Fyodor Karamazov, also known as the Pyrophant Judge of Salem Proctor, is an Inquisitor Lord of the Ordo Hereticus.[Needs Citation]

Biography

A staunch Amalathian, Karamazov is bitterly opposed to the notion of change, believing that the Emperor's plan for His people must be left to unfold as He planned and without the arrogant intervention of those who believe that they understand His will. He is a harsh judge and brooks no pleas of innocence, once famously boasting that he has sent more witches and heretics to their deaths than Macharius.[1]

Karamazov has risen steadily in the Ordo Hereticus for decades, acquiring many supporters within the more hard-line Puritan elements of the Inquisition for his unflinching determination to punish witchcraft and heresy without mercy. His deeds were repute with the rigid application of the Imperial Creed and, though some within the Inquisition criticised his inflexibility and claimed that he had sent thousands of innocents to their deaths, Karamazov would reply with Judge Traggat's famous maxim that "claims of innocence meant nothing; serving only to prove a foolish lack of caution." His purges have become infamous, particularly those carried out on Ultima Macharia, Bakka, and Cypra Mundi. After the Abraxan Purges of 930.M41 he was presented with his mighty Throne of Judgement, which has become a symbol of his power and prestige.[2]

Karamazov's reputation as a ruthless, unforgiving Witch Hunter was already well known throughout Segmentum Solar when he famously clashed with Ecclesiarch Decius XXIII concerning Karamazov's excruciation and eventual immolation of a young preacher from the world of Salem Proctor in 945.M41. This world had broken faith with the Ecclesiarchy, its apostate cardinal turning the world's resources to his own ends and casting out all who defied him. Inquisitor Lord Karamazov led a fleet, together with two entire orders of the Adepta Sororitas, to depose the apostate cardinal, but upon its arrival, he found the world already in rebellion against its traitorous ruler.[1]
