Jost von Marburg is an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, who is an expert on Genestealers[1a] and he seeks to destroy those Xenos species that oppose the Imperium.[1b]

History

The Space Hulk Forsaken Doom, became the focus of the Inquisitor's efforts to do so, as its Genestealers infested any ship or world it came across. This led Marburg to spend decades of his life studying the Ordo Xenos' records, of one of the Galaxy's most elusive and mysterious Space Hulks. It was a horror that had drifted randomly in and out of the Warp for millennia and had been the grave of countless Space Marines[1b]. Through his studies, Marburg learned of the Ultramarines[1c], Space Wolves[1d] and Dark Angels' defeats after they boarded the Space Hulk[1e]. This allowed him to discover that secretive Chapter's hunt for the Fallen Angels[1f] and that the Forsaken Doom was home to several unique species of Genestealers[1g]. Marburg was eventually able to determine where the Forsaken Doom would emerge next and now required a band of undaunted heroes that he could guide to triumph over the Space Hulk's Genestealers[1h]. This would occur in M42[1n], when the Forsaken Doom threatened to collide with the Forge World Gorgonum and the Blood Angels Captain Ubaldo came to its aid[1i]. His battered force aboard the Blood Crusader had just completed a successful campaign, though, and could only send a single Terminator Squad for the mission[1j]. However before they could depart, and begin placing a series of Melta-bombs near energy cores in the Forsaken Doom[1a], Marburg appeared and made his presence known. The Inquisitor refused to explain how he knew of the Forsaken Doom's location and simply stated he was there to observe the Blood Angels' mission.[1i]

As the Terminator squad, led by Sergeant Tahariel[1i], infiltrated the Forsaken Doom, Inquisitor Marburg began aiding them[1a] as they sought locations to place the Melta-bombs. However since he knew that the Space Hulk contained unique specimens of Genestealers, and they are an expertise of his, Marburg asked the squad to kill or collect any they came across for him to study. Captain Ubaldo agreed to this this at first, as long as their main mission was not put at risk[1a], but he began to object when the Inquisitor demanded more specimens. Marburg reminded the Captain, though, that his status as an Inquisitor meant his demands were not requests, leading Sergeant Tahariel to agree to do so[1k]. Thanks to the squad's efforts, and the aid of Marburg, they completed their of destroying the Forsaken Doom[1l], while also recovering the unique Genestealer specimens that the Inquisitor Marburg demanded.[1m]
