It was at the Conclave of Varoth that Inquisitor Coteaz
cemented his reputation amongst the senior masters
of
the Ordo Malleus. The noted Inquisitor Laredian, High
Protector of Formosa, had called the conclave in
response
to his discovery of a powerful daemon-bound crystal.
Inquisitor Lardeian proposed that the artefact be
studied
and used by the Ordo to aid in the identification and
destruction of the followers of the Ruinous Powers.
As Laredian concluded his address, Coteaz rose and
marched to the centre of the auditorium, his daemonhammer
raised
and cherubic familiars darting around his head. He
smashed the daemon-crystal with one blow and denounced
Laredian
as a blasphemer and trafficker with abominations, declaring
him Extremis Diabolus.
The conclave erupted at this flagrant breach of protocol.
Unfazed, Coteaz produced an hourglass and promised he
would prove his words true before the sands ran out.
Laredian had no choice but to face his accuser. In the
examination that followed it emerged that Laredian has
not only sanctioned the use of Daemonhosts, but had
read proscribed texts and employed the tools of the
enemy. Faced with such incontrovertible evidence, Laredian
was found guilty of Warpcraft, practicing the forbidden
arts, and heresy against the God-Emperor. He was executed
by Coteaz himself and his ashes fired into the heart
of a star.
Inquisitor Lord Torquemada Coteaz may be included in
your Daemonhunters army of 1,500 points or more as an
HQ choice. He may take a Retinue of up to 15 Henchmen,
and may have 0-4 of any one type. If you include Coteaz
in your army, you may not use Daemonhosts.
