Jhovus Theon
Jhovus Theon was an Inquisitor who was known as a firebrand Puritan until he fell under the influence of Daemons and soon turned to Heresy.[1]
He later joined Dark Apostles of the Word Bearers in triggering a full scale Daemonic incursion on the planet Azoth. When word of his actions reached Theon's former peers in the Inquisition, they petitioned the Revilers Chapter for aid and the Space Marines landed upon Azoth in 999.M37 and began purging all life from its surface. Inquisitor Theon was killed in the attack and though the Revilers paid a heavy price in lives to do so, they successfully completed their purge. The surviving Revilers from the attack on Azoth were then subjected to mnemonic purgation, so that Inquisitor Theon's sins were expunged from the annuals of the Imperium for all time.[1]
Trivia

The name Theon might be inspired by the ancient Greek word for "God" or "gods". Or by any of a number of persons from Antiquity bearing that name.
