	So when it became obvious that the Emperor's plan to starve the [[Chaos Gods]] with [[Imperial Truth\|atheism]] was a failure due to the [[Horus Heresy]], the Big E tasked [[Malcador the Sigillite]] with the formation of the Inquisition. Charged with finding "men of character" to seek out the [[heresy\|traitor]], the [[xenos\|xeno]], the [[daemon]], and the unexpecting, the Inquisition serves as the secret protectors (or murderers) of the [[Imperium of Man]], guarding it from those who would destroy it from within, from without, and from [[Warp\|beyond]]. The founders are: Kyril Sindermann, once the [[Iterator]] of Horus's fleet and one of the first believers in the Emperor's divinity, Lemuel Gaumon AKA Promeus, a former Remembrancer of the Thousand Sons and the first person to successfully be exorcised ~~AND Morianna~~ the Seer, a handmaiden of the Emperor that later became a Chaos worshipper (No surprise that Inquisitors like Quixos defect to Chaos when ONE OF THE FOUNDERS ~~was corrupt from the start~~!).

	The Inquisition began with the [[Knights-Errant]], a group of proto-Grey Knights drafted from Loyalist Space Marines (including those formerly from Legions that had turned traitor) that were active during the Heresy and would include the first Grand Masters of the Grey Knights, forming the beginnings of the Ordo Malleus (the Ordo Malleus wouldn't form proper until the Inquisition also made the Ordo Xenos). Over time, the other ordos were added; the Ordo Xenos after the [[War of The Beast]] (partly to manage the brand new [[Deathwatch]]), the Ordo Sicarius after the Wars of Vindication, and the Ordo Hereticus after the [[Age of Apostasy]], and so on. Over time, the Inquistion's overall mission became less about fighting the machinations of Chaos so much as preserving the Imperium's integrity as much as possible; as deviance was to be interpreted as disloyalty and therefore Heresy, this also meant they took a more active approach in Imperial affairs.

	** With the Psychic Awakening, it is probably a pretty good time to be a Polypsykana. You can talk down to your fellow Inquisitors about how you were trying to prevent a scenario like this from happening, that the organic transition into a psychic humanity ''that you'' advocated for was clearly better than the scenario which nature eventually threw at the galaxy. Whether or not that gets you a bolt in the face is anyone's guess, since in this hypothetical situation you're an Inquisitor.		** With the Psychic Awakening, it is probably a pretty good time to be a Polypsykana.

	*{{anchor\|Recongregationism}}'''Recongregationism''': Radicals who believe that the Imperium has become stagnant and corrupt, and needs to be rebuilt lest it collapses further. Unfortunately for them, they aren't entirely sure about how to do this, or how it should be rebuilt after tearing down the old order. Some of the more extreme Recongregators end up like Lilean Chase, an Inquisitor who fell to Chaos and founded the Cognitae (or at least its ''40K'' incarnation). These Inquisitors may be the closest thing to a token heroic faction of the imperium of man next to the [[salamanders]] [[ultramarines]] [[lamenters]] and [[space ~~wolves~~]] (to a certain and ~~limted~~ extent of course), considering that they're Inquisitors giving a crap about ordinary people. Some of them apparently have some [[Communism\|''interesting'' ideas about the way to fix the Imperium]], as shown in a small story one of them used a cadre of Xenos Hunters composed of Space Marines from chapters that Puritans aren't too fond of ([[Black Dragons]], [[Flame Falcons]], etc) to simultaneously stop a [[Necron]] incursion and topple an oppressive planetary government with the hope something better will go out of the consecutive population uprising.		*{{anchor\|Recongregationism}}'''Recongregationism''': Radicals who believe that the Imperium has become stagnant and corrupt, and needs to be rebuilt lest it collapses further.

	*{{anchor\|Seculos Attendous}}'''Seculos Attendous''': Reddit atheists. A minor faction that views the [[Ecclesiarchy]] as an obstacle to mankind's progress and seeks to weaken it wherever they can.

	*{{anchor\|Xanthism}}'''Xanthism''': The most overt and well-known form of Radicalism, Xanthians (named after Lord Inquisitor Zaranchek Xanthus, executed for heresy in M32) hold that only by controlling the power of Chaos can Chaos be defeated (which is like thinking that the solution to being stabbed in the gut is to push the blade until it comes out through your back). They believe that Chaotic artefacts such as possessed swords and Daemonhosts are viable weapons against the Archenemy which should be used whenever possible. Most of the time, this ends up spectacularly backfiring when their tools rebel at the worst possible time - or worse, corrupt the Xanthite using them into the service of Chaos. The Ruinous Powers hate each other, but they aren't always complete idiots about it, and when you play with fire, you only have to drop it once to set the whole house ablaze.

Some of the more extreme Recongregators end up like Lilean Chase, an Inquisitor who fell to Chaos and founded the Cognitae (or at least its ''40K'' incarnation). These Inquisitors may be the closest thing to the ~~modern views~~ of ~~western society~~, considering that they're Inquisitors giving a crap about ordinary people. Some of them apparently have some [[Communism\|''interesting'' ideas about the way to fix the Imperium]], as shown in a small story one of them used a cadre of Xenos Hunters composed of Space Marines from chapters that Puritans aren't too fond of ([[Black Dragons]], [[Flame Falcons]], etc) to simultaneously stop a [[Necron]] incursion and topple an oppressive planetary government with the hope something better will go out of the consecutive population uprising.		*{{anchor\|Recongregationism}}'''Recongregationism''': Radicals who believe that the Imperium has become stagnant and corrupt, and needs to be rebuilt lest it collapses further. Unfortunately for them, they aren't entirely sure about how to do this, or how it should be rebuilt after tearing down the old order. Some of the more extreme Recongregators end up like Lilean Chase, an Inquisitor who fell to Chaos and founded the Cognitae (or at least its ''40K'' incarnation). These Inquisitors may be the closest thing to a token heroic faction of the imperium of man next to the [[salamanders]] [[ultramarines]] [[lamenters]] and [[space wolves]] (to a certain and limted extent of course), considering that they're Inquisitors giving a crap about ordinary people.

	*{{anchor\|Seculos Attendous}}'''Seculos Attendous''': Reddit atheists. A minor faction that views the [[Ecclesiarchy]] as an obstacle to mankind's progress and seeks to weaken it wherever they can. A shame that they can't agree on what to replace it with on the absurdly tiny chance they succeed.		*{{anchor\|Seculos Attendous}}'''Seculos Attendous''': Reddit atheists.

	*{{anchor\|Xanthism}}'''Xanthism''': The most overt and well-known form of Radicalism, Xanthians (named after Lord Inquisitor Zaranchek Xanthus, executed for heresy in M32) hold that only by controlling the power of Chaos can Chaos be defeated (which is like thinking that the solution to being stabbed in the gut is to push the blade until it comes out through your back). They believe that Chaotic artefacts such as possessed swords and Daemonhosts are viable weapons against the Archenemy which should be used whenever possible. Most of the time, this ends up spectacularly backfiring when their tools rebel at the worst possible time - or worse, corrupt the Xanthite using them into the service of Chaos. The Ruinous Powers hate each other, but they aren't always complete idiots about it, and when you play with fire, you only have to drop it once to set the whole house ablaze. Eisenhorn eventually followed Xanthism after being forced to use Cherubael to save the lives of his retinue.		*{{anchor\|Xanthism}}'''Xanthism''': The most overt and well-known form of Radicalism, Xanthians (named after Lord Inquisitor Zaranchek Xanthus, executed for heresy in M32) hold that only by controlling the power of Chaos can Chaos be defeated (which is like thinking that the solution to being stabbed in the gut is to push the blade until it comes out through your back).
