An '''Acolyte''' (Explicator or Interrogator) is an apprentice [[Inquisitor]] given over to the tutelage of a more experienced member of the [[Inquisition]]. Acolytes accompany a fully experienced Inquisitor in his Inquisitorial duties. He may perform a number of tasks such as warrior, scribe, and interrogator. After a set amount of time, his master will give him a recommendation to the Ordos of the Inquisition to advance his pupil to full Inquisitorial rank. After this, the Acolyte is a full Inquisitor and begins his own agenda and operations. Although the Acolyte/Inquisitor is no longer bound to his old master, they will have formed a bond and may work together and help one another in the future.
Acolytes are also often called upon to do separate missions of less importance or less then necessary fire power for their mentor and it can be as simple as run errandsto a planetary government, get takeout, shuttle around important people, Scout terrain, file reports; to fully represent representing an Inquisitor's presenceon an entire planet which may include hunting down a particular individual, leading a group of individuals to exterminate a cult, etc. Often Acolytes are sent into an area to set up a base of operations in preparation for the coming of their mentormentors and subsequent missions.
Famous Interrogators include: Interrogator Gravier of the Inquisitor Ascendant series and Interrogator [[Gideon Ravenor]] while under the mentorship of Inquisitor [[Eisenhorn]].
