Tantalid was a Witch Hunter of the Ecclesiarchy and enemy of Inquisitor Eisenhorn.¹

Arnault Tantalid was well-known for his heavy, red power armour and the chainsword Theophantus, and was known on occasion to make use of a concealment field to become invisible. He has an extreme hatred of psykers, possibly placing him in-line with Thorian or Mondominant mindset, which was the basis for his hatred of Eisenhorn, made more extreme by Eisenhorn's determination to use psykers in his staff and to advance his own psychic abilities. They met on Bradell's World, where they argued in a court over the right to try a heretic (Tantalid won this round), on Kuuma (where they fought over 'virgin' psychic slaves, which Eisenhorn wanted to send in the Black Ships of the Inquisition and Tantalid wanted to slay - Eisenhorn won this round), on Lethe Eleven (where Tantalid slew the heretic Beldame Sadia and nearly killed Eisenhorn) and finally Orbul Infanta where he killed the astropath Taesera Ungish before being killed by Eisenhorn in an Ecclesiarch chapel.¹
