Power Progression

Background / History

The Inquisition is an independent organization operating across various worlds, dedicated solely to the protection and preservation of humanity 187. Originally tied to the Human Empire in concept, player Inquisitors rejected the Emperor's authority and methods, leading the Inquisition to operate as a fully autonomous military force following the collapse of the Empire 187 268. Under the leadership of Grand Inquisitor Duanmu Huai, the organization established its first stronghold in Hammerfell Province before expanding its influence across multiple dimensions, universes, and star systems, including Faerun, Arkham City, and the Extraterritorial Star System 187 665 1524.

Operating on the foundational core principle that humanity must be protected from all external threats—specifically Xenomorphs, Heretics, and Devils—the Inquisition adheres strictly to results rather than subjective morality or political stability 187 321 596. It refuses to intervene in internal human political conflicts, viewing them as irrelevant to its primary mission, but responds with absolute, overwhelming force to any entity or civilization deemed a threat to the human race 188 834 1527.

Appearance

The Inquisition presents a stark, imposing aesthetic centered heavily around gothic architecture, heavy steel, and overt symbols of mortality 690 1524. Strongholds and warships are dominated by dark, industrial designs that project intimidation and absolute authority 1037 1524.

Personality

The Inquisition possesses a cold, unyielding, and pragmatic demeanor, characterized by absolute ruthlessness toward enemies of humanity 1524. It does not engage in diplomacy, negotiation, or compromise, operating under the absolute binary of eradication or survival 737 1494. It rejects moral hypocrisy, openly defining itself as a force of executioners and destroyers rather than a traditional champion of justice 321 1586. The organization displays total indifference to external public opinion, political backlash, or theological traditions, prioritizing strict adherence to its doctrine above all else 737.
