We've all noted and wondered and complained that there's not a lot of information on utilizing the "Inquisitor" advanced career, but I'm there now.
An Untouchable Desperado has attained 75 Influence and 10,000 XP spent and he's proved to be a really viable candidate based upon his strengths and the feats he's accomplished ingame (recruiting half a chapter of Astartes to wage a war against the Heretical Mechanicus that're swarming all across the Sector amongst other things). He bought up the idea and it's stuck in my head. It'd be a terrific thing to do, but I want it to do memorable and something that the players can point to after the campaign ends and say "That was a highlight".
But I'm not sure how to do it. The players have drawn up planes to attack a strong point of the Mechanicus (a whole Forge World), but with 500 Astartes, the combined might of Four Inquisitors and their supporting staff it's not unfeasible that they'll all burn up in orbit on the way there. Should the Forge World fall, I'm thinking it'd be a great spot for the Promotion by his Inquisitor, amidst the burning wreckage of wherever they currently stand.
But I'm not sure how to go about it, I want it to be an informal thing and not a huge ceremony with a speech. I want some words though, strong words that the Character will hopefully find inspiring and useful. And that's where you guys come in, what words could the Inquisitor offer? He's essentially Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt in temperament and methodology, stern but fair and giving credit where credit's due if that helps offer any insight.
