Saboteur

“Terror and the application of atrocity; that is my art.”
–Attributed to a nameless warlord of ancient Terra
Saboteurs are craftsmen of panic, destruction, and downfall.
They are the loosed dogs of secret wars of destabilization
and terror that rage in the shadows of the Imperium of
Mankind. Trained to move unseen amongst the great flocks
of humanity, the Saboteur is a faceless agent of fear, mayhem,
and death that attacks the physical and psychological fabric
that binds the Imperium together. It is said by some in the
Administratum that everything within the Imperium is
connected by endless invisible threads of interdependence
that bind the whole together. From the astropathic messages
brought to the table of a lord to the food eaten by the lowest
worker in a forge; all depends on something else to exist, and
those in turn on other things. These threads of reliance form
a vast web of power and stability on which order, faith, and
survival depend. It is the destruction of these threads that is
the Saboteur’s purpose and their most beloved art.
Why such cold monsters of terror should be found in the
service of the Inquisition can only be answered by those who
understand the Radical philosophies and creeds of the type of
enemy who might see a need to create conflict and destabilize
the fabric of the Imperium. To Inquisitors of the Recongregator
and Istvaanian factions, Saboteurs are the fundamental tools with
which they forge their ends. Trained by the defenders of mankind,
Saboteur Acolytes are unleashed against Imperial worlds to cause
the anarchy their masters demand. From demolishing a symbol of
Imperial authority to wrecking a key manufactorum supplying a
warzone, the targets and actions of a trained Saboteur are designed
to always create a particular effect or reaction; whether it is simply
fear or preventing a greater danger from coming to pass.
==Becoming a Saboteur==
Becoming a Saboteur is a matter of willingness and
requirement; the service which an Acolyte does for his
Inquisitor may be of such a Radical nature that skills in
destroying bridges and crippling cities with fear are necessary.
In this case, an Acolyte may elect to undergo training in the
shadowy arts of sabotage.
