<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%">

====Historical====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Solomon Haarlock:''' Rogue Trader, discoverer of the Calyx Expanse.
*'''Golgenna Angevin:''' Lord Militant of the Angevin Crusade, which won the Calixis Sector for the Imperium. The crusade was a success in spite of his gross incompetence, mostly due to the actions of Drusus (see below).
*'''Drusus:''' General in the Angevin Crusade, responsible for cleaning up Lord Militant Angevin's massive cock-ups. Was assassinated on Maccabeus Quintus and was resurrected by the Emperor ([[Inquisition|at least supposedly]]) After the crusade, became Calixis' first Lord Sector Governor and was later canonised a saint nearly a hundred years after his passing. He also apparently fought King Ghidorah. Go ahead, look it up!
*'''Erasmus Haarlock:''' The last known member of the Haarlock Dynasty, who killed the rest of the family to avenge the death of his wife, and attempted to harness the power of the Tyrant Star to resurrect her.  Hinted at being one of the Seven Devils of Calyx and the herald of the End Times. Continues to not be a ripoff of [[anime|Captain Harlock]].
*'''Umbra Malygris:''' An Arch-Magos and perpetrator of one of the most wide-scale tech-heresies in the sector's history, whose influence is still feared to this day.
*'''Cassilda Cognos:''' Founder of the Tyrantine Cabal.</div></div>

====The Holy Ordos====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Aegult Caidin:''' Head of the Calixian Conclave. Spends most of his time being mysterious and shit. Nobody even knows what he looks like, because he always wears a mask.
*'''The Tyrantine Cabal:''' A group of Inquisitors dedicated to studying the Tyrant Star. Responsible for a lot of coverups even from the Inquisition as a whole. Members include:
**'''Anton Zerbe:''' Head of the Tyrantine Cabal. Like any good Amalathian, he's trying to keep the other Cabal members from going at each others' throats.
**'''Rykehuss:''' Monodominant Witchhunter with all the subtlety of a brick to the face. Has a penchant for burning entire towns to the ground just because he has a funny feeling.
**'''Ahmazzi:''' Three hundred-year-old Daemonhunter. Wants you damn kids to get off his lawn. Is actually a wanted heretic with an Excommunication Order.
**'''Astrid Skane:''' A Recongregator, otherwise a female version of Judge Dredd. Can be quite subtle despite what you think, and hates Nobility.
**'''Van Vuygens:''' The foremost expert on Tyranids in the Calixis Sector. Currently investigating a large-scale xenos incursion that may or may not be the Slaugth.
**'''Globus Vaarak:''' A fat, sarcastic Amalathian who resembles Sloth from ''The Goonies'' if he had three artificial limbs. Responsible for training an above-average number of promising Interrogators.
**'''Olithane Rathbone:''' As an Istvaanian, she's the Cabal's resident shit-stirrer.
**'''Soldevan:''' Xanthite who's quite a few cards short of an Emperor's Tarot. His brain is in a jar he carries around. Did we mention he's crazy?
**'''Vownus Kaede:''' A psyker and Polypsykana sympathizer. Enjoys trolling Inquisitor Rykehuss.
**'''Al-Subaai:''' The newest member of the Cabal and former Interrogator for Inquisitor Van Vuygens. Focuses mainly on the Cold Trade. Knows the true purpose of Aglets and boybands.
*'''The Scholariate at Arms:''' A highly effective Ordo Malleus Chamber dedicated to the principle of strength through competition, and tolerates a broad number of factions within its membership. Members include:
**'''Ghankus Dhar:''' Proctor of the Scholariate. Lone survivor of a major Chaos incursion on Spectoris.
**'''Suresya:''' A secretive but effective Daemonhunter. Secretly a Phaenonite.
**'''Octus Enoch:''' Specializes in preventing Daemonic incursions through prevention or fulfillment of prophecy; may be an Ocularian for this reason.
*'''Silas Marr:''' An extremely controversial Inquisitor obsessed with the Haarlock Dynasty.
*'''Glavious Wroth:''' An Amalathian dedicated to policing the Inquistion itself, which has naturally made a lot of enemies (particularly the Tyrantine Cabal).
*'''Antonia Mesmeron:''' An Oblationist whose presence, identity and purpose is unknown to the Calixian Conclave.</div></div>

====Adeptus Terra====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Marius Hax:''' Current Lord Sector. A complete hardass who rules the Calixis Sector with an iron fist. Known to be paranoid about that control slipping away from him. Presently being manipulated by the Istvaanian faction and undermined by the Recongregator faction.
*'''Duke Severus XIII:''' Lord Sub-sector of the Periphery and descendant of a Rogue Trader screwed by Drusus after the Angevin Crusade. [[Derp|Declared independence from the Imperium with the help of a kabal of Dark Eldar]]. Not mentioned in Dark Heresy, but the default setting for [[Only War]] deals with Severus getting his shit kicked in by the Imperium, Warboss Ghenghiz Grimtoof Git-Slaver, [[Thousand Sons|Sektoth the False Whisperer]], and his Dark Eldar "allies".</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%">

====Ministorum====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Ignato:''' Arch-Cardinal of the Calixis Sector, Cardinal of the Golgenna Reach, and head of the Tarsine Synod. Spends most of his time struggling to unify the sector Munitorum, dealing with Hestor's schemes and attempting to root out the Temple Tendency in the sector. Secretly part of a conspiracy to destabilize the sector, even though this [[Derp|completely contradicts the rest of his fluff]] and Hestor should have been given this role.
*'''Kregory Hestor:''' Cardinal of the Drusus Marches and head of the Drusian Cult. Currently using the Maccabeus Schism to weasel as much power from Ignato as possible and increase the independence of his arch-diocese. Secretly the head of the Temple Tendency in the Calixis Sector.

*'''Cal Sutai Arran:''' Cardinal of the Malfian sub-sector and head of the Periphery Church. Known as "the Venerable Cal," is the oldest and most respected member of the Calixian Synod. Worried that the Maccabeus Schism is turning into outright heresy. Rides around in a hoverchair armed with a fucking psycannon.
*'''Fortis:''' Cardinal of the Periphery and the Halo Stars. A major ally of the Venerable Cal. In conflict with Hestor over the control of Port Wander and the Koronus Expanse beyond. One of the few individuals privy to the Margin Crusade's catastrophic failure (read: the fact that the Margin Crusade exists only in propaganda and is actually a front for deploying forces into the Jericho Reach for the Achilus Crusade).
*'''Dantius Landsholt:''' Cardinal of the Hazeroth sub-sector. Grossly incompetent but a loyal supporter of Ignato.
*'''Yvenna:''' Cardinal of the Markayn Marches. In conflict with the Red Redemption. Holds a deep personal hatred for Cardinal Olranna.

=====Rogue Inquisitors=====
*'''Felroth Gelt:''' A Xanthite Inquisitor on the run from the Calixian Conclave. Keeper of a voluminous journal that serves as a vehicle for much of Dark Heresy's fluff. Originator of that famous "only the insane have strength enough to prosper" quote.  
*'''Staven Arcturos:''' A Radical Inquisitor of the Xenos Hybris faction obsessed with the Eldar.
*'''Natius Osrinn:''' A former protege of Inquisitor van Nuygens who became a Xanthite and headed out into the Koronus Expanse. Wields a daemon sword and wears a suit of Terminator armor whose origin is unknown, and is said to have a retinue of mutants, rogue psykers, and even a Daemonhost.

*'''Hettesh Kane:''' A sanctioned psyker formally working under the Ordo Hereticus, now a friend of the Burning Princess.
*'''Seraph:''' A mind-cleansed former member of the Moritat death-cult in the employ of Inquisitor Mesmeron.  Was once daemon-possessed, and may be succumbing to Khornate influences.
*'''Cyrrik Scayl:''' A techpriest seconded to the Ordo Hereticus who became a disciple of heretek Nomen Ryne.  Currently attempting to transfer a human mind into a machine, which is the direst tech-heresy imaginable.
*'''The Unknown Heretic:''' An individual known only for hunting members of the Calixian Conclave and demonstrating an intimate knowledge of the workings of the Inquisition.
=====Others=====
*'''Myrchella Sinderfell:''' A Scintillan noblewoman and the end result of a Recongregator experiment in genetic engineering gone horribly wrong.  Has dabbled in every heresy imaginable, including warpcraft, and travels the sector indulging in continuous acts of wanton depravity.

Active in the smuggling of xenos artifacts and human trafficking.  On the run from both the Inquisition and his own family.  Appears to be at least partially inspired by Baron Harkonnen.

====Cults and Recidivists====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

=====Recidivist Organizations=====
*'''Kasballica:''' The Space Mafia.  Yeah, that pretty much covers it.
*'''Serrated Query:''' An atheist, xenophile, Warp-using cartel.  Extremely resourceful due to their freethinking mindset, and consequently their willingness to experiment and their devotion to profit above all other things. Speculated to be an Istvaanite project that got out of control.
*'''Amaranthine Syndicate:''' A seemingly legitimate trading organization that, in addition to its smuggling operations, is actually the pawn of a xenos species known as the [[Slaugth]], who are planning to use it to plunge the sector into civil war so they can feast on the corpses.
