Inquisitor Glavius Wroth

Glavius Wroth is a staunch Amalathian, an outspoken
champion of order and unity in the face of the manifold
threats that the Imperium faces. Unaligned to a specific Ordo,
Wroth is a powerful and experienced operator within the
Ordos Calixis, well-connected to the pillars of Imperial order
across the sector. However, he has arguably as many enemies
as he has allies within the Holy Ordos and must maintain a
careful balance in order to survive---chiefly through knowing
far too many secrets to easily move against. Wroth is a tough
and robust figure with a subtle mind and a blunt tongue. His
bearing and manner give the impression of a no-nonsense
Arbites Investigator, and this bluff exterior conceals much
of his true depth and intellect. Little is known of Wroth’s
distant past or apprenticeship within the Inquisition, a state
that he undoubtedly deliberately maintains, but his present
reputation rests in no small part on the excoriation and
execution for heresy of his fellow Inquisitor Eustis Ionfell
and his network.
He is also known to have discovered and persecuted those responsible for the Blighted Schola. In his investigations, he discovered that a group known as the Golgenna Coven had created the shadowy program in order to raise radical servants for Inquisitorial service. Of their ranks, four were Inquisitors themselves: Simion, Nihul, Estarz and Alhain. He saw them all denounced and executed for this heresy, along with the other members of the Golgenna Coven. The fact that all four Inquisitors were also associates or pupils of the late Inquisitor Cassilda Cognos was not lost on him.
== In the Service of Glavius Wroth ==
Wroth is usually concerned with multiple investigations at
any one time, relying on a large network of acolytes. Most of
these retainers he controls from a distance via intermediaries
and go-betweens, while his personal entourage is constantly
changing to suit the needs of his current operations. These
operations tend to focus on threats emerging within the body
of the Imperium, particularly the divisions of the Adeptus
Terra, though he does not limit his concern simply to a
particular source of threat.
Wroth rarely intervenes personally in an investigation,
preferring to use the skills of his acolytes save where only
the weight of his personal presence will do. Among his
acolytes, Wroth values those that are autonomous and who
share both his outlook and fearless devotion to their high
callings. Above all, Wroth looks for loyalty and rewards that
loyalty in equal measure. Wroth personally vets his acolytes
with paramount care and diligence, and as a result trusts them
to act without his direct guidance, essentially offering them
a free rein under his authority. To those that have met him
personally, Wroth seems to be the Inquisition personified,
a direct and charismatic leader who inspires devotion and
fear with unshakeable purpose and faith, whose gaze misses
nothing, and whose only mercy is a swiftly granted demise.
== Secret Agendas and Hidden Truths ==
Glavius Wroth is much concerned by the activities of his
fellow Inquisitors, spending much of his time covertly
studying their affairs. As a result, he has many who wish him
ill. Chief amongst his concerns is Lord Inquisitor Anton Zerbe, the
master of the Tyrantine Cabal. Wroth suspects him of heretical
conspiracy and of covertly building a shadow network of
agents who answer to the inner circle of the Tyrantine Cabal
alone. Wroth has come to believe that the worst rumors of
a mysterious organization called the Tenebrae Collegium are
true and has put much effort into discovering the extent and
intentions of this phantom organization. He aims to instigate
its eventual downfall; however, he knows that he will need
both incontrovertible proof and powerful backing to make
his charges stick.
==The Balance of Influence of Inquisitor Glavius Wroth==
Glavius Wroth is a staunch Amalathian who has built a reputation as a pragmatic but steadfast defender of Imperial order and
stability. While he does take a personal hand in many of his operations, he also maintains a wide sphere of influence that is
balanced by the fact that he has as many enemies as he has allies; not least of which are a number of powerful Inquisitors within
the Calixian Conclave.
Close Allies: Wroth has very close ties with the Adeptus Arbites and has cultivated key allies within their senior ranks
including Kae Drusil of the Divisio Immoralis, and Lord Marshal Gorman, the most senior member of the Arbites in the
sector. He also has close friendship with General Kasir, commander of Imperial forces on Tranch. Amongst the ranks of the
Ecclesiarchy, Wroth has formed a number of useful relationships chief amongst which is Deacon Priam. High Prefect Momulus,
Administratum overseer of the Golgenna Reach, has long been one of Wroth’s closest allies and informants on the internal
politics of the Imperial bureaucracy in the sector.
Well Disposed Individuals and Organizations: Wroth has great respect for Lord Inquisitor Caidin, a compliment which
the Lord Inquisitor broadly returns in recognition of Wroth’s effectiveness as a bulwark against instability. Although it is a close
secret, Wroth is in correspondence with the mysterious Inquisitor Marr, a relationship that has profited both Inquisitors.
Conflicting Interests: Wroth sees Lord Sector Marius Hax as a paranoid fanatic who is a long-term risk to the stability of
the sector; an opinion that Wroth has not succeeded in keeping secret from the Lord Sector’s allies within the Inquisition. On a
number of occasions, Wroth has clashed with the Lord Sector’s upstart military police, the Chaliced Commissariat, and there is
little love lost between the Inquisitor and ‘Hax’s hounds.’ Wroth has always mistrusted the function and intent of the Tyrantine Cabal, and relations between him and most members of the Cabal are strained at best. His denouncements and persecution of
two radical Inquisitors in the course of his career puts him in broad conflict with all Inquisitors of a radical persuasion.
Enemies: Though Wroth does not know it, Lord Inquisitor Anton Zerbe, convener of the Tyrantine Cabal is an enemy that
even now moves against him. Wroth’s suspicions regarding the Tyrantine Cabal, and information that he has assembled about
the secret Tenebrae Collegium within the Cabal, have made him an intolerable threat to Zerbe’s plans.
