Beast House - Organisation: The Beast House operates to supply, store, and in some cases, even modify or breed alien creatures for use in arena-circuses and blood sport operations in the Imperial criminal underworld. It has also been known to provide beasts to private owners, including Chaos Cults and Hereteks, for their own dark ends.The Beast House is adept at acquiring all manner of xenos beasts, including intelligent creatures, as well as any xenos technology they use so that they will prove fitting opponents in the fighting pits the Beast House runs called "Red Cages." For a sizable sum, an individual can commission the Beast House to acquire a specific creature. For an even greater sum, the individual can keep the alien afterwards. These fees are justified by the Beast House's discretion, as well as its unfailing ability to deliver goods as promised in pristine condition.How the Beast House acquires live aliens is a closely guarded mystery, but its network must surely extend to proscribed xenos cultures. The Beast House is able to obtain a live example of almost any alien species, as well as many forms of alien technology, especially their melee weaponry. For its services and goods, the Beast House requires either an extortionate sum of money, the patronage of a powerful individual, a large number of slaves for the Red Cages, a rare and exquisite specimen to fight in the Red Cages, or some other despicable form of payment.There is a great deal of money to be made from this illegal trade, and in order to do so, the Beast House acts to control the supply chain, running the whole operation from initial capture of the creatures to their distribution. Furthermore, the Beast House sometimes acts as the secret owner or backer of the venues that host its creatures, often taking a hand in incidental activities such as gambling and criminality that surround these places.The Beast House protects itself by making extensive use of local intermediaries on the worlds where it operates and maintaining progressive layers of secrecy about its true size and what it can supply. This secrecy means that many of those who work for it don't know the full truth and that parts of the group and its assets can be "cut loose" if faced with sanction by local law enforcement, or when infiltrated by outsiders, with little danger to the other parts of the organisation or its true masters, the "beast slavers."Just how many true members of the Beast House are privy to its inner workings remains unknown to the Inquisition, but probably there are no more than a few hundred in total scattered across the Golgenna Reach and the Markyan Marches sub-sectors of the Calixis Sector, and perhaps that many again operating to acquire savage livestock on numerous far-flung worlds and roving hunting ships.Of these, those who lead the organisation and hold the power of life and death over their fellows and their creatures are fewer still. This last group consists of the most secretive and dangerous members of the Beast House. They are the beast slavers, hunt masters, and flesh-crafters who are the true driving force behind the organisation. However, all report to a single mysterious authority who's power and mastery over the Beast House is without question, a man known as Solkarn Senk.
