Blighted Schola
The Blighted Schola was a perverted form of the Schola Progenium, created in the Calixis Sector by the Golgenna Coven, a group of powerful Radical Inquisitors. The Blighted Schola secreted away selected orphans of loyal servants of the Imperium from local Schola Progeniums and schooled them in hidden facilities to create individuals of iron will, profane knowledge, and terrible potential. Using psychic, surgical, and noetic methods, the pupils of these secret institutions were generations of highly capable men and women reared to excel in the service of a Radical Inquisitor. Once finished with their training they were highly resourceful, possessed of forbidden knowledge, and capable of murdering without hesitation or qualm.
The Schola operated for over a century, to great success, before Acolytes of Inquisitor Glavius Wroth discovered evidence of its existence. Wroth would call for a High Conclave of the Ordos Calixis where he denounced the Inquisitors of the Golgenna Coven and those that aided them. The Blighted Schola was purged, its Radical Inquisitor creators were excommunicated and immediately executed and their former pupils were hunted down and killed by teams of Acolytes loyal to Puritan Inquisitors. Though many were killed, some managed to escape and it is feared by some within the Calixian Ordos that some pupils of the Blighted Schola still secretly serve within the ranks of the Inquisition itself.[1]
