**Damian Rook** is a member of the Inquisition.

## Physical description

A tall, slender man with a sallow, bearded face and small, black eyes. His uniform is cut from black cloth with silver trimming.

## Personality

He holds the Noble Summoners in high regard to the point where he sees anyone else whether it be commoners, dwarfs or elves with disdain, as evident with his attitude towards his class. To nobles, he is polite and quick to give out praise, but to commoners, he is openly rude and insults them.

## History

### Early life

Rook appears in the Origins as a student in Vocans. He is later expelled for trying to kill Arcturus. He later becomes an inquisitor.

### Rory

Rook and another Inquisitor named Charles were in the village of Robur, looking for potential Summoners. He repeatedly complained about the conditions there as he tested the children. They were able to find one child with Summoning abilities, a teenager named Rory. However, he ran away before they were able to take him. Rook would send his Minotaur, Caliban after him though Rory was able to escape. Eventually, Rory would return and agree to go to Vocans Academy.

### The Novice

Rook would be called to Vocans Academy as a substitute teacher after Captain Lovett was incapacitated due to Ether poisoning. After hearing that Fletcher is an orphan and accuses Arcturus of continuing his search for more orphan bastards. He would show favor to the nobles and bias against commoners, dwarves, and elves. He tests each student's fulfillment level before announcing that only nobles will be allowed to catch new demons in the Ether.

He later handed out scrying stones, giving the largest ones to nobles while the commoners received the smallest ones. Rook and Arcturus teach the students about dueling before the competition, though he was easily defeated as he did not put up a shield at the start, he angrily dismissed the class afterward.

During the competition, he would be the one explaining the rules and dismisses all of Scipio's concerns about the nobles having an advantage and assigns the competitors. Rook does it in a way that the more powerful commoners will have the most difficult time in winning while the nobles have an easy time. During the competition, he assigned the nobles to shield Fletcher in his fight against Malik, though of the four people selected, only Scipio was channeling the spell properly.

After the competition he and two Pinkertons arrested Fletcher when he heard about his alleged murder attempt of Didric Cavell.

### The Inquisition

Rook again oversees the competition. He keeps the fight between Cress Freyja and Didric Cavell going as long as possible, in hope of Didric winning. When Didric is knocked out, he begrudgingly declares Cress the winner.

Rook is also the one to anounce the teamleaders for the mission to the orc jungle and to brief the students about the mission.

### The Battlemage

Rook is one of the guests at Old King Alfrics masquarade. He and Zacharias Forsyth do not fall for the drugged drinks and try to stop Fletcher Raleigh and Sylva Arkenia from exposing their involvemand in the supposed Anvils terror attacks. Rook hits Fletcher with a fire spell but fails to kill him. Fletcher then knocks him out. Rook and Forsyth are taken captive by Fletcher and his Friends and brought infront of King Harold. Both of them are sentenced to prison and are brought to Pelt. However, thanks to their friendship with the Cavells the two of them do not stay in a prison cell, but instad in Didrics house, where they live with all the luxuries they need.

After King Harold becomes the lone ruler of Honium and the Cavelles are forced to leave the country, Rook and Forsyth are relocaded to a prison in Corcilium and locked away for good.
