Inquisitor Hettesh Kane

Known Aliases: Professor Dolorosa, Witch-Wielder, Keeper of the Inner Fire
Known Associates or Organizations: The Burning Princess, Montesque (deceased), Jenni Rational
Preferred Methods of Operation: Kane tends to operate behind the scenes, using his psychic powers to spy upon his
objective and learn all he can about it before making his move. Kane has several mind-wiped agents serving him (simply
because serving him is all they know), and his mastery of various psychic gifts allows him to escape nearly any trap if
things go wrong.
The sanctioned psyker Hettesh Kane was once a renowned teacher in the Scholastica Psykana. He became a dedicated
member of the Ordo Hereticus to hunt down and eliminate rogue psykers throughout the Imperium. However, Kane’s
experiences and personal beliefs led him to become convinced that psykers could achieve nearly anything, if properly
trained and possessing deep moral conviction. Over time, Kane began to train and teach those he captured rather than
destroying them outright. Although he was not always successful, Kane sought to turn those who were once enemies into
agents of the Golden Throne.
One of his most notable failures was a proud young
student named Montesque, a native of Kulth. Montesque
displayed frightening potential and surpassed his
mentor in nearly every way after only a few
short years of training. Kane quickly realized
that his pupil was an alpha-grade psyker,
and that Montesque’s powers were rapidly
growing more and more difficult to control.
Kane slew the younger psyker and experimented
with Montesque’s unique brain, eventually constructing
an unusual psy-focus out of his former student’s skull
to amplify and push the limits of his own considerable
powers.
Hettesh Kane’s psychic abilities are in the upper delta-band,
but what is far more dangerous than his raw power is the level of
mastery he displays. Finesse and skill are Kane’s hallmarks, and
although he does not despise non-psykers, he does pity them.
His focus is firmly fixed upon a time when all mankind will be
able to shape the warp to their will, and Kane is determined
to do nearly anything to ensure that future comes to pass. He
strongly identifies with the Polypsykana faction, although
he has not yet fully committed his allegiance.
