A Witch Hunter
stands with her retinue and the mighty warriors of the Adepta
Sororitas against Chaos.

The
most insidious and dangerous threat is the one you cannot see. It
is this thought that spawned the Inquisition, an organization devoted
to rooting out traitors, heretics, mutants, and aliens that undermine
Humanity. These threats are so pernicious that the Inquisition has
full command of the might of the Imperium of Man, from the stalwart
Space Marines to the ordering of Exterminatus the
orbital destruction of an entire world.
Within the Inquisition, there are Orders that specialize
in fighting particular foes. The Ordo Hereticus, or Witch Hunters,
are devoted to fighting the mutant, rogue psyker, and heretic. Mutation
is an affront to the purity of Man that can and does manifest itself
at any time. Meanwhile, rogue psykers can twist the natural order
and even call forth Daemons from the Warp. Lastly, heresy knows
no bounds and thus requires the most vigilance from the Inquisition
to uncover and eliminate. In the end, these very forces could shatter
the Imperium if left unchecked.
In their never-ending quest to protect the Imperium,
the Witch Hunters have access to the most lethal weapons and agents
known to Man. They also have a historical tie to the Adepta Sororitas
the Sisters of Battle. As the Chamber Militant of the galaxy-spanning
Ecclesiarchy, the Sisters of Battle are fierce warriors that are
equals to their brother Space Marines. What the Sisters lack in
genetic enhancement they make up for in faith and devotion. No one
is more devoted to the cause and cult of the Emperor than they.

We are at war with forces too terrible to comprehend.
We cannot afford mercy for any of its victims too weak to
take the correct course. Mercy destroys us; it weakens us
and saps our resolve. Put aside all such thoughts. They are
not worthy of Inquisitors in the service of Our Emperor. Praise
his name for in our resolve we only reflect his purpose of
will.
- Inquisitor Enoch
