Interrogator Arcelius Montalban

-A new presence on Asterion, reported by the acolytes caught stealing the cypher ident of a navy official.

-Interrogator Montalban is not part of the Ordo Hereticus, and therefore not a member of Lord Inquisitor Kabella Vyne's Retinue. What Ordo they do represent it currently unknown, but they seem to be interested in uncovering the secret histories of Asterion.

-Two more of Montalban's acolytes—Tongs and Thunder (given name Remus, thus all other names given can be assumed to be codenames)—were encountered during an operation to locate Archivist Denn and the documents he'd uncovered in Level 442 of the Administratum Archive. Circumstances aligned such that we were able to join forces with the acolytes.

-This has opened the possibility of negotiation and cooperative action with Interrogator Montalban; though generally any interaction with the Inquisition is prudent to avoid, our position within the complexities of Asterion's politics has made this impossible, and thus controlling the nature of all interactions is the best outcome we can strive for moving forward.
