Description
In my new Dark Heresy campaign, the players are acolytes to the mysterious Voivode-Inquisitor Hanz Schneidder, working in secretive missions around the galaxy. The Inquisitor is a mystery even for his most close acolytes, to start with the fact that nobody knows his face, he only presides over his court of cohorts and acolytes in strange gatherings were everyone wears blank and featureless masks and robes, some white and some black, the one to sit in the Inquisitorial throne had change height, build and skin color in each such gatherings, making it obvious the Inquisitor uses proxies to deal with his minions.

Also no good results comes from any archive investigation. There are hundreds of Inquisitors named "Hanz Schneidders" around the galaxy, and none seems to bear any relation to this one in particular. Also nobody know in what Ordos does he operates, and despite his actions usually seem to suggest the Ordo Hereticus, there is no way to know for sure.

Also his rank of "Voivode" is mysterious, as it suggests he came from some noble class in a vague slav/germanic/romanian cultured planet, like Vostroya or Krieg, but no "Hanz Schneidder" is known to exist bearing this title in any of the most well known planets of the Imperium.

His minions can tell that the Inquisitor have a strange taste for ritual, submitting his acolytes to strange and seemly random initiation rituals that can come from a simple shake of hands and lectures to bloody mutilations and psychologic torture.

Usually his acolytes work in small cells, directed by the older and wiser members of the Inquisitor's cadre, being summoned to some starship from time to time to report their progress and attend to the initiation of new agents. There seem to be several ranks of operatives among the cadre, probably accessed by merit or seniority, but no one can tell how many of this ranks exist or even how the chain of command operate. The highest rank seem to be the "Fünf Finger", a team of five (seemly senior) operatives that coordinate the other cells and ranks, often relaying orders from the Inquisitor to lesser operatives.
