Tane Massata - Known Acolytes: As a long-serving member of the Ordo Malleus, Inquisitor Tane Massata has gathered a sizeable retinue to support his work. This list includes those Acolytes who accompanied Massata on his mission to Adrastapol.Interrogator Nesh - The brutish Interrogator Nesh is Massata's protégé and diligently serves his master. In combat, the interrogator usually wears a suit of bronze Carapace Armour and wields a Bolt Pistol though his main task is to monitor an Auspex. A resilient fighter, Interrogator Nesh's face has been beaten so often that other members of Massata's retinue more or less openly refer to it as an Ogryn's punching-bag. While Nesh suffered a broken arm in the fierce fighting beneath the Chimaerkeep, he survived the mission to Adrastapol and continues to fight alongside his master.Kasrkin Sergeant Kaston - Formerly of the Cadian 85th Infantry Regiment, Sergeant Kaston met Massata on a joint mission on the world of Haelen where the Kasrkin Sergeant saved the Inquisitor's life. Kaston usually ventures into the field whilst being equipped with her thick Carapace Armour and her Hellgun. Kaston doubles as the retinue's pilot since she knows how to handle various shuttles and atmospheric aircraft, though has no experience at aerial combat.Shanema and Shemara - Shanema and Shemara were Death Cult assassins employed by Massata. Both women never displayed their faces and wore form-fitting, black bodygloves. While undoubtedly the most deadly of Massata's retinue in close combat, both assassins were killed on Adrastapol.Linguist Mortens - The oldest member of the retinue was Linguist Mortens, a Tech-savant specialised in the decryption of old and forgotten texts. His Cogitator-assisted brain also made Mortens a highly precise calculator of variables.Astropath Venquist - Usually clad in long robes of deepest blue and clutching his staff of office, Astropath Venquist was a tall, slender and pale figure. While being the weakest member of Massata's retinue in physical terms, Venquist's psychic gifts made him invaluable to the team's missions. Having served Massata for several Terran years, Venquist was not only in charge of the Inquisitor's off-world communication but had also learned how to channel his gifts to follow and track the corruption of Chaos, a faculty that proved particularly useful in locating the ritual spaces of Chaos Cults or tracking down items of arcane power. In the unmapped warren of caves stretching beneath the Chimaerkeep, the group relied on Venquist's abilities to guide them to their final objective. Whatever the Inquisitorial party encountered there left Venquist in a catatonic state so that the Astropath needed to be carried back to their Land Crawler as the Inquisitor tried to escaped the doomed world. Astropath Venquist was subsequently killed when the team's transport was attacked by Orks.D'bu'ko - The Jokaero known as D'bu'ko is Massata's technical specialist and carried numerous small technological marvels that could help Massata's team on their missions. Stronger than an average human, the Jokearo's technological skills vastly surpassed those of the Adeptus Mechanicus. In a firefight, D'bu'ko is more than able to defend himself thanks to the powerful Jokaero-built Digital Weapons he carries. D'bu'ko was severely wounded in the subterranean network of caves and crypts beneath the Chimaerkeep.
