Thuring escaped, and Eisenhorn promised to keep a watchful eye on Midas' infant daughter, Medea. In 312.M41, Eisenhorn's best friend and Acolyte, Midas Betancore, was killed by the Heretic Fayde Thuring during an investigation.

During the resultant firefight, Eisenhorn lost his left hand to an experienced former-sharpshooter. These former soldiers of the Sameter 9th Infantry Regiment had been driven mad by the horrors they had faced in war, and were ritually killing regular citizens.īacked up by the Arbitrators of the local Adeptus Arbites, Eisenhorn managed to corner and eliminate the fanatics in an abandoned and decaying building.
Soon, however, it was revealed that the culprits were actually ex-soldiers of the Astra Militarum.
The following year, 241.M41, Eisenhorn investigated the apparent ritual murders on the world of Sameter, at first believing the killings to be the work of some Chaos Cult. It was during this attack that Eisenhorn also first met Cherubael, a powerful Daemonhost who would plague Eisenhorn and the Imperium in later endeavours.
However, the majority of the local Inquisitorial conclave, which was dominated by Puritans, supported Eisenhorn's decision to burn the tome, outvoting the Radicals.Įisenhorn was therefore spared from censure and was in fact instrumental in planning a raid on the Saruthi homeworld during which the remaining tainted items were destroyed. Some Radical Inquisitors deemed this a heretical act, and damned Eisenhorn for it. The human Necroteuch tome written in High Gothic was quickly found and destroyed by Eisenhorn himself. The Saruthi had come into the possession of a copy of the Necroteuch, and had translated it into their own language, creating two versions of this powerful Chaos tome and a translating tool. Eisenhorn tracked the survivors of the heretical Gudrun cabal to a colony world inhabited by the xenos Saruthi.

During this year Eisenhorn succeeded in ending the menace of the mass-murderer Murdin Eyeclone, an investigation that is notable not only for bringing Godwyn Fischig and Alizebeth Bequin into his employ as Acolytes, but also for setting him in pursuit of both Pontius Glaw and the Necroteuch.įollowing leads from the Eyeclone investigation, Eisenhorn became tangled up with a heretical cabal on the world of Gudrun, and in fact was briefly captured and tortured by one of its members, Gorgone Locke. His first successful persecution was that of the heretic Lemete Syre.Ĭarving out a stable and competent career, Eisenhorn eventually found himself being drawn into events that would change the course of his life in the year 240.M41. He studied alongside fellow Inquisition apprentice Titus Endor and was elevated to the rank of full Inquisitor in 222.M41, at the incredibly young age of 24.
