Libricar - Red Scourge of Sibellus: The Libricar doctrine first gained a solid foothold in the Calixian Conclave of the Inquisition in 609.M41 during the restoration of the power and prestige of the Lucid Court of Scintilla remembered by Calixian scholars as the Sult Ascendancy. During this time and with the backing of the Calixian Inquisition, the newly inaugurated Lord Sector Larhanus Sult (somewhat ironically entitled "The Great Conciliator" by his biographers) did much to pull back executive authority to his office as well as presiding over a massive expansion of the military forces under the Lord Sector's direct control.This resurgence of power in the seat of the Lord Calixis was in no small part a reaction to a dangerous corrosion of the Calixis Sector's governance and the growing and often malign influences of a burgeoning Combine Commercia and the petty nobility. This was a moral rot many traced back first to the horrors of the Brotherhood of the Horned Darkness' corruption of the Lucid Court nearly two standard centuries before and the shadow war that ended it.Sult's closest ally in the Calixian Conclave, and a growing power in that conclave at the time was Inquisitor Drakos Monke, once an Acolyte of Tarshek herself and a staunch advocate of the then-newborn Libricar doctrine. At Sult's invitation, Monke was charged with overseeing aggressive reforms to the governance of Hive Sibellus, a task he took to with bloody gusto worthy of the Crassan Purge in which as a young man he had taken part, and soon gained Sult's respect and favour, rapidly earning himself the appellation of the "Red Scourge."As Sult's star rose so did Monke's, despite growing accusations from his peers that he had become too close to the personal clique of the Lord Sector and had lost his objectivity. For several solar decades Monke remained a potent force within the Calixian Conclave and was grudgingly raised to the title of Lord Inquisitor, based in no small part on Sult's backing.Monke further cemented his powerbase by building up an inner circle of subordinate Inquisitors, most of whom shared his doctrine to some extent, although he counted far more enemies than friends in the conclave, particularly in the Ordo Malleus and the Tyrantine Cabal of who he seemed to carry a deep-seated disdain and distrust.When Monke died in 734.M41 (apparently of natural causes), his power and influence had long since waned as Sult himself gave way to his kinsman Marius Hax as the new Lord Sector, and those who had long born grudges against Monke and his allies, (rumours of secret murder-cells used against fellow Inquisitors' operations by them had long been rife) were quick to make good on their simmering enmity. Those who did not immediately desert Monke's old inner circle and its successors quickly found themselves ostracised in the Calixian Conclave or the brunt of revenge attacks, damaging intrigues or more formal Inquisitorial scrutiny.At one particularly turbulent Grand Conclave Synod, the Libricaran doctrine and Monke's personal record was mercilessly attacked by speaker after speaker with the tacit backing of none other than Lord Inquisitor Aegult Caidin, the head of the conclave himself. The implication and result could not be in doubt; the Libricar and their doctrine were no longer welcome among the mainstream of the Calixian Conclave and those few Inquisitors that bitterly remained attached to its calling soon found themselves relegated to de facto status as outsiders, viewed with deep suspicion by their peers.Despite this reversal of fortune, the Libricars' presence in the Calixis Sector did not end. It was merely forced underground, its survival aided by the remnants of Monke's well-hidden private network and web of contacts. Those that remain loyal to the doctrine are more militant than ever in their convictions.
