Aegult Caidin
Aegult Caidin is an Inquisitor Lord, who chairs the Inquisition's Calixian Conclave within the Calixis Sector.[1a][1b] Ha has had that possition for the past two hundred years, though respectful of the Lord Sector, Caidin answers to no one except the distant High Lords. From the Tricorn Palace on Scintilla, he supervises and directs the general policies and activities of the Inquisitors under his command, as well as individual specialist cabals of Inquisitors sent on “special circumstance” missions.[1b]
He is a shadowy figure who is only ever seen in public wearing a mask that obscures the Inquisitor Lord's features and his true identity.[3] Supposedly he keeps his true likeness secret, even from close aides and allies, so as to be free to operate unmolested and unrecognised. His true age is not known.[1b]
Caidin and the High Council do their best to keep the scattered Inquisitors moving with a unified purpose, but sometimes they have to arbitrate disputes.[1c] At the same time it is said that Caidin likes a degree of rivalry between his subjects, all the better to ensure that they are working at their best.[2c]
It was Caidin that commissioned Anton Zerbe to be the leader of the Tyrantine Cabal.[1d] It is also rumoured that the Tenebrae Collegium was created by Inquisitor Anton Zerbe after Caidin granted him leave to form a special conclave within the Calixian Conclave following new understandings of the revelations of the Propheticum Hereticus Tenebrae.[2b]
