads a large network of Acolytes and Adepts (of which Xerza is the most senior).

Since Inquisitors like Tancred, who opt to exist outside the mainstream Conclaves, have no resources beyond those that they can themselves procure, Tancred also has quite a few business interests that generate both revenue and influence. This business conglomerate is run from the Haegum - or more spcifially by the many businesses that act as a front for the Haegum.

It is Xerza that oversees his estates and business affairs, as well as his various Adepts, Acolytes and contact-informants. Indeed, to the rest of the organization she is the de-facto Inquisitor. She even carries Tancred's Inquisitorial Seal, the very symbol of his power and authority. Xerza also sits in his place in the Conclave, which is somewhat controversial, but not altogether unheard of since some Inquisitors are either unable or unwilling to appear in person.

The exact extent of Tancred's operations is known only to Xerza, but they are believed to be quite extensive. Below Xerza are a number of lesser Interrogators that serve as field-team leaders or hold important staff positions. Proven Acolytes are know as Explicators and are given more freedom in how they conduct themselves and are also more likely to be given specialized equipment, and access to restricted information. Explicators either work in teams with more junior Acolytes or form all-veteran squads for especially sensitive or dangerous missions.

Parts of the cadre spend their entire careers on distant worlds, never setting foot in the Haegum – Tancred's headquarters in Hive Tarsus – or even hearing of its existence. Other Acolytes visit only rarely, perhaps a few times, a dozen at the utmost, throughout their entire Inquisitorial career. To others, however, the Haegum is both headquarters and home – a place where they spend not only duty hours, but most of their free time as well.
