Amberley Vail is a member of the [[Alienhunters| Ordo Xenos]] of the [[Inquisition]] and the lover of [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''HERO OF THE [[Imperium of Man|IMPERIUM]]'''! Unique among the members of the Inquisition, she not only displays sanity, but also self-awareness of just how off their rocker everyone else in the Inquisition can be. She goes about the galaxy fighting aliens with a quip and perky sense of humour. But don't let her light air fool you, as she can be as deadly as her position demands. She was the one who realized that [[Jurgen]] was a [[blank]], after her sanctioned [[psyker]] Rakel had an extreme reaction to physical contact with him. She would later go on to edit the Cain Archives, detailing Cain's private memoirs for use by the Inquisition (after we assume his death given his [[Exterminatus|Admissions]] in these). Her edits consist of inserting a few other sources of relevant information to provide perspective, and a large number of footnotes whenever she feels she needs to elaborate on something or make additional commentary. As often as not, she just uses them as an excuse to take jabs at the Radicals and members of the [[Daemonhunters|Ordo Malleus]] or defend her vanity when it is implied she ate too much (only once (twice, now)). Whenever the Cain archive goes into times before he met her, she ''also'' is prone to insulting (either directly or indirectly) Cain's prior paramours, and may edit out any family-unfriendly information regarding his liaisons with her and others. She also can't resist talking smack about the overly-florid writing of Jenit Sulla and never grasps how Cain (or anyone else) can drink tanna.

She tends to take a light-handed approach in the execution of her Inquisitorial duties. Not for her the purifying pyre of [[Exterminatus]], she often simply arranges to have the appropriate people in the appropriate places at the appropriate time to make a difference and set things right again. Cain and Jurgen often end up crossing paths with her when she makes sure their regiment is the one to arrive at a conflict that calls for their talents. However, she is definitely not shy about getting stuck in when need be and owns a set of ornate power armor that (according to Cain) would make a [[Techmarine]] jealous. Apparently, she is pretty good at purging [[Genestealer]] nests with it. When Cain first met her, she was undercover as a nightclub singer, and apparently has a beautiful singing voice.

As expected for an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, she knows a few non-human languages. She is functionally conversant in [[Tau]], knows a little [[Eldar]], and is fully fluent in [[Ork]]ish (though she admits that is not hard since Orkish apparently consists mainly of a few guttural bellows and smacks to the head for emphasis).
