Daemonym Seeker

“The most ideal of conditions for defeating the daemon: be on a first name basis.”
–High Banisher Segrin
Within the Collegiate Exterminatus it is considered
a blessing that summoning a powerful Daemon
is not easy; it can take a lifetime of devotion
and hundreds of years of preparation. Generational cults
of worship exist that have secretive agendas hidden behind
layers of faithful rhetoric. However, banishing
or controlling a Daemon is a far less difficult
task if the summoner or banisher possesses
the True Name of the Daemon.
The True Name of even the most minor
Daemon is a closely guarded secret among
Warp entities. Knowing the True Name
of a Daemon gives one power over that
Daemon, any minions of that Daemon, and
possibly even its worshippers. Most daemons
are known by a variety of pseudonyms, should
they desire to be called anything at all. However,
among the Banishers, there are some who would
seek out the True Name of a Daemon; they are
called the Daemonym Seekers.
When a Banisher wishes to become a Seeker, there
is no training or ceremony; he simply begins to hunt for
the name of a specific Warp entity. This may be a Daemon
who has given his Inquisitor trouble in the past or simply a
beast that caught his attention during the course of his normal
studies. Whatever his reasons, the Seeker devotes himself
completely to the pursuit of this daemon's True Name.
The path of the Daemonym Seeker is rooted in the work of
Inquisitor Adorjin. She was a potent psyker, and employed a
great number of Banishers. Many of her Banishers considered
her one of their own, as she pursued Daemons with zealous
determination. Adorjin devoted her life to hunting one
vicious and particularly powerful Warp entity. For nearly two
centuries, she studied the creature, learning it's True Name
and tracking it to the Calixis Sector. She brought with her
several Banishers who had studied with her, a small squad
of Grey Knights, a powerful relic weapon, and an ancient
copy of the Liber Daemonica. Though she fell in the battle, her
strategies were adopted by a great many Banishers, and her
name was be remembered by all of the Calixis Ordo Malleus.
Daemonym Seekers employ every resource they can
in their search for the names of daemons, from the study
of ancient prophesy to dangerous séances. The majority
of Seekers devote their entire careers to the study of one
greater Daemon, declaring that Daemon their nemesis and
often growing to be obsessed with the target of their study.
Daemonym Seekers are rarely trusted by any but the most
radical of Inquisitors, and more than a few Seekers have had
their quests and lives cut short by puritanical Inquisitors who
did not approve of the dark path their Acolyte was travelling.
The Puritans’ judgment is not unwarranted; more than a few
Seekers have attempted to harness a Daemon for the benefit
of the Imperium, but such a noble effort almost always ends
in tragedy. Even more dangerous are those who secretly grow
to respect or worship the Daemon they obsess over.
==Alternate Career Rank==
To become a Daemonym Seeker is to take up the single-minded
cause of exterminating a great evil from the galaxy.
There is no ceremony; there are no badges of office. Once
you have set out on the path to discover the True Name of a
fi end, you have taken it upon yourself to become the hunter,
dogging your prey across the sector. It will not be long before
the beast knows that you are its enemy.
