Interrogator Arcelius Montalban

 

-Interrogator Montalban is not part of the Ordo Hereticus, and therefore not a member of Lord Inquisitor Kabella Vyne's Retinue; rather, he represents the Ordo Historica Veritas, and seeks to uncover the secret histories of Asterion. We have since opened negotiations for cooperation with the Interrogator, as elements of our aspirations currently align; 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.

-Montalban was first brought to our attention when Commissioner Comata reported alleged acolytes caught stealing the cypher ident of a navy official. Two more of Montalban's acolytes—Tongs and Thunder (given name Remus, thus all other names given can be assumed to be codenames)—were later 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.

-Our first direct meeting with Interrogator Montalban occurred in the mid hive, at the Chapel of St. D'Chessia on Level 77-K.

-I suspect that Interrogator Montalban and Interrogator Gideon/Brother Gideon are one in the same, based on his explanation of a sending an acolyte into Halcyon who's story matches that of Solomon.
