Tallemachus Leyk
Tallemachus Leyk is an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, who traveled to Armageddon after the Great Rift's creation to watch over the world's Red Angel's Gate.[1]
The Gate was a empyric fault line, that had been created by the Daemon Primarch Angron when he invaded the world, during the First War for Armageddon. Leyk's Space Marine Captain ally believed the Gate would soon open, due to the Great Rift, which led the Inquisitor to watch over it. The Captain was later proven correct, when the Gate burst open and hordes of Khorne's Daemons began to rampage across Armageddon. This was during the Ork Warlord Thraka's second invasion of the world and in response to the Daemons' sudden invasion, Leyk immediately had Armageddon blockaded. He also began cleansing any Imperial forces that had been affected by the presence of Khorne's hordes, but faced resistance while doing so. The Imperial commanders defending Armageddon still believed that the Orks were the true threat and objected to the Inquisitor having their forces purged or mind wiped. To Leyk however, the commanders objections were foolish, as with the appearance of Daemons, the war against the Orks no longer mattered. Worse still, Leyk feared the Daemon Primarch Angron would soon appeared and sent a desperate message for aid to his Space Marine ally. The Inquisitor asked the Captain to come to Armageddon with whatever strength he could, as Leyk felt only the Captain could prevent Angron's emergence. Leyk worried, though, that by the time his message was received, it could be too late to save Armageddon.[1]
