			* '''Jurgen''': Vail is not a psyker, which is a bit of a disadvantage in her line of work. But if you can't manipulate the warp then having a blank on hand is the next best thing, especially if he can also handle a meltagun. However, taking him into her coterie would advertise his existence to her rivals. Instead she choose to inform Cain of Jurgen's powers and leave him in Cain's care, making it abundantly clear that Jurgen is safer as a nobody in the Imperial Guard.
	* '''Rakel''': Allegedly well endowed female sanctioned psyker; could pass as attractive if her eyes didn't constantly swim out of focus.

	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 (at least among existing book characters, except maybe [[Eisenhorn]] in his early career) 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... fine, 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.

	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 (at least among existing book characters, except maybe [[Eisenhorn]] in his early career) 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.

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 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.

	One detail often overlooked about Amberley Vail is how Cain is kind of scared of her half the time. Cain notes her habit and fondness for a classic Imperium kid's song which goes "The Tracks on the Land Raider crush the Heretics" a Grimdark version of "The wheels on the bus go round and round." While she has her charm and cheerfulness, she is a fucking Inquisitor who does not fuck around.		One detail often overlooked about Amberley Vail is how Cain is kind of scared of her half the time.

	Cain has on occasions remarked that being crazy seemed to be a requirement for being part of an Inquisitorial Retinue. According to Amberley such a requirement is not ''strictly'' the case.

And no we don't mean ''[[/d/\|those]]'' sort of assets.

	* '''Rakel''': Allegedly well endowed female sanctioned psyker; could pass as attractive if her eyes didn't constantly swim out of focus.
