Index Vigilum - The Inquisitors Von Wulfenwald

This is still a work in progress, but it's about time I got to posting something in a thread of their own. Left to do is to expand upon their respective teams/resources, as well as important events and accomplishments prior to the italicized story, which I intend to leave as the frozen point of time 40k calls "the present."

Inquisitor Ordin Furst von Wulfenwald and Inquisitor Astrid Furstin von Wulfenwald, of the Ordo Hereticus. This pair had plagued the seedy underbelly of Sector Kinnver for nearly half a century when working separately, as lone wolves unleashed upon the wholly unsuspecting. The warships and immense archives kept by Inquisitor Ordin were powerful tools in his hands, the man's careful planning and knowledge-base serving him well in keeping the upper hand and earning him the title of the Brother of the Watch. The Huntress earned her own name much more quickly, using her connections higher up the Inquisitorial chain of command to earn herself a place at the trigger of Exterminatus. To her, a world must suffer greatly for innocence to return, and corruption can only be rid of by war.
 
So when the two had wed, marrying their resources together, life in the Sector had reached a boiling point. No long-standing cult or conspiracy could stand against the two working alongside each other, and they were uprooted and hung one after the other. Though Ordin moderated the extreme puritanism of Astrid, still many worlds felt the toxic lash of Exterminatus flick upon them ever-lasting scars, where the worlds were not burned down whole.
 
As it is always so, and Inquisitor Ordin had expressed this very sentiment on occasion, for every force enacted there must be an equal or greater reaction. When this reaction revealed itself, it rose like a leviathan from the deep, sweeping aside all before it like mere flotsam. Its very gaze, even from so far away, burned the sensitive mind of Inquisitor Ordin, whittling the unconquerable pair to an unprotected one without even initiating a preliminary attack. Despite the misgivings of Lord-Proctor Linus Feld of the Ordo Malleus, the Huntress would vent her wrath through the devastation of an entire sub-sector. No matter the sheer material power that she would unleash upon this enemy of her mind, still she would only ever hear his laughter.
